Perhaps one of tho ns-itest reproofs ever delivored fro;-i the pulpit lo r.n inattenthe (ongregaticn was i.hnt of Dr. South One day when he waa preacliiug before the second Charlo". and his court he di.covorcd that the effect of his discourse had been to hypnotize his hearers into a deep shimber - a ciiscovery sufflcient to annoy the mildest of roen. For a moment he was siler : and. then In hia natural voice, callfid upon Lord Laudenlale threo times. When tht Individual stood up South addressed him In the followlng speech: "My lord, I am sorry to lnterrupt your repose, bat I must beg of you that you wtll not snore quite so loud, lest you awaken his majesty." Apparently the l;ing bore the doctor np ill-will, tor on another occasion, when South'a utterances had made him buret out laughlng in church, he turaed to South's patrón, Lord Rochester, and said, "Oddsfish, lord, your chapista must be a bishop; thcrefore put nie in miüd of him at thfi nxt deat.h."
