A man teacher, who Is a pronounced
Eplscopalian and who Is Jealous as al
should be in every walk Of life, got into
difficulty few weeks ago not far from
my cabin home. He and the mother OF
a young girl of the neighbOrhood had
talked the matter over aud decided TO
enter the name Of the girl as an appli-
cant for membership in the Episcopal
church. But at that time revival
broke out In the community, led by a
man with limited Information but great
lung power. He was a plain man, with
an active boil on the back Of his neck.
''His heart was good but his blood
was bad, In the language Of a tarheel
acquaintance OF mine.
The girl, however, was led away from
the teachings OF the Established Church
by the more passionate prayer OF the
revivaliSt, together with the vOciferous
song service led by him with the aid OF
little black walnut organ In which the
tremulO had been pulled out so far that
it could not be got back. The mother
tried to snow her how it would pain her
20 be saved in this informal and vocifer-
Gus manner, but she still attended the
revival, obtaining thereby much COM
fort and steady company to and from.
The mother became quite exercised
nd
gether, and so called in the man teacher
aud asked if he would not go with her
10 the meeting and see II he could not
persuade the young women TO return.
he had a kind heart, and so he said he
would. He went in while the mother
remained outside waiting. As he came
in he saw that the young girl was on the
mOuruers' bench; but he had promised
her mother, and so ne went to where she
stood. All were singing. He spoke TO
her softly and asked her TO return with
him and have some style about her, but
she shook her head.
Then the leader said, Let us pray. p"
His prayer consisted Of a general attack
on the man teacher, 1.-THE devil that had
come among US TO steal away the lambs
Of the fold" etc. The prayer was no
doubt actionable. OF course the man
teacher should have had more sense tnan
TO 90 In there and try 70 snatch brand
from the burning when iJ was really an
other mans brand. When you fool with
another mans brand out where l used
to live you suddenly fud yourseltfeeling
around with your feet for -four barrel
which some rude hand has kicked away.
The idea of kicking away flour barrel
by means Of the rude hand Is original
with me-
Well, 20 make long story short, an
other hymn followed and then prayer
that left the Throne Of Grace fully In
formed regarding the record Of the man
teacher. IL referred to him as the child
of helf and heir presumptive to that
low, malarial piece Of property. 1t was
a prayer that would peel the varnish of
an ordinary puI pit and scortch the fringe
on the altar cloth. Ii was replete with
sensational information and crisp edl-
torial comment. II had hard words in
it. and was highly favored with refer
ences 90 hell as a railroad center and
general Quitting point for people who
toyed with brands which others were In
the act OF Snatchlng from the burnlng.
The result was that in the back part
OF the sanctuary feeling was created
10 that extent that In fifteen minutes
