"ABUNDANT IN LABORS."

Rev. DR.. Frank H. Wood. Metho-
dist preacher now on the superannu-
ated list, in an interesting article on
my First Conference in the n. c.
Christian Advocate, says that en- route
to conference, which met at Beaufort,
in 1858, he spent several days in
Chatham county at the home of Mr.
Guthrie, father of the late Rev. L. W.
Guthrie, and says:
"Rev. T. C. Moses lived near Broth
er Guthrie's, and while there he made
us a visit. He had been serving the
Montgomery circuit that year, and in
speaking of his work, said that mo
had preached tWenty-eight times
month. but had not had half enough
10 do
what would some of the faStijious
young preachers of this day think il
they were to fall heir to that sort OF
charge"
The "fastidious young preachers OF
this day would be apt to say that the
sermon of to-day is better than forty
five years ago, that the preacher of
to-day works as hard as the old time
preacher owing to the multitude of du-
ties imposed upon him. and that there
is no need of preaching twenty-eight
times a month. And in part he would
be correct There are SO many more
preachers now that a preacher who
should insist upon preaching twenty
eight times a month might not find a
congregation to hear him. But the
thoughtful preacher of this day ought
to use this statement to ask himself
two questions:
i. Is not the preacher of to-day
burdened overmuch in serving ia
bles." giving his time to a multitude
of things that ought not TO entrench-
to preach the gospel?
2. Is it not the duty of the pastor
Of to-day who has to serve only ore
town or city church, to devote a por-
ton of his time to evangelistic work
in his own community and adjacent
territory, preaching sometimes as often
as twenty-eight times month? Some
town preachers find help and strength
in their own iabors by going for
month to preach in protracted services
in mission charges or in neglected
places. Wouldn't ii help every city
pastor. whose nervous energy is depict
ed by the monotonous round of duties.
to go into the country and preach
every day for month to new congre.
cations? He would be getting as mucn
by these abundant labors" as the
congregations that would be blessed by
his ministration.
We cannot go back to "the good old
days that DIR. Wood writes about.
These days are in many respects bet
ter. At any rate. he is the wise man
who best serves his own day ana ger-
GRAFTON without looking back mourn
fully upon the past. But there was
much in the old fashioned plain and
earnest preaching of the gospel that
the modern preacher might we'll emu
late, and "twenty-eight times" a
month in old fashioned revival SER
vices would occasionally do preacher
and people much good.

She goes about helping people who

this with mild insistence, with

In her church, she is feared for her

ing been captured, was tried by court
martial and sentenced to death, which in
nose days implied ''harikiri." When.
however, the fatal sword was presented
TO him he fatty refused to kill himself.
and declared that if he was to die some
body else must kill him. Threats and
entreaties alike proved unayailing-he
resolutely refused. The whole of Japan
was scandalized az such immoral be-
havior, which, however, saved his life
The japanese penal code had never con
templated such contingency as a man
inhuman enough to refuse the "harikiri,"
