BRAVED THE STORM
HOW VIRGINIA PREACHER KEPT
PllGHTED WORD.
Luther Rice, With His Hand to the
PloW, Disdaned to Turn Back for
the Angry Elements-Happy in His
Arduous Task

/ could not have been more than
four or five years old when Luther
Rice drove up to my home in his IA
nous old gig. He was on a tour to
the West in behalf of Columbian col
lege, and some one had directed him
to spend the night at my fathers He
did SO. and came in. tired and hungry,
about sunset. He soon explained the
object of his visit; said he would have
to start early on the morrow in order
to meet his next appointment at
church near Charlottesville: but that
night came a snOWstorm the like OF
which had never been seen in this
region In modern days.
The morning came and Luther Rice
was up bright and early. My father
and mother pleaded viii him not to
think of going out The roads were
well-nigh impossible. owing to the
great heaps OF snow and the storm
was yet raging and likely to continue
a day or two. 1t seemed madness
and the height of folly to face the
fierce beating winds and the growing
heaps of snow which made travelling
almost an impossibility. My father
said: Brother Rice. you cannot pos
sibly reach your appointment, and IN
such weather there would be no one to
hear YOU preach" But Luther Rice
replied: Il must go-there's no use
to talk about it,
He then asked if he could not get
back to the Charlottesville road With
out going back to Trevilian's, where
he turned out to come here Yes,
said my father Going across my
plantation and Mr.. Crawford's mile
to the Charlottesville road would save
you three miles, for it is two miles
back to Trevlian's and two miles far
tber up the Charlottesville road,
hence you would save three miles by
going across the fields, but You would
have to pull down two fences. Rice
caught at that and asked: Haven't
you got an oxcart that you would let
me have to break track in the snow,
and whose driver could pull down and
put up the two fences of which you
speak,
That arrangement was finally made,
and the greatest man God ever gave
the Baptists," as Prof. w II. Whitsitt
thinks, and his horse and buggy in
due time reached the main roa which
leads from Richmond to Charottes-
vile.
few hours later the oXcart return
ed and its driver reported that no ve-
hice had gone along the Charlottes-
Vile road. and that there was not SO
much as the track of a horses foot in
the great unbroken heaps of snow as
Mr.. Rice resumed his journey. Then
it was that my father became SO
alarmed thinking that Mr.. Rice might
perish in this attempt to fill! his en-
gagement to preach and to raise
money for Columbian college. that he
ordered his horse to be saddled and
rode after him.
On reaching the main road he saw
a man on horseback and inquired OF
him if he had passed man i'll a
buggy. yes" said he. Il passed a
man who answers to Your description
and he was leading his horse and
breaking a nath for him in the snow
and seemed to be very happy in doing
so.''-The Rev Dr. A. Z. Dickinson in

fictitious nature stories-stories that
many persons believe to be true--I am
reminded Mr.. Burroughs said one
day, of the story of the intelligent
copperhead This story is quite az
true as many that are implicitly cred
tied.
According to it, there was a man
who had the habit OF teasing copper
heads, He would find a copperh ead's
hole. and then he would wait beside it

ten SO tar into the hole that only the
end of the tail protruded. This he
would seize, and with quick move

snake returned to its hole the opera
tion was repeated. and SO on until the
joker was weary.
