that on one occasion he made a present I At the last service lie looked down
of a suit of clothes to each of his em 1 at the reporters who sat at a table
ployees in a certain department Each just in front of th pulpit and said
man was told that he might order his And I want to tell you fellows that
own suit and send the bill to Mr i like you a lot in spite of your mani
mour no restrictions being made as to fold faults You boys dont treat me
price In order to avail himself fully right though You take my sermons
of tins liberality one young man or- ani pick out a piece here a piece there
dered evening clothes costing S0 and a piece somewhere else Then
When the bill was sent in Mr Armour y0u string the pieces together and
sent for the clerk to vouch for its ac- naturally they read funny
curacy and finding it right assured Now suppose 1 reported the Bible
the man it would be paid As the clerk that way A man asks me what the
was leaving however Mr Armour said Bible tells him to do I read in one
