THERE is well-worn stock anecdote about
colored man, very pious person, who,
hearing that the great Whitefield was to
preach at a campmeeting, went thither for
the purpose of hearing him. On arriving he
found preacher exhorting lervently and, as
suming that he was listening to Whitefeld,
he threw himself into convulsions and rolled
on the earth much to the detriment of his
garments, and the general Disagreement OF
his person, for the purpose of showing proper
appreciation of the occasion. His disgust
was great on learning that the speaker was
not Whitefeld and, as he wended his way
mournfully home, the burden of his lamenta-
ton was that he chad rolled in the dirt and
hadn't heard Whitefeld." The moral Of this
story lies in the application Of 1t.
