Prayers at q o'clock.

Some of the Methodist preachers who
attended the recent conference in Arkan-
sas City, told a good story on Rev.
c. S. Nusbaum, who was formerly pas
tor of the Emporia Avenue Methodist
church in this city.
Four years ago the conference met at
Lyons, and several preachers, among
then Rev. Mr. Nusbaum. were entertained
at the home Of sam Jones, a prominent
lawyer of that city. When the preachers
came to the home of their host on the
first night of the conference, he said
TO them:
81 suppose you are good Methodists,
and know the disciplinary rule that min
listers should rise for prayers at four
o'clock in the morning.
The ministers replied that they knew
that to be the disciplinary requirement.
We'll. you must get up for prayers at
four o'clock tomorrow morning." said
the host.
The preachers retired and at four
o'clock they woke up Their host was
soundly sleeping in another room. The
preachers rose ard knocked at the door
What is the matter?" said Mr.. Jones,
sleepily.
1T is four o'clock" replied Rev. Mr.
Nusbaum." It IS time for prayers. Get
up.
There was nothing for Mr.. Jones TO
do but obey. but on the following morn
ing he was not anxious for early prayers.
