When Charles Haddon Bourgeon was a young preacher at Cambridge, the mayor of the town took him publicly to task for havihg eaid that if a thief went to Heaven without a change of nature he would go around picking the pockets of. the angels.

The mayor declared that the angels 8ay, boys: How about Hardy'a Woods in' the early daya say, away bad in the eariy '0s? Have you forgotten those good old days when we used to go hunting there or cotton-tail, quail and wild blackberries? Did wet get all we wanted? Well, I guess yes, and then some. As i remember the woods, they began at Sixth and Market streets, then north to about Fourteenth street, then west, say to Linden street, and then south to Fourth street. At that time there were no open streets through the woods, or anywhere west of Market street. It was all woods, and cow paths. Some of these paths would slop at a big oak tree and then you would have to try another path and maybe get lout and have a time of it to find your way out I know that some of you could tell a good story or two about the Woods.

Now, back to Hardy's Woods You remember the camp meetings they used to have in the woods, and the good time6 we had at these meetings. Did we sing the hymns with them Why, of course we did, and how hiud and enthusiastic we were! Then the preacher would say. "My sisters and brothers, not so loud; the lxrd can hear you all right, as he is not deaf or hard of hearing." Then at the end of the meeting they would take a lot of converts down to Lake Meriitt and baptize them.

Well, here was some more fun for us, to watch them get a ducking in the lake and come up with a mouthful of salt water and spit and cough and say "Amen."

And then he said: "So I would say that if a thief got among the angels wltnout having his nature changed he would try to steal the feathers out of their wings." One day when Spurgeon came late to a church meeting a pompous deacon' thought silently to rebuke him by meeting him with his watch held out as Hpurgeon hurried into the meeting.

As if quite unconscious of the implied rebuke, Spurgeon walked up to the deacon and took the watch In his hand. He examined it carefully, examine the. books on the top shelves and was confronted by such titles as "Pains and Aches by Keltham, "Tdcmsn on Cleanliness," "John Puil on "The Composition of Milk by A.
