Rev. John McNeill, the famous

for an answer. Once in his career a
smart young man, thinking to perplex
him, sent up the following note, re-
questing a public reply:
Dear Mr.. McNeilI-If you are seek
ing to enlighten young men, kindly
tell me who was Gains WIFE"
Mr.. McNeiTl read the note, and then,
amid breathless silence, said: 81 love
young men-inquiries for truth espe-
cially-and should like to give this
young man word of advice. It is
this: Don't loss your souls salvation
inquiring after other mems wives."-
