How ABOUT ELIJAH, MISTER PA Metho
dist minister was on his travels through the
west of Illinois twenty years ago. Illinois was
wild place then. He travelled twenty miles
one day before coming to farm house. Bu
there he was received with hospitality. Chick
en- pot-pie and corn dodgers composed his sup
per; bur to hungIy man these are as good
as a truff1ed turkey. A fine old grand mother
OF the house was most profuse in her hospitali
ty. She pressed the pot-pie on the holy mans
plate until he could eat no more. And then
when the family was gathered around the great
log chimney and its blazing fire, the venerable
dame opened her mouth and spake:
''Ah, well day it's grand comfort tc
have minister of the gospel in these parts. =
It's twenty years agone now since | seen one o
'em. I've been readin' O. my Bible all thai
tme and waitn to see minister to ak him
question about -sumthin / don't rightly un
derstand.
Madam" answered the cautious minister
81 am really so tired with my long ride that
could not enter into serious question till
have slept; but it you will ask me to morrow
morning before l set out will answer it to the
best of my ability" ID s.
The old lady expressed herself satisfied, ant
the cunning minister secured soft couch fo
the night. The next morning grandma wa;
up early, and Gard at work frying HapJackS I0l
the minister breakfast This last being dis
patched, the old lady was still in nervous
fdget about her question while the old man
horse was saddled and brought to the door.
After adjusting his saddle bags and shaking
hands with all the family, he mounted hi
horse, and turning to her asked:
And now, madam, what is your question: ?
"Waal minister" said he, Yer know how
it seq in the Bible, that arter Elisha was made
prophet the heavens opened, and Elijah wa
taken up to heaven in chariot and horses O
fire. It's better nor twenty years since | seet
that ere In the Bible, and L We puzzled over i
ever since; an there amt soul roun' thes
diggins knows any more nor l. But you re
minister of the gospel, and ought to know al
them things. Now what want to know is this
Did the Lord take up Elijah right slick to heav
en-. or didn't he go kinder slantendic' lar ?'s
History has not recorded the minister's re
| ply.
