AN impecunious minister. who
preached and cultivated a small farm
in neighboring town. went to one of
his liberal church members in the viii
lage and told him that he was very
tried in his mind as to his duty; that
he had been sent for to assist in a re-
vival of religion then in progress in a
neighboring town but his corn needed
hoeing, Very much and of the two he
must, neglect one. His good brother
told him not to neglect toswork for the
Lord and he would see that his corn
was hoed. The next morifing the lib
oral brother sent two men to hoe the
elders corn. On arriving at the house
of the elder, they made known to him
their business. The elder asked them
if. they had brought their dinner with
them and on being told that they had
not. he told them they could go home
and he would hoe his own corn."-
