That storm was depicted a* one of lightning and thunder, and rain and wind. As In* came out of the chapel one of the members tackled him in the midst of tin* people. He began by sax ing: "I h I was a wonderful descript ion of thine of the storm: tin* only thing about it was. it wasn't t rm*. Who told thee it thundered and lightened and rained?" “Why." said Hie preacher, “those are the natural accompanimentof a storm.” “Ah.” said In*, “but if thee had read thy Bible thee would have seen that it was a storm of wind, just like thine."
