A Confidence Game.

There was a man by the name
of, say, Tim Short, who sent us
three notices to stop his paper
he did not want it any longer. We
wondered what was the matter
Upon investigation we found that
Tim was short $1,000. He had
never paid a cent, and yet he
stopped his paper as a matter OF
economy to us. He did not want
us to lose any more by him. A
few days afterward Short was at
church and his mclodious tenor
rang out loud and clear in that old
stirring song, Jesus Paid 1t All "
We might have been mistaken but
his earnestness impressed us. So
the next day we sent him a receipt
in full, begging his pardon for
not knowing that he had made an
assignment of his liabilities to the
Lord. -Ex.
