SMITH’S ‘FOOL SERMONS’ At the Central Presbyterlan Church on West Fifty-seventh street, the pastor, Rev, W. Merle Smith, has been deliver- ing « series of sermons on the subject, “Fools of the Bible.” These discourses have aroused widespread interest in the congregation, but they have also caused a young Sunday school teacher no end of ombarrassment. Lmat Sunday this teacher was called upon to announce, before the Sunday School closed, that the series of ser- mons would be continued mext week. Arising ‘with the utmost asfurance, he "| ead: “Tt is my duty to fnfonm you that on next Sunday Dr. Smith will continue his fool sermons on the Bible."
