THE editor of the Evangelical Observer, in reference to a certain
person, took occasion to write that he was rectus in ecclesia, i.e.,
in good standing in the church. The compositor, in the editor's absence,
converted it into rectus in culina, which although not very bad Latin,
altered the sense very materially, giving the reverend gentleman a good
standing in the kitchen.
