lightning-rod story?" asked Speaker
Cannon of some friends who were]
spinning yarns. 'Well, it's a good
one.
"Mr. Lincoln said he had attended
meeting t a country church where
one of the stingiest creatures on
God's foot-stool went through the
make-me-good idea he was worship
ping the Savior. The minister asked
for a free contribution to enable the
church fathers to buy a lightening-<
rod for the edifice.
"'Surely you are willing to lend I
to the Lord,' said the minister. 'Is
He not the owner of the cattle on a
thousand hills? Will He not re
pay.'"
"That was the chance of the old1
miser :o get in his work by giving a.
reason for not contributing. Rising]
in his seat, he said:
"'You say the Lord is the owner
of the cattle on. a thousand hills.
Then why can't He sell some of the
cattle and buy a lightening-ro?'.
