Here is an anecdote told by one min
lister about another: A certain presid
ing elder, who was noted for being
seldom up to time seldom very ami
mated, and seldom very brief, once kept
a congregation waiting for a long time
for his appearance, and when at last be
did come preached them prosy sermon
of unusual length on the text Feed
my lambs. He had not yet finished
when the original old minister known as
" Camp Meeting John" rose from a seat
in the congregation, and said: Brother,
/ have had some experience in raising
lambs myself, and / have found that the
following rules are absolutely essential
10 successful raising: First, give them
their food in season; second, give them
little at a time; and third, give 1T to
them warm.
