minister, is writing reminiscence* .
of hisieailv life, lie founded the first
Methodist Church in lluntsvillc, Ala. ,
The scene of the following anecdote, we ^
believe, is located somewhere in thnt (
section of the State:
I had preached this year to a hardened
congregation of wealthy sinners,
where there was no society ; and, I sup '<
pose, they thought themselves "free c<
from the dead," so far ns pay wns con- c
corned. When 1 whs preaching my S
last sermon to litem, I returnked that 1 t?
11ad been preaching to them for some' li
time the best I could, and thnt if I had d
not preached as sell ns others, I had
preached as cheap a gospel as any olli- j(
er man ever did; that for nil my labor
among them, I had not received as v
much as would wrap mv little finger %
with crocus. As I was taking my leave ,
of them, there was some feeling tnani
tested, when a large, fat old mnn came .
up to the pulpit, hluhhetiug and wiping
his eyes, said " (?od bless you, sir ; if
we poor cititers don't pay you, the Lotd s
will." " I understand," said I, " that
the Lord is very good for his own c< n- f
11act, hut 1 never heard tlir.t ho was "
bound to pay your debts."
