Just back of Missionary Ridge, Chat tanooga, while following the highway to reach Tunnell11ill, I came across a lit tle church half hidden in the woods. The )uilding was primitive, and the ol darkey who sat on a log by the door was more so. After I had made inquiries about the route and was ready to go on he said . " Better git down, boss, an' conic in to meetin'." " Do you hold services this after. noon?" " Yes, sah. We am gwine to oper in 'bout five minits, an' I 'spects de ser mon will be a power1ful one.'' It didn't seem just right to be ridinc around the country on Sunday, and so got down and took a seat beside the oh man. After a few minutes s1pent it general talk, he said it was tim to g, in. I followed after him, and fouml myself the solo audience. I next foui that he was the preaeher who was t< deliver the powerful sernion. I[i opened services in re'enlar form anu with ill due solemnity, and then all nounced his text and began preachinig I stood it for fifty-five miiutes, am then, as he had only reached "second. ,y'" I waited until he closed his eve. and then made a slide for t he door'. ~ 1 was no go. I hadn't gone six foet he fore he stopped his sermon and asked "Stranger, must you be gwinie?" "Yes, 1 feel that I must.'' " An' you can't heah the rest?" "lDen I'll chop off right whar' I is.' ."Oh, don't do that. You can go or with your sermon just the same." "But you see dar' inns' be a colleek. shun tooken up artor do sermon," ht protested, in anxious tones. "If you'l obleege me by takin' a scat I'll sing t hymn an' pa~ss do hat." I sat down, amnt when he had read and sang a hymn, lie paMsed the hat, tratnsferried the quiarter to his vest pock et and observed, as we wvent out~: "I didn't git down to de moas' pow. erful part of do sermon, hut if you hap pen 'long (is way flex' Sunday I'll giv ,you do (odder half.
