A Windy Minister


IN one of our northern counties, a rural district had its harvest

operations seriously affected by continuous rains. The crops being much

laid, wind was desired in order to restore them to a condition fit for

the sickle. A minister, in his Sabbath services, expressed their wants

in prayer as follows:--Send us wind, no a rantin', tantin', tearin'

wind, but a noohin' (noughin?), soughin', winnin' wind. More expressive

words than these could not be found in any language.
