J reca?? a stoiy, j .that & few years after.-the war'{which 1 ?tiie^great chronologtcal epoch m a large - part of ?trr country,) ,at "the.] ^Vh?^" Sulph?r Springs in Virginia | was a venerable nxxn <*t whom all tlie j peopre looked with profound admira- j. *tk?f,'w?tose name was Robert E.: L^e. j . ?Efe was a devout Kpiscopa-lian. One j day a,Presbyterian niinister eaine ft>:\ preach in the hall room, according to j custom, and he told sne this story, j He noticed that General Lee. who i was a, particular ?>an about all the 1 p^pneties of life, came in late, and t>e \ bethought it was rather strange. lie I learned afterwards that the G e nera! had i waited until all the people who were ? likely to .attend the efervice hatt enter- ! ed^the room, and then he walked vety ; quietly areni id in the- corridors and j .parlors, and out under the trees, and [ Mkerever ite saw a man or two stand- \ "figlie would go up . and say gently: ; /^*\v"e are going tt> have divine service this morning in the ball room; won't * yoeesotne? and they all went. To me it was very touching that that : grant! old. man,, whose name was i jtnown ail over, the world and be'ore \ whom all it e people wanted to bow, \ should so quietly go around, and for ! a?uister of anothev denoUtKiatiwi^ also, and persuade ?kei? to go. And ? should not we take means tu Iie?p our ! |?stor to draw a c<?ngregationjf And \ when he begins to prt*aclt,,cannot w? I*elp him to preach? D*?tno.stttenc-s is j reported to have spid (and he ought ", to have Icnov^ti something ab<?nt \\), . that eloqnence lies as much in the ear I as in the tongue. Everybody who ' can speak eSectively knows that the power, of speaking dejKfnds v<?ty : Iarge?y upon tire way k is heard, upon the'sympathy one sucoe<?ds io gain- ; ing from those he addresses, if I I Were asked wliat is the first thing in j effective preacliing, 1 should sa}', sympathy; and what is the second thing, ! shouid say,, sympa?!iy; and | what is t1te third thit>g, sympathy ! should give*our pastor 'sympathy ? when he preaches Pardon another ! insfance. I Fenvernber U> have preach- | ?l years ago at a watering piace in : the Virginia JV?ourftahis at the dedica- ! tiott.ofauew church. The people : were all stratijrers to each other, and whieu'we went away my friend said (wWhad a right to speak sofamniar ly,},"! wonder, my dear fellow, that you cou?d btt ;uiia*ated at all to day, ; ibr wc are ail strangers, i?nd things were pretty cold. I thought." "Ah*" but 4he pre?c?Mrr replied, "you did * not see old brother Gwatinney, of. I?aiiit>ver, who sat tlx>re b\" tite post. ; The iirst sentei-ce of the sermon; caught hold of him, and it kept sinn- ; ing ou* of his eyes and his Uk<*, aud: \ lie and the prear'i.f.'r lutria. g->(?d tjinte t?>- | gether.and we didiig care at :*ll about i tljerest of y wit." Sotnetimes.onr' goo I listener cau make a go?n$ sermon: but ' ah^ ??metirt?es one listewr who does not; care much about the sermonean pult the senne;? all ont of harmony. ? The soul <?{ a man who can speak ef- j fe?tive?y ;s a very - sensi fi ve soul, | easily repelled and chilled by what is | unfavorable, and easily helped by the | mat?fest?tioTt of simple and unpreten tid?s: sympatity. i How oan we help our pastor? We can help him by talking about what Le says; not talking, about the per^ forrhanee and aboutthe performer and j aft that,. w?;?iv if it isf appropriate j anywhere,;is) surely all inappropriate ; when we turn away from the' solemn I worship of God, and from listening to [sermons intended to do us good?but ! talking about *the thoughts that he has given, us, recalling them some- j I times to one who has heard them like I j ourselves, repeating them- sometimes [.to some one who has'not had the op portunity of hearing them* Thus j I may we multiply whatever good j thoughts the preacher is able to pre \ sent, and keep them alive in our own I minds and the iniuds of fel io w Chris I tians. Will you pardon an illustra tion here, even if it be a personal one? I Last year in a city in Texas, I Was told of the de?jre on theparfc^of a-lady for conversation; auwhen we rirettvy* arrangement, she came in widow's weeds, with a little boy of ten or twelve years old, and wanted to tell this story: Her husband was once a studenti .a^t^ Y_ rrg?.nia^ ' wSen t?ie pusoif she. was talking, tp was the chaplain there, mor? than f' Iw?rity-five^years ag?> [ )He was" > ? Presbyterian ?family . from Alabama, an'?sahhh? never got acquainted with j the Chaplain,- for the studeuts were numerous, but :-that he heard the f preaching a great deal, and intonse-] quence of it^by^God's blessing ?pon j | jt he was led to take hold as a Chris-' ; tian, and went home aud joined the I church of.his parents. After the, war ;*he"mfried^ ancLa. few yeate ^o^b ?p4?ed %w#y:? She?said ue| -was in the^hab?t,' before ' she knew him, she learned, of talking often in tire- family about/things h? used to\ hear the preacher say; th? preacher's wordeliad J gotten to be household words in tne ?arriily. -&rid then when they-were married he taught some of. them to her, and was often repeating things he used to near the preacher say. And since h?rdi?d she bad been teaching them to the little boy?the preachers woids. The heart of th? j preacher might well melt in bis bosom at the story. ' To think that'your poor words, winch you yourself hud wholly -forgotten, which you coulu never have imagined had vitality enough for that, had been repeated among strangers; had been repeated by the youug man to his mother, re? i peated by the young widow to the 1 clriid^-onr^oo^ us *rn?ghty h?iicaase fcl??y -?e .~e<>?

We' cati all ; furnish our pastors* with illustratami?.' i Inrthat very way, perhaps we might! give a .preacher many things that; wo?td be useful to U?aij but in other';" ways we can all do . so. Ah, .when \ the preacher teils how it ought lo be, j if yon can sometimes humbly testify, ! in the next meeting on Tuesday ori Friday evening, h?w it lias been in j your, experience, you are illustrating j for the preacher. When the preacher :, teils-v w4rafc- Oh ristianity- catr 7 do - for j people, if your life illustrates it for ! all around, there is a power that no ; speech can ever have. -- ? ?I?

That a large, majority of those who as- j sume the p::sit!cn of educators have ? never beva educated themselves, is noto- ? rious to e,very one who feci luteresti enough in the subject to inform tfiem- | selves who these educators are. That a ! large majority of them are after ihe ? n?oney alone that is appmpt iuted f:>r the educattoii of the chiMWui. atid do not ? care one iota abuut ihe improvement of : those to be educated is shovm bv tlie ' nsanner in .wh?cl?.they nejrl^ci the?r_du y in this respect. That -a large majority of those who set themselves up as teachers do so because thev are t<>o in- j dolent t? en anythitr?; else. Timt ^: large m;tj<?rjty of teachers think there is no responsibility to which thev are ac- | cotKifable, and cooseouetitly they ' require no discipline of those whom i they are paid to teach. , ?
