A Lesson of Punctuality.

As Bro. Canright gave us an item of a horse’s reasoning, I thought this would not be out of place: While Bro. Andrews was here, I hitched up my team, drove up opposite the door and stepped into the house while Bro. Andrews and the family made preparation to go to meeting. They were a little slow, and on going out, found no team. After looking around, without finding it, Bro. A. started on afoot (as it was already late) so as not to disappoint anybody else. The team crossed a road that they had been accustomed to traveling every working day that week, and went on, passing several persons afoot on their way to church, who supposed the family were driving them. They went on, and up to the post, as if driven, and stopped. They had been up hills and down, across bridges, and turned several corners, going a distance of one mile and a half without moving the cushions off from the seats or doing any harm, otherwise than causing us to walk and the meeting to commence late. W. O. DUNGAN.
