IRON the history OF Samuel Bowlcs,

tionaI Baptist reads lesson ofencourage-
ment to aspiring people in small towns
We are all liable to great error on this
point. W. think that a small place
means as uall field. The country physi-
clan wants to set up in the city The
pastor thinks that if he were professor
or president the field would he larger.
The pastor ofn thriving rurat church
pants to be in larger field, and SO he
aspires to some struggling interest, some
unsubstantial scheme, some (shal we say)
crazy enterprise in the city or the suburbs,
because he will be a ''city pastor"
We forget that Extraordinary crcun-
stances exceptecD each man has the same
width of horizon, and the field is what
we make it. We forget that it is rarely
wise to exchange certain success for an
uncertain. -.
II DR.. Emmons had left Franklin and
gone to Boston, or anywhere else, he
would have erred. DR.. Todd was

circulated all the world over But in
Philadelphia he failed. DR.. Payson
wisely resisted all efforts to tempt him
from his pursuit at Portland. DIR. Welch
made the one mistake Of his life when lie
sought a larger field by going from
Albany to Brooklyn,
Remember the smallest village cannot
