At Church in Shirt Sleeves.
At a chapel in Birmingham, Eng., recently, the remarkable scene was witnessed of a large section of the congregation sitting throughout the service in their shirt sleeves. Over 500 of them had met at a certain spot before the service and marched to the chapel headed by a brass band; but on the way they were caught in a thunder storm and drenched to the skin.
On their arrival at the chapel most of them had taken off their coats and hung them to dry over rail at the end of the church.
