PETER THE HERNIT-Last Sunday morning,
says the trinity Journal, saw a man with
book in hand standing in front of his cabin door,
preaching the gospel to three other men who sat
on bench before their door, some three hundred
yards from the preacher. And he cried with a
loud voice, Repent We, for the kingdom eff hea-
ven is at hand " The scene was one of peace
and beauty All about their cabin were foods Of
sunshine a big dog lay under tree shade cat
sat lazily on projecting roof-pole, and pot was
boiling in an outdoor fireplace, and suspended by
two forked sticks and cross-pole. There was no
sound Of Sabbath-breaking Misunderstanding
disturbed the still air but the voice Of the eccentric
preacher, who E" cried aloud and spared not"
We know not who called him to preach we reck.
on it the still, small voice, which rouses the
Christian to prayer at day dawn, and turns his
face to the ground when he feels the presence Of
Deity about him. At any rate the
preacher was not preaching for money, for he had
no deacon to send around with the contribution
box We suppose he was sort Of heavenly guer-
rilia, harrassing Satan at the outskirts of his do
minions, and designing to pick of any struggling
sinner who might come in range OF his eeclesias-
tical battery.
