Preaching the Gospel.

DR.. Sprague tells the following anecdote of an
evangelical clergyman of the English church, named
Jones. The story was given him by the Rev. George
Burder.
Mr. Jones had college classmate, who entered
the ministry at the same time with himself but was
mere man Of the world, and knew little and cared
nothing of the true gospel. This man, conversing
one day with Mr. Jones, said 10 him, half jocosely
and half seriously:
Why is it that you popular preacher
and so few come 10 hear me- when every body know
that at the University was considered greatly your
superior"
preach the Gospel
" The Gospel 2" said The other; /" so do Away
every text preach upon is from Matthew Mark
| Luke or John"
Mr.; Jones said, ".you may do that, and yet neve
preach Jesus Christ"
"Wel." said the other, ''lend me one of your er
mons. and see what effect it will have"
| He actually did lend him one, and he preached i
as he had engaged to do, and as he was coming ou
of the church at the close OF the service he was &C
cosed by man; who, in listening 10 the borrowed
DISCOURSE had been thrown into state of anxiety il
respect to his salvation.
| Says the minister somewhat confused BY tn
strange result of his preaching" Wait, wait, sa,
nothing about it till the people have gone out"
! Alter the congregation had retired, the anxious in
quirer began further to explain himself when tn
clergyman interrupted him b saying
| But what is the matter with you? see no 90
casion for making yourself so unhappy"
"Matter," replied he, why your preaching ha
made me feel like condemned criminal, and I fea
there is no mercy for me-
"We really" said the minister, &c am yer,
sorry that have wounded your feeIings-I had NJ
intention of doing it bu, since you have got int
this uncomfortable state, advise you TO 60 and SCI
