4 "S{raD"eo Preacher.


His name Strange. Many will think his
conduct strange also. He Jealous
preacher and sweet singer. Nothing gave him
so much pleasure as to 60 about the country
preaching and singing. 4 benevolent gentle
man, well off in worldly gear desiring to make
him aud his family comfortable III their decllninG
wears generously presented him ttledeed for
three hundred and twenty acres of land.
Strange accepted the donation with thankful
ness, and went on his way, preaching and
singing as he went But after few months
he returned and requested his generous friend
to take the ttle-siced. Surprised at the request,
tie gentleman inquired:
is there any flaw in it?:'
''Not the SliwitcSt."
'Is not the land good?'
''Frst rate"
''Is'nt it healthy"
''Eonc more So"
"Why, tlen do you wish me to take it back?
It will be comfortable home for you.when you
grow old, and something for your wife and
children, if YOU should be taken away"
"Why I'll tell you. Ever since I've lost my
enjoyment in singing. l can't sing my favor:to
HYMN will, good conscience any longer"
What is that?'
.:This:
NO foot OF land 90 possess,
No cottage in the wilderness,

81 dwell awhile in tents below,
Or gladly wander to and fro
Till my Canaan gain.
Ionder's my house an portion fair,
My treasure and my heart arc there,
And my abiding hon,e!'
s'There!" said Strange. "I'd rather sing thai;
hymn than own America I'll trust the Lord
to take care of my wife and children"
He continued singing and preaching, and
prca ching and singing; and the Lord, said the
lecturer. did take care of him. and his children
after him.

\ TEST OF CnrIsrIANIrY-A Christian gen
tlcmen had occasion to travel through newly
and thnly settled part Of of the western coun-
try; his companion was Il man of intelligence
but infidel principles, who was fond of discus
sion, and tried to beguile the way by urging ar
guments against the Truths of the Christian
religion. The thnv settled section of the coun-
try through which they were passing was in
habitcd by people of bad reputation, and it had
been rumored that travellers had suffered fatal
violence from them when they were within their
power.

of whom they could not entertain serious
fear. On one occasion, as the evening closed
in they sought lodging place in log cabin
far remote from other habitations. They an
ticpatcd but little comfort and were induced to
believe that it would be measure of safety to
watch alternately through the night.
AS they were about to retire to their bed,
their host, whose exterior had excited their dis
trust proceeded to Il shelf, took down an old
and much worn Bible, and informing his visit
ors that it his custom to worship God in
his family he read and prayed i'll SO simple a
manner to secure the esteem of the travel
lers They retired to rest, slept soundiy, and
| thought no more of alternate watching.
In the morning the Christian requested his
infidel companion to say whether the religious
exercises of the proceeding evening had not dis
PEELED every particle OF distrust OF their hosts
character and had not enabled him to close his
eyes III the most confident security.
He was evidently embarrassed by the qncs-
ton; but at last he candidly acknowledged that
the sight of the Bible had secured him a sound
nights rest Here was testimony extorted
from an infitel in favor of the influence of re-
ligion which he skcptically assailed. lie could

in the habit of bending his knee before God.
