For all would-be orators we submit the following 'aVoutuMarfr-Twain: ;,The famous humorist went to church one Sunday and heard a missionary talk. In his report of the address, he lays convincing emphasis on the importance of knowing when to stop. "He was the most eloquent orator I ever listened to,” writes Mark Twain. "He paintod the benighted condition of the heathen so clearly that my deepest passion was aroused. I resolved to break a lifelong habit and contribute a dollar to teaoh the gospel to my benighted brethern. As the speaker proceeded, I decided to make it.five [ dollars, and then ten. Finally I knew it S to be a duty to give to the cause all the I cash I had with me — twenty-five dollars, i The pleading of the orator wrought upon me ¡till further and I decided to borrow twenty dollars from my friend who sat at my side. That was the time to take up the collection. However, the speaker proceeded, and I final-lv dropped to sleep. Wien the usher awoke me with the collection plate, I not only refused to contribute, but am ashamed to state that I actually stole fifteen cents."

He said he was not a believer in long sermons. Speaking of his own Church Sunday night he said they had three speakers — one talked an hour, one 20 minutes and the other 5 minutes and he remembered much more of what was said by the 5-minute speaker than the other two.
