BISHOP MATTHEW sIMPsor.
How the Way Was Made Easy FNar
HIM 20 Preach.

Him 10 Preach.
Bishop Matthew Simpson has told IN
a most touching manner the story OF
the early struggles that led him 70 the
ministry. AS he left boyhood behind
Tue conviction grew upon him that he
must preach. But how could het He
was lratipg In speech, with a harsh
voice and with an impossible manner
or declamatioD-the last one to face an
audience
After turning the question over n bls
mind many times, with increasing dis
enlargement he at length Faucnntly
dismissed n and took a tlssee years
course Ia medical college.
biS che idea Of entering the ministry
haunted him day and night. so THAT it
almost seemed to him, as he said. that
IL he did not become Il preacher he
could not be saved"
This led him to pray over the matter.
aud as result the morbid anxiety that
had grown upon him vanished entirely
one day at the sight of a Sculpture text
Trust In the Lord with al tISne
hearG The words had been written
on purpose for him, he said TO himself.
and from that time he felt content 10
let God decide his course.
A day came when his obedience 10
the divine direction was tested Tne
impression came upon him very strong
~ that he ought to speak at n certain

ABOVE all people, young Matthew
dreaded that old uncle.

with indecision. To his arnazemeat his
uncle locked up and said:
Don't you think you could speak TO
the people tonlght?'
But do you think l ought tofv

Ihe young man spoke. TIE carried
the crowded audience with him. Hls
words had power because they came
