Young Minister Somewhat in
in the Dark.

Rev. Henry R. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of a small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and a large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command
He was, however. totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli.
ment, but which was put to him in
such way that it left him in doubt
a. to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one of the
most faithful attendants at all serv.
ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are so in'
structive. Do you believe it, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"
