Vleet disappeared from home several

GEN. HARRISON AND THE CLERK
Took Time i'm the Midst of a Campaign
to Discuss Religion.

Saturday Evening Post.
The late President Harrison was a pro-
found student of the Bible. He was, too,
an earnest member of the Presbyterian
Church and an active Sunday-School
worker.
Among the attendants at his Sunday
school was a young man who was en-
ployed as a clerk in an indianapolis store.
This was in 1881, during the session of the
legislature in which General Harrison was
a candidate for the United States Senate.
On account Of the uncertain complexion
Of the Senate at that time the Indiana
contest was one OF national interest. The
days and nights were occupied with plan
ming and campaigning, and every moment
Of General Harrison's time was demanded
by his supporters. Inquiries for him were
constant. He left one conference only to be
drawn into another.
One Sunday at the conclusion of the regu-
lar service, a member OF Mr.. Harrison's
church approached the young clerk and In
The young man replied that he could not
formally affiliate himself with any church,
because. though he believed the Scriptures
In a general way he was still perplexed
on a number OF points. In that condition of
mind he could not conscientiously join a
church. This conversation was overheard
by General Harrison.
The general quietly ascertained where the
young man lived, and on the next evening

young man were at home, that ne was.
She invited the general into the parlOr,
but he said that he would rather meet
the young man in his own room.
He was conducted TO a small rear room on
the upper floor, and when the young man
opened the door in answer to the land
lady's knock and saw General Harrison.
he said. as he was wont afterward TO eX-
press il. that he might have been knocked
down by a feather.
Though he had long admired Mr.. Harri-
son at a distance and had become accus-
toned TO seeing him at church, he had
never spoken TO him, and had not imagined
that the general was even aware OF his ex-
iStence.
Mr.. Harrison sat down, and with an I'M
wontedly cordial manner at once set the
young man at his ease. He told him that
he had overheard, on the previous day,
his expression OF doubts regarding the
Scriptures. and said:
Now, I am a much older man than You.
