old food, stale food, secondhand food,

DESTROYING His Usefulness

saws the Hartford CournM, recently met
Hartford divine when the following
conversation cnSucd:
II was sorry to hear that Brother
Blank had resigned. have always
liked him. He is regarded rs a very
able man, isn't he"
"W-c-l-l, yes lhesitatingl. "Oh,
yes; he's an able man."
"But he's tirst-rate preacher, isn't
he?"
well, yes; he's a very good
preacher
"And he is a man of the highest
Christian character; SO we have always
thought here
"W-c-l-l, yes, Oh, yes, he's good
Christian"
But there must be something the
matter, deacon. Why do you hesitate
SO, and say, W-e-l-lv-e-s'? Has Brother
Blank been guilty OF anything wrong?
| know of church that | think he Is
inst the man for. and mean to recon-
mend him very highly. Have you any
reason to suppose that he would not
give satisfaction ?"
"Wrll, doctor, Mr.. Blank is all you
say about him, but I'm afraid he's not
calculated to make successful pastor in
the country
"Why not deacon? You surprise me
very much.'
"Well, will tell you one reason. Mr..
Blank lived next 10 a neighbor whose
hens and chickens troubled him very
much by digging up his garden. He
spoke about it several times, but it did
no good; those fowls kept in his garden
all the time. And what do YOU think
he did? Instead OF shooting some OF
them or building high fence around
his garden, he came here to Hartford
and bought the best eame-cock he could
find, took HIM home and turned him
loose in the garden. The next day that
ncigbor heard commotion among his
poultry, and when he looked over the
fence there were all his hens and chick
ems living in windows, and that game
cock was walking over the bodies and
Growing. Now YOU can't say that was
unchristian conduct, but it was certainly
calculated to destroy Mr.. Blanks use
