Odd Sermon Advertisements

This is the way some Western people advertise their sermons, according to the Occident, of San Francisco. It doesn't hurt the other clergy in the denomination to state that the advertiser is the minister of the Baptist Church at San Jose, Cal. This is the notice:—
"Services at 11 A. M. and 7 P. M. Morning subject, 'Eating Butter and Honey the Instrumental Means of Knowing to Refuse the Evil and Choose the Good.' Dairymen and bee-keepers specially invited. Evening subject, 'The Trinal Nature of Man.' All interested in human destiny invited."
Now we advise that parson that if there is any butter and honey that forms "the instrumental means of knowing to refuse the evil and choose the good," he sell all that he has and buy that butter and honey and eat nothing else the rest of his days. What odd sticks do get into pulpits at times.
