"SAY AMEN TO THAT, BRoTHEn." I'm the
south of New Jersey, some years ago, there
travelled over some of the hardest counties, a
good, faithful, hard-working brother, named
James Moore, or Jimmy Moore, as he was
familliarly called He was devoted to the
itinerancy. A true, loyal Methodist, plain,
pointed and sharp in all his preachings and
exhortations.
He had been laboring year on one of his
circuits, and before leaving for his field, he
gave his people, who dearly loved him, his
farewell sermon.
At its close, he said: "My dear brethren,
this is my last address to you. am going
from you, and you may never hear the voice
of James Moore again"
"Amen p came loudly from the seat before
him.
He looked at the man with little surprise,
but thinking it was mistake, went on.
"My days on earth will soon be numbered.
I am an old man, and you may not only never
hear the voice of James Moore, but never see
his face again.
"Amenw was shouted from the seat more
vigorously than before.
There was no mistaking the design now.
The preacher looked at the mamie knew
him to be a hard, grinding man-stingy and
merciless to the poor.
He continued his address-"May the Lord
bless all of you who have done your duty,
who have honored him with you substance,
who have been kind to the poor, and"
Pausing and looking the intruder straight
in the eyes, and pointing to him with his
finger
