CLERICAL SLIPS.
A certain preacher, discoursing upon Bunyan and his works, caused a titter among his. hearers by exclaiming: "In these days, my brethren, we want more Bunyans.” Another clergyman, pleading earnestly with his parishioners for the construction of a cemetery for their parish, asked them to consider "the deplorable condition of thirty thousand Christian Englishmen living without Christian burial.” Still more curious was this clerical slip: A gentleman said to the minister:
"When do you expect to see Deacon S. again?” "Never,” sa ; d the reverend gentleman solemnly; “the Deacon is in Heaven.”
