A venerable old gentleman, a member of
Bethesda Church, North Carolina, related
to me this incident in the life Of one of our
ministers in the olden time
DR.. - was the minister of church in
Concord Presbytery for several years, on a
salary of $500 He received call to F,
salary $1,000. This he at first declined, but
when it vas renewed the following year he
accepted it. After staying few years in
F., he returned to his old charge. Soon
after his venture he was catechising in a
family, and, as was customary, the servants
were called in. Of an old negro man he
asked
"What is efectual calling?"
& dunno, sir, he replied.
"Oh, yes" said the minister" you have
some idea of it, What do you think it means3"
81 dunno, sir, was the answer, "cept it
is from $500 to $1,000"
The good old minister was never tempted
to leave that church again. His memory
abides fresh and green, and many rise up to
call him blessed. Country Pastor, an ". c.
Presbyterian.

about his previous history. What else
could be done for US? Do we expect in 8
revelation intended to save US in time, an
explanation of all the facts of the past
eternity? Does any man suppose We could
comprehend these things? We do not un-
derstand God; must We necessarily know
more of Satan before We believe in hi8 per-
,onality? Must We be as gods, knowing all
things, before We will consent to accept His
Word without struggling our shoulders as if
it we're almost too hard to believe? l sus-
pect there lie something wrong when men
begin to imagine there must be some fgura-
tive, mysterious or unknown method of un-
derstanding such Scripture as the temptation
of Jesus or of Eve, or the first chapter of
Job. We have any amount of Interpretation
these days; but little humility of mind.
