Meaner.l for God than the Devil.

IA gentleman of wealth, who had
been much addicted to frolic and
sports, was converted and became a
member of one of our congregations.
This congregation had adopted the
dd Udtorens principle, as means of
defraying. its expenses. In a few
months after this gentleman's CONVEX
sion, the deacons waited on him in
order to make their assessment; and
knowing that he was rich, and that
his proportion of the expenses would
amount to pretty handsome sum,
they feared that he. would not be
willing to bear it, and their demand
might give him serious offence. and
prove an injury to him.. Hence they
approached their business with some
trepidation and great caution At first
he was at loss to ascertain the
reasons of their apparent difidence.
The deacons percieving this, became,
of course, more explicit. The gen
tleman was surprised. What on
earth, said he, do you mean? Did
you suppose that | would be unwilling
to pay my full proportion? When I
was man of the world and united
with others in scheme of pleasure, I
would have deemed myself mean
man had | not paid the full proportion
of the expense. Go to the assessors
book and put me down for my full
proportion of the expenses Of the
church. Do you think that / intend
to be nae0ner man now, since / have
become a servant of God, than was
when servant Of the devil?" .
