journeying to a village where he was to dispense
the word of life, according to the usual routine
Of his duty, and was stopped on his way by
three robbers. One of them seized his bride
reins, another presented a pistol and demanded
his money; the third was mere locker on.
The grave and devout man looked each and
all Of them in the face, and with great gravity
and seriousness said, "Friends, did you pray to
God before you left home? did YOU ask God to
bless you in your undertakings to- day?"
The question startled them for 4 moment
Recovering themselves one sad ave have no

reply; "but what little money l have, shall be

A few shillings was all he had to give.
"1iave you watch:

"Well, then, give it to us"
In taking his watch from his pocket, his sad
dle-bags were displayed.
"What have you here!" was the question
again.
