The VIRGINIA JUDGE AND THE
DucKs-"1 read once of "a Judge" said Mr.
Moody In recent sermon who was all the
time talking to an old slave about religion, and
one day he says to his slave, Now, says he
.Sambo, how is it that you are all the time talk
ing about the conflicts that you have with the
devil? don't have any, and l think my life
is better than yours, because l am at peace with
myself; | don't have any trouble or any con-
ficts, but you are all the time talking about CON
hlcts; sometimes you say that you have to ask
the Lord to forgive you, and you try to get
strength for victory the next time. Now SAYS
he, don't know any thing about that, and l
get on. Well, the poor man couldn't answer
the Judge. They went on for some distance and
the Judge who was very fond of hunting always
carried his gun with him, and he came to a
pond OF water and saw some ducks, and he got
out his gun and he blazed away and killed one
duck and wounded another He didn't saw anv
thing about the dead duck, but he says to the
slave, jump, into the water and get the wound
ed duck, and don't let it get away So the
slave rushed into the water and got the wound
ed duck and brought it out, and after he got the
wounded duck, now, says the Judge 60 and
get the dead one. So they put the two ducks
In the wagon and started on, and after going a
while, the colored man says Judge, think /
can answer your question now :; / think Iun-
understand it. Says he, Do You remember
when you killed that duck you didn't send me
after the dead one frst2' The Judge says, mo;
because you could get that out any time; it was
one Is the one you want to secure Well said
the slave, that's Just the difference; you are
dead in sin; and the devil has got you and lets
you alone; he, don't trouble you but l am try
ing to get away from him, and that's why 1
