FREE SEATS.

Mr. Talmage, when arguing for a free pew system, after describing the horrors of a shipwreck, people drowning, the launching of a life-boat, said: “Stop, you cannot get in here unless you pay! This seat in the middle of the boat is worth a dollar; this in the bow fifty cents; you may have that one in the stern for a quarter. If you cannot pay that, wait for the free life-boat, the mission chapel! That will be along after awhile.”
