July 6, 1899

From Bob Lyon's book, Touring the Past, A guide to Old mines, ghost towns and historic sites of North Hasting.  Quoted from Bancroft Times.
    A woman evangelist in an address the other day said: 'There is a man in this house who is untrue to his wife.  I am going to throw this hymn book at him.'  She raised the book as if she was going to thrown it, and every man but one ducked his head to avoid the book.  Then she blistered the dodgers and lauded the one true man.  It was afterwards learned that he was deaf and dumb.
