Asked TOO Much.

Some time ago the faculty of n theolog-
ical seminary received a request for n
minister from a little western parish.
The salary offered was so meaGcr and the
virtues demanded were so many that the
heads of the theological professors shook
with perpleXity.
One of them suggested writing that the
only man they had ever known who
might have filled the requirements of the
parish was a late lamchtcd clergyman
who had accustomed himself to living al
most entirely upon spiritual food in one
poor, stony parish. But this suggestion
was discarded
At last the most energetic member Of
the faculty composed letter which he
was deputized TO copy and send off. He
wrote as follows:
while we fully understand that the
lack of money in n parish does not lessen
its desire to have a fine preacher and de-
voted pastor, we are compelled to say
that we know of no man who can fill
your requirements. Were We living in
the days OF the apostle Paul, he would
doubtless have preached for you, but we
ask you to bear in mind that he could
have rcsorted to saimaking on week days
in case of necessity.
