inconsistency

A clergyman was residing in the family Of
church member who was in the habit Of
finding fault with the victuals or cooking
at almost every meal. After some days
had elapsed, the professor. as he frequent
!ly did, asked the minister to give thanks
before dinner. 81 think, said the min
lister, .sthat shall not give thanks at your
table any more" The man looked SUR
.prised, and said grace himself. Towards
the close Of the repast he asked the reason
Of the minister's seemingly strange con.
duct, who replied thus: 81 have noticed
that you are in the practice offinding fault
with your victuals. much to the annoyance
Of your wife, and it seems to me inconsist-
ent, nay insulting to God, to give thanks
for food and then be displeased with it
My advice 70 you is. eat your dinner with.

ner, thank God for it then.n Il is need.
less to say, that the habit Of fault finding
was broken off, and the professor became
more consistent Christian.

The Preacher and the Robbers.

A Methodist preacher many years ago
was iourneying to village where be was
TO dispense the word of life, according to
the usual routine of his duty, and was stop
ped on his way by three robbers. One of
them seized his reins, another presented a
pistol and demanded his money; the third
was mere looker-on.
The grave and devout man looked each
gravity and seriousness, said" Friends,
did you pray TO God before you left home?
did you ask God to bless you in your un-
dertakings to-day?"
The question startled them for a moment.
Recovering themselves. one said-sWe
have no time for answering such questions;
we want your money"

few shillings was all he had to give.
.sHave you watch?"
ssYes."
"WeIl, then give it to u.s."
In taking the watch from his pocket, his
saddle-bags were displayed.
ssWhat have you here?" was the ques-
lion again.

but religious books, because have a pair

to throw it off his shoulders, at the same
time asking-"Will you have my great
coat?"
"No," was the reply; "You are a gen

He then addressed them as follows:-"l

Waking up the Hearers.

AS the warm weather is upon us, and
some good people may, more even than
heretofore, be disposed to take their slum-
ber-naps in church, it will not be amiss
to remind them of the opinions Of the
practice heretofore held by good men, and
Of the methods which have been adopted
TO get rid of the evil.
One OF the old divines said: "He that
sleeps in the place of worship is no better
Tor the time than a corpse, at whose funer-
al the minister is preaching" And an
other of that worthy fraternity remarks,
''that sleepers in religious assemblies are
public nuisances, and ought to be driven
out from the place they SO much Disgrace"
Several Centuries ago, old Bishop Ayl-
mer, seeing his congregation pretty gener-
ally asleep, took his Hebrew Bible from
his pocket, and read chapter. which
reused attention, when the old minister
sharply rebuked them for sleeping when
they might have understood him, and lis
tening when they knew not word he
said.
OF the witty Dr. South, tits said, that
preaching before King Charles he saw
that po,entate asleep. he stopped short
and in a loud and altered tone of voice,
three tiues called out .sLord Landerdale;"
his lordship stood up and looked at the
preacher, who addressed him With great
composure, "My Lord. | am sorry to in
terrupt your repose, but must beg of you
not to snore SO loud, lest you should wake
the king
A clergyman at Exeter, in England,
named Nicoll, once saw several aldermen
asleep, and sal down. i'he silence ofthe
hearers, woke the worshipiul magistrates.
and they stood up. The clergyman then
rose and said, 's'The sermon.is not yet
finished, and now you are awake, | hope
you will'hearken more diligeItly."
Many years ago, we heard an eccentric
Baptist minister crying out in sleeping
congregation, particularly addressing one
of his members: "Brother Thomas Smith,
| if you don't wake up, shall cali you out
by nams." There was no more sleeping
in that house on that day.
ADdrew Fuller, one Sabbath afternoon,
| saw the people during the singing OF the
hymn beforettie sermon. composing them.
selves for comfortable nap; and taking
the Bible, he beat ii against the side Of the
pulpit, makinga q great noise. Attention
being excited. he said, 81 am often afraid
that preach you to sleep, but ii can't be
my fault to-day. for you are asleep before
have begun"
And finally, we have heard Of an old
minister in Ky, who purchased whistle.
| and when his hearers went to sleep as
usual, he emitted from it very shrin
sound.r All were awake, and all stood up
TO hear him say, You are set of smart
specimens of humanity, Amt ye," as he
slowly gazed al his wondering people;
"when | preach the gospel, you 60 10
sleep; when | play the fool, you are awake
and look like rush of hornets with pole
in their nest.'
