A PROM WIT.


Rams Horn.
Mr., Spurgcon used to tell a good
story about one OF his divinity stu.
dents. 1t was his custom In order to
test the powers of the young men for
speaking, to give them as they were
about to ascend the pulpit a text to
discourse about on their own plan and
their own words. This, of course, was
not before an audience, but simply
among themselves for practice. On
the occasion referred to he gave a
young man who as yet had not tried
the ordeal, the simple word "Zacchae-
ous." The young man, trembling
from head to foot, said:
II will divide my subject into three
parts. First, we read that Zacchaeus
was small Of stature and ! never felt
smaller than at the present moment;
second, we read that Zacchaeus climb.
ed a tree, which reminds me of my as
cent into this pulpit; third, we read
that Zacchaeus made haste to come
down, which accordingly l will now

Whether this man ever became a
great preacher or not, we are not told,
but lie certainly showed that he pos.
