WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted In Her
Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most Of
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
a trial sermon, and all, in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
"The reason I am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, "is because he
has the right kind Of wife for
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. found out long
while ago-shortly after I was mar
ried myself, in fact-that man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents it on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
We won't hear a peep out of him."
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation really did give
the man call. According to last ac-
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.
