HARD ON BOSTON.

“ONE clergyman testified that he recently exchanged with a brother minister, and although the senior pastor sat only one or two pews removed from the pulpit, and no one was between him and the stranger clergyman, neither this senior pastor nor any one else in the entire congregation spoke to him either before or after the service. They had not been introduced. Another clergyman testified to exactly the same experience in another congregation to which he preached both morning and evening. Another testified that when he came to the church as its pastor, persons who regularly attended the prayer-meeting would pass him in the aisle after the meeting without speaking, because they had not been formally introduced to their new pastor.”—The Golden Rule.
