that, in the absence of his wife, he should

WOMEN VS.. OxBE.-A certain clergy.
man once addressing his audience in The
southern part of New Jersey, had Coca
sion to quote Luke XIV, 1870: "A cer.
tain man made great supper, and bsde
many, and sent his servant at sumner tims,
to say to them that were hidden. sCome'
for all things arenow read7.' And then
they all with one consent began to make
excuse. The first said unto him, Il have
bought piece of ground, and 1 must
needs go and see it; | pray thee have me
excused. And another said: Il have
bought tive yoke of oxen, and 1 20 to
prove them; / pray thee have me excused
and another said, Il have married wife;
and therefore cannot come" Nov"
said the venerable clergyman, "you see
the man that had bought the land merely
wished to be excused. The man that
had bought five yoke of oxen merely
wished to be excused; but the man that
had married the wife said positively
therefore, for this reason) I cannot come,
So you see, my hearers. that q woman
can draw q man further from God than
five yoke of oxen"
