An Elder Who Did Not Reject Aid Prov

 Elder John Stephens held pastorate in tho Free Baptist church at Gardiner fortJ-odd years ago. Nature, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, had dealt gen ( .ously with Elder John. His big heart '. $ incased in an iron frame of mann Eoth proportions. Remarkable alike for sincere piety and genuine humor, the good man so tempered his teachings as to make them acceptable to saint and sinner. Riding one day along the road to West Gardiner he overlook an OK team that was stuck i2 the mud. Tho discouraged cattle had refused to pull, and the driver, who had sworn till the air was blue, was preparing to reel off another string of oaths when the par, son stopped his horse and said: ''Try prayer, my friend. Try prayer"
 "Try it yourself" retorted the vexed teamster.
 "I'll do it, said Elder John, and dropped on his knees in the wagon. For awhile he prayed around his sub ject as if afraid to touch it. Gradually, however, his faith strengthened, and in a voice which bade fair to arouse the neighborhood he besought the owner of the cattle on thousand hills to move the hearts and legs of those stubborn oxen. The prayer was unconscionably long, and no sooner had it ended than the impatient driver prepared to start his team.
 "Stop," said Elder John, descending from his wagon; "as I have done the praying I feel that I ought to do the driving. You hold my horse and give mo the goad stick
 Tho man consented to tho arrange ment, and with grin waited to see the parson worsted. At that moment an- other OK team was seen approaching from another direction.
 Hello, neighbor!" the practical parson shouted to the newcomer. ''Lend me your cattle for moment" "Hold on!' cried the owner of the mired cart. ''That's no fair. If you can handle this team better by praying | than I can by swearing I want to see you do it; but no doubling up, mind you; no doubling up."
 Elder Johns robust figure was drawn to its fullest height and his voice was lilo tho roar of the ocean as he an swercd: My friend, the Master I serve is abundantly able to move this load with single yoke of oxen-or without any oxen at all: but when in direct an- swer to prayer he sends me an extra pair of cattle I'm going to hook 'em on!'' No further objection was raised, and with tho aid of endorsements tho loaded cart was easily drawn out of the | mud
