Faith in Miracles.

In GAINESVILLE, Ohio, there are many eolored
persons who live by barbering and other light
work. They are for the most part an orderly
and quiet people, many of them religious, hav-
ing church of their own, and an ebony min
lister, of all of which they are justly proud.-
One cold evening in the time of great re-
vival in the church, this ebony cxpounder was
delivering powerful appeal on ''faith," the
groans aud sobs of his hearers giving token of
its effect upon their impossible natures. The
tears stood upon his dark cheeks, his voice
quivered like distant thunder, while he en-
phasized his words by vigorous blows upon the
table. In the midst of all this, the stove,
agitated by his jarring blows, rolled over on
the floor. Brother Lewis, the high man Of
the church, had located himself near the COM
forter of shins. He stood irresolute, when
the voice of his minister came to him laden
with faith "Pick up de stobe, Brudder
Lewis-pick up de stobe; de Lord won't let
it burn your Brother Lewis mind was filled
up with miracles of faith he had heard that
evening, so he seized the hot stove, but dropped
it instantly, and turning his reproachful eyes
to the disciple of faith, replied, DE debble he
won't"
