ANSWER TO A CALL"

The following answer substantlantalIy
with names omitted, was returned to a
call extended as a Home Missionary
Agent to a young minister to settle" in
| the interior of one of the Western States
DEAR BROTHER ALLOW me to grouT
few objections against going To-
speak by the card
II. You know that state is considered
the worst in the Union, that country the
worst IN the state, that town the worst il
! country, and that neighberhood has the
worst set of mer in town. One man there
is 'such son of Belial that man can
not speaAto him." Q Sam. 25: 17.)-
He is considered, however, the best man
in town. The prophet Samuel had also
the advantage in his day in that NabaI
had good wife; but this mans wife is
worse than himself. "The Lord also
smote Nabal that he died." but this man
and his wife are still alive. You are right
when you call it "ralher a tough country,
but the granlest kind Of mission field. -
''2. The mud Is from three to five feet
deep, an aluvial deposit of that depth ly
ing upon suhstratuL of clay impervious
to water. This under stream of CLAW, how
ever, is the on ly salvation Of the couptry,
preventing from sinking and sinking below
it. All travelling done on horseback but
my horse is not long-leggcd enough to
touch the under stratum. The tradition is,
that when the Creator finished cementing
the world, He threw an extra hodfuI OF
NOR ar down in this country.

of that sixteen miles swamp alive, and
tuey were shaken out by the chills.
-. The inhabitants are not as loving as
cooling doves. The last commandment,
"that ye love another" probably has not
reached them, as they 1--we so far IN land.
Inde, d it is the Kilkenny cats over
again. Yon know the cats fought all
night. when nothing could be found but a
clou'i of fur at the tip of NorvaI's tail. So

rested over this district a score of years.
Bobtails of no account.
SO. That salary of $500 (maximnm)
must be a mistake, as that is a larger sum
OF money than was ever heard of in the
country.
There is one advantage, however, to
be mentioned in this connection. Pastors
in this disric. have generally been Settled
for life. The longevity, howeye", lisa not
been remarkable.
"AI things considered, | think I'd better
decline the call, hopl"g that the successful
candidate may make his ''will' before he
Settles" He might get his life insured

abandoned that part of the country
