Better Late Than Not at All.

The pastor of the little country church
had been much annoyed by having the
members of his congregation stragglc
in long after the service had begun.
One Sunday morning, when he felt that
further ferbearance with this fault was
impossible, he decided to rebuke some
conspicuous offender About twenty
minutes later than the proper hour
there entered mild hammered lttk'
woman, one of the regular attendants
of the church, but quite incorrigible in
her hardness. The minister looked IN,
fixed her with his spectacles and re-
marked:
Sister, you are very much behind
time. | hope you will not be so late in
getting into heaven"
The little woman looked up, smiled
sweetly aid without trace of confu-
sion replied placidly:
II shan't care about that, doctor, so
long as | get there"
And now the pastor feels that the
smile that went round the church some
how spoiled the effectiv eness of his
eprimand.--New York Tribune.
