ATTEMPT TO "FoRcE VoTE."-Some years
ago, celebrated Methodist minister and re.
vivalist, well known for his eloquence and
zeal in converting souls, was preaching IN
Louisville. The feeling had got pretty well
up, and one night, after . very powerful
sermon. he came down from the pulpit for
the purpose Of receiving the mournsrs, while
the good old hymn Of
"Caraan, Oh Canaan, I'm bound for the land Of
Canaan"
was struck up and chimed ia By hundreds
of voices. The hymn was concluded, bur
there were no penitents at the altar. In vain
he exhorted-his words and appeals fell
upon the ears of his listeners withvu; ex-
citing any emotion. At length he conc!ud
ed to makea bold stroke and follow it up
with test, and resuming the pulpit, after
few words of exhortation he sulemnly an
nounced that he would put question, upon
which he expected all to vote in view Of the
estimation they placed upon their souls
With finger raised most Significantly, and
in most sole manner, he announced
"All those in favor Of Christ will please rise
to their feet" Only some eight or ten res
ponded to the announcement; and while the
minister was watching intensely for others to
signify their position by rising, worthy
member who was on his feet, interfered and
suggested that 1.-THE reason might be that the
true disciples were too modest to vote" At
this juncture loud voice was heard in tho
gallery, Il say, brother Il. it's no use
talking or trying to force this vote-this
congregation is the devil by at least twenty
