Forgot to Search the Scriptures.

From the New York Tribune.
The Emperor Of Russia, when upon tour of
inspection in the provinces, passed the night
in the simple hut of a toll-taker. Before retir-
ing he was pleased, as the head of the church,
to see the old man take up his Bible and read a
chapter. "Do you read often, my son?" he
asked. Yes, your majesty. every day." How
much of the Bible have you read, my son?''
During the past year the Old Testament and
part OF Matthew, your majesty" Thinking to
reward him the car placed 500 roubles between
the leaves of the book OF Mark on the following
morning, unknown to the toll-keeper, whom
he babe farewell. Several months passed away
and the emperor returned, upon a second tour,
to the toll-taker's hut. Taking the Bible in
his hands he was surprised to find the 500
roubles intact. Again interrogating the toll
keeper as to his diligence in reading he re-
ceived an affirmative answer and the statement
that he had finished the chapters Of Luke.
Lying, my son, is a great sim" replied his
majesty; give me the Bible till see." Open
ing the book he pointed to the money, which
the man had not seen. "Thou hast not sought
the kingdom of God, my son. As punishment
thou shalt lose thy earthly reward" And he
placed the roubles in his pocket to distribute
afterward among the neighboring poor.
