PREACHING EXTRAORDINARY
"YOur house is left unto you desoIate."
Todd's chapel, the NJ. E. church near Mar.
shyhope bridge in this county, has been in a
very dllapidated condition. Not long since on
very disagreeable week day when no one was
about two Methodist preachers riding by stop
ped aad having examined the condition of the
Old rlckety church one of them went into the
pulpit and preached a sermon from this text:
" 1 our mouse Is lett unto you desoate" The
Purport OF the sermon was that the house was
not ht to worship in and the people must build
a new one. This sermon was not preached in
the usual way. 1t was written with pencil
ana placed IN the bible. When the good peo
pie OF Iodd's Chapel found it they said that's
brother Manship, and on making inquiry thew
found that Bro. Manship had been aIo1o m.
road a short time before. '.-'e '1e
The most pleasing part of this little incident
IS that the people went Immediately 10 work
and are new constructing a beautiful and taste
ful church which when completed will be an
ornament 10 the neighborhood Bro. Mansbin
