Like his great nonconformist brother,
Charles Ell. Sturgeon, in England, and
like. Henry Ward Beecher and DR.. Tai
mage, in this country, the late DR.. Jo-
seph' Parker of the City temple. Lon
don, commanded very large fees for
fully half his pastoral life. Yet he
could truly say that after being fifty
years in the ministry he was not so
shillings the richer for any preaching
outside his own pulpit.
DR.. Parker gave freely of his money
as well as of his strength of mind and
body to the struggling ministers and
churches of his denomination. On one
occasion he had opened a suburban
chapel, and critical and cynical per-
son saw fit to question his disinterest-
edness
You had to pay a pretty sum for DR..
Parker's sermon. suppose. dare
say" said he, sit cost f25 at the very
least"
THAT is the exact sum that passed
between u.s. returned one of the Off
Gals of the chapel.
"Ah," sneered the cynic, land that is
what you call giving the gospel of
Christ free to every one who asketh

Precisely" was the reply. THAT is
precisely what DR.. Parker did. He
gave US the sermon, and he gave us

The New York Times repeats the story:

said-"that is. I have no ready money.

course. is not available. don't see
how can aid you"
well, Mr. Hopkins said the spokes-

note
"Um, HIM! Now, that's clevere YoH
shall have it." And he forthwith wrote
his note for $4,000, payable in six
months. AS he handed it over he said,
''Tell me now what you are going to do
with this"
I'VE shall turn it into cash.
But, see here" said Mr.. Hopkins,
