ANEcDorE. The following anecdote is re-
lated in the Evangelical Magazine of Nov 81
An African preacher, in speaking FROM what
is man profted if he gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul" mentioned among 9TH
er things, that many lost their souls by being
too charitable! Seeing the congregation aston
ished beyond measure at his saying, he en-
Phaticolly repeated it; and then proceeded to
explain his meaning. Many people, said he,
attend meeting, hear the sermon, and when it
is over, they proceed to divide it Ilt among the
congregation. This part was for that man
that part for that woman such denunciations
were for such persons-those threats for you
sinners; and so, continued the shrewd Afri-
can, they gtoe a'eay the wholc sermon, and
keep none for themselves =
