as the proprietors could do without his
subscription, but rather than subscriba
again for it he adopted the policv of
reading his neighbor's paper. One dav
a gentleman who understood the sit,ia.

Preaching the Gospel.

1t is painful to sit in Il prOmiscuOuS
asSemhIage of fashionable people, and
listen to the discussion on the merits
of the new preacher. Need | draw
the picture? Can you not fancy each
signing maid, with unprolling eyes,
giving her opinion for, or against
and so on up, through the long list of
those who must pay the preacher ?"
When think of true minister, /
think ola preacher of the gospel. And
when think of the gospel and of its
reception by the children of men,
call to mind the saying of the old
Clergyman who was called upon, one
evening, to extempOrile religious
address on board of Hudson River
steamer, that had been belated by the
breaking of a piece of machinery be-
tween Albany and New York.
The aged divine remarked that he
probably had men of all religious
sects and opinions before him, "but,"
said he, II have lived long enough to
trust implicitly in my Heavenly
Father. The wandering child who
comes to Him truly repentant. and
eager To find the right, will not he
cast out There will be ne question
as to the sect that child knew in life.
The old grain-merchant of the me.
tropoliS, when a cargo of wheat comes
to band, is not particular to ask
through what channel it reached him;
he will only seek to know Is ii good?
And so, my friends, am content to
believe it will he with the Great
Judge on the other side !"
Rowland Hill once made q capital
remark upon the fashionable method
of criticising sermons. Said he,-
"SuppOsing you were attending to
hear a will read where you expected
legacy to be left you, -cr, at least,
where you had a material interest in
the document. Would you employ
your time while it was being read in
criticising the manner in which the
lawyer read it? No, you would not !;
you would he giving anxious ear to
hear ifanything had been left for you.
and how much it was. That is the
way in which l would advise you to
hear the gospel"
Hill was preaching, orce upon a
time, on the subject of debt. when a
man in the audience, in low tone,
wondered if he-the preacher-was
punctuaI always in paying his debts.
The minister heard him, and stopped
in the midst of Il sentence, and looked
! him in the face.
my very good FRIEND" he said. II
think | never paid debt in my life,-
saving only the debt mentioned Ivy
Saint Paul, in my text-'Owe no man
anything, but to love one another
AS for any other debt but that of love,
l never in my life bought thing for
which / could not, and did not, pay
on the spot"
