AGooD SERMoN.-We have heard q
stosp Of thselder Doctor Beecher, now
of Cincinnati. that is said to be true. and
is worth putting into types, as illustra.
ting the truth that we never can tell
wat may result from an apparently
very insignificant action. The doctor
once engaged to preach for a country
minister, on exchange. and the Sabbath
proved to be one excessively stormy, cold,
and uncomfortable. 1t was in mid WIN
ter. and the snow was piled in heaps all
along in the roads, so as to make the
passage very difficult. Still the minister
urged his horse through the drifts. till
he reached the church, put the animal
into a shed, and then went in. AS ye:
there was no person in the house, after
looking about. the old gentleman, then
young, took his sea. in the pulpit. Soon
the door opened, and single individual
walked up the aisle, looked about. and
took his seat. The hour came for com.
mencing the service, but no more hearers.
Whether to preach to such an audience
or not was now the question-and it was
one that Lyman B eecher was not long in
deciding. He felt that he had du,y to
perform. and he had no right to refuse
it, because only one man could reap the
benef, of it;and accordingly went through
all the services. praying, singing, preach
ing, and the benediction, with only one
hearer. And when all was over, he
nastened down to speak to his consrega-
,ion,' but he had departed.
A circumstance so rare was referred to
occasionally. but twenty years after. it
was brought to the doctors mind quite
strangely. Travelling somewhere in
Ohio. the doctor alighted from q stage
one day, in pleasant village, when
gentleman stepped up and spoke to him.
