confessed to his audience that as o
truthful person he could not illustrate
the wondrous numbers as he should;
that he had no idea whether he could
carry million dollars in twenty dol

cvercoat pocket, or whether II would
require a wagon and four horses ,
haul that much money from his
domicile to the bank And yet he Is
on our calling list ard we have always
stood ready to tell him how to preach,
when to preach and what to say that
he might best instruct his flock prop

done with the same.-Bowwow Buzzer
