Why They Do 1t.

a new preacher was installed in a
church in the mountains of East Ten
nessee few months ago, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. In his
first sermon he denounced gambling
of all kinds. bur dwelt upon the evils OF
stock gambling especially. At the close
OF the sermon one of the elders took him
aside and whispered that one OF the
most liberal members OF the congrega-
ton was stock broker, and he must
be careful not to say anything on the
subject again. The following Sunday
the preacher exhorted against the
wickedness OF drinking. Another elder
warned him that one of the memb ers,
also liberal, owned private still. and it
would be wise not to wound his feelings.
On the next Sunday the preacher at
tackled another evil with like results. In
despair he called meeting OF the elders
and demanded to know if there was any
sin which he might touch upon without
fear OF offending someone in the con-
gregation. The elders thought for a
long time. Finally one OF them arose
and said: "I'l tell you what to do.
