Nor ENOUGH OF CHRIST IN THE SERMON -
minister In one Of our large cities had pre-
pared and preached, as he supposed, a most
convincing sermon for the special benefit of an
inaueniill member Of his cong yation, who
was well known to be of an infidel turn OF
mind.
The sinner listened unmoved TO the we'll
turned sentences and the earnest appeals /; his
heart was unaffected. On his return from
church he saw tear trembling In the eye of
his little daughter, whom he tenderly loyed and
he inquired the cause. The child Informed
him that she was thinking of What her Sabbath
school teacher had told her OF Jesus Christ.
"And what did she tell you of Jesus Christ,
my child?"
"Why, she said he came down from heaven
and died for me !" and In o moment the tears
gushed from eyes which had looked upon tho
beauties Of only seven summers, as In the sim
pliclty Of childhood she added, "Father, should
not love One who has loved me SOP"
The proud heart of tho in6dsi was touehsd.-
What the eloquent plea of his minister could
not accomplish, the tender sentence of his child
had done, and he retired TO give vent to his own
feelings in a silent but penitent prayer. That
evening found him at the praying circle, where
with brokenness OF spirit, he asked the prayers
of Gods people. When he came to relate his
Christian experience, he gave this Incident, and
closed his narration by saying, "Under God I
owe my conversion to a little child, who first
convinced me by her artless simplicity that
ought to love One who had so loved me,n
The minister, on returning from this meet
ing, took his sermon and read 1t over carefully,
and said to his family and to himself: "Tbere

long before our rich neighbor, Mrs., found

dozen chairs were added to our stock. They

"Ths tables are turned with Mrs.-- and

All now the secret was out. IL was tho In

there, there are little ivory bu:tons In the wall
upon which you put your finger. They COM

friend, Il will put to a wrinkle-keep your fin
ger on the button. II you only just put it On 1t
rugs the bell but If you keep yolr finger on,
the bell will keep ringing down stairs We'll, i
. do 30; but even then tue waiter did not come.
AT length my friend said, ave have a couple
OF bedrooms here; will go into Que, and your
friend can 60 into the other; let us ring all three
bells, and then we shall fstch up all the walters
In tho hotel" So we put our fingers on the
three buttons, and kept the III there, and war.

planned that as the ringing Of one bell did not
do, we thought We would ring all three, and
found 1t capital plan; but IL they would only
come more quickly the next time, We would
do II no more. Every time man prays he
rings the great bell in heaven. II TWO OF you
agree as touching anything concerning the
Kingdom, IL shall be done unto you. There Il
