Of course Mr. Spurgeon expressed his willingness to get both, but she held him to his promise. He had to make a sick call on bis way to tbe station as well as call at the Ta bernacle. Shortly after reaching the sick person’s house, the mother of tbe patient, to bis amnaemeut, asked Mr. Spurgeon if Mrs. S. would like s piping-bullfinch, that they had one, but that its music wah trying to the invalid, and they would gladly part with it to oua who would give itiherequiaito cure.
