times upon his congregation. At the
conclusion Of one of his sermons he
said: ~.
Let everybody in the house who pay
their debts stand up"
Instantly every man, woman and
child, with one exception. arose to their
feet He seated the crowd. and then
said:
Let every man who il not paying
his debts stand up"
The exception noted, . careworn,
hungry individual. clothed in his last
summer suit. slowly assumed a perpen-
dicular position and leaned upon the
back Of the seat in front of him.

this large congregation who is unable
to meet his obligations"

replied. and my hrethran harA rha
