The Call to the Ministry.
An elderly woman nov living in
the west, formerly a resident of
Princeton, New Jersey, not long ago
visited her relatives in that town.
She was especially interested in the
progress of a nephew who had en-
tered the ministry. She had not seen
him since his boyhood, and was, there
fore, anxious to attend service at
his church.
At dinner, subsequent to the Sun
day sermons she heard delivered by
her nephew, it was observed that the
old woman was singularly reticent.
Suddenly she broke her long ST.
lence by asking her nephew, William,
"why did you enter the ministry"
"Why, aunt" exclaimed the young
what a question! / entered
the ministry because l was called"
Just a suspicion of a smile came
to the old woman's face, as she re-
sponded, Are you sure, William,
that it wasn't some other noise you
neard?"

"She Stink a Leetle Yet"
The wife of a wealthy German far
was growing paler, thinner and :

D he employed one Of the best ply Il
