Wheeling. The church referred to Is
so situated that its attendance is very
meagre, and its financial support cor
respondingly small. Somehow II OFTEN
happens that the very best ministers
are not called to fill such pulpits. Ii Is
so in this case. The leader elected TO
look after the welfare Of the flock IS
not a full-fedged minister, but only a
student, and not q very promising one
at that. The male members OF this
congregation. some Of whom, 1t Is hall
suspected, are not passionately ford OF
going to church under the happiest cir
cumstances, have grown very tired OF
posing as a target for the young man TO
practice on every SUNDAY, ilasmuch as
said practice does not seem to Improve
the quality of the discOurses. 80 1t
happened that one or tie
bright minds OF the congregation
CHANGED to remember that IT Is
quite the proper thing for ministers to
enjoy summer vacation. A nice purse
of money was raised, and the member
who presented it said IL was simply jas
tice TO grant their dear pastor relaxa-
tion from the work in which he had la
bored so long and earnestly. But the
pastor replied innocently, "One good
turn deserves another. l will not take
advantage of your kindness and leave
you without spiritual leader l shall
continue to hold services here every
Sunday" Then he turned to the organ
ist and asked him to start the stirring
song, which seemed to the congregation
TO sound very much like Ibid you ever
get left"
