"And Moses said unto Aaron, take a pot," and in an eloquent sermon of
1h. 55m. the Revd. lecturer clearly showed that a pot of beer was not
alluded to in the text. Collections were made at the close of the
service.


Watterin Places

July is th' month to gooa a spawin'; an' fowk luk forrard to it just
th' same as if they conldn't do withaat it. Th' fact is aw hardly dar
say owt agean it, for awm fond ov a bit ov a off mysen; but then

varry near like th' door ov a mahogany shut-up-bed, an' up to th'
elbows i' Miln greease too. Aw thowt if ony body wanted to pick a
lass for a wife they shouldn't goa to a spawin' spot. For all that,
awve nowt to say agean it--one body's as mich reight to goa an get
sunburnt as another; but they mud as weel spaik truth, an' not allus
say it's for th' gooid o' ther health, when all th' time it's just for
a bit ov a spree. Aw could give some gooid advice to ony body at
thinks o' gooin. Tak varry little brass, an' let it be i' your
pocket, net i' yor face. Th' less yo have an' th' less yo'll spend.
Dooant buy patent booits to walk o' th' sand in. If you're anxious to
ride in a cock booat, dooant be particler to wear white trowsers. If
