Old Preacher
Is Reminiscent
First Day's Preaching Hardest In
Forty year* of Ministry.
By REV. E. H. DAVIS. Loulsburg.
The old preacner began to be remi
niscent which la quite a different
thing from being garrulous. Mere
garrulllty never has anything worth
wblle whether It deals with past,
present or future, while the reminis
cing man, dealing, of course, with
the past If he had a mind back there
with its marvelous faculty of mem
ory and used it, always does have
something worth while. In our
characteristic hurry we may give
him but a grudging hearing if any,
but a time will come when we shall
wish that we had not been In such
a hurry but had stopped and list
ened to this observing and remem
bering man. Many of us are full of
regrets right now that we did not
do so, for than their stories ot
knowledge that might have been
ours for the asking or listening
would not have gone from us for
ever. And so regarding him and a
good many other persons and things
hear a good old proverb, "festlna
lente," make haste but slowly. Do
not be in too big a hurry especially
regarding that man. So we listened
to the old preacher not only patient
ly but pleasantly and profitably as
he told us <tt his first night out
from home as a Gospel Minister.
Said he: "That first day and night
were the roughest and toughest ot
all my more than 40 years la ser
vice. It was figuratively a bap
tism of fire but only figuratively,
Reaching my new home meant a
Journey of 75 miles, such a small
matter now. The weather was bit
ter cold, roads were awful, cut up
and frozen, thawing now a bit even
In the middle ot the day. My horse
and boggy were both decrepit and
I a stranger In a strange land though
not' 25 miles from where I Wis born
and reared. The sun had set and
rapidly increasing darkness added
to the cold and my discomfort. A
light ahead Inspired hope and driv
ing to it I stopped to front of a large
country store with what appeared a
splendid dwelling on opposite side
ot road. Hailing a darkey I asked
him to tell the proprietor I would
like to have a word with him, who
presently appeared. I told him who
1 was, whither bound and that I
had been directed to him for a
night's lodging. Very promptly and
emphatically he said he could not
possibly take me. I said, 'I am a
stranger here and know not a single
person in this whole section, if you
cannot take me into your house let
me go Into your back room and sit
by that big fire I see biasing there
and buy a little forage for myself
and tills old horse, and /thus get
shelter from this bitter cold,' He
said in substance, absolutely noth
ing doing there either. Well then
I said, "Can yon tell me at least If
you know a single man In this com
munity wffo might hare a different
mind from you in this matter and
Stye a Tery uncomfortable wayfarer
a night's lodging.' 'Tea', he said.
Drive up the ?'oad about a mile and
stop at first white house on right
hand side of road,' which I loat no
time in doing and with such differ
ent results. The welcome here made
the previous repulse worth while.
'Yes,' said this man, 'this la the
place you are looking for. Get right
out and come on in.' I said, 'after
( have helped you with my horse.'
'No,' he said, 'let the horse stand
and come to the fire,' which I was
glad enough to do. The family had
already been to aupper but In due
time it was announced again and the
meal I partook of that night in that
good man's house stands out in my
memory as well nigh the most de
lightful one of my whole life,
"Yes I hare eaten at tablea when
knives, forks and spoons stretched
in an utterly bewildering row to the
number of ten on the right side of
my plate and when the plate was
changed about the same number of
times, but such, none of them or all
them ever Inspires in me such pleas
ant recollections as I have and will
ever have of that supper that night
la that warm and hospitable dining
room of the brother who lived in
the white house in the right side of
the road and was a friend to man.
Separating for the night my host
asked me, 'did you come by the
store down here and ask that man
to take you in?' I said 'yes.' And he
refused to do so bat sent you to me.'
I said 'yes' again. He said, 'I can't
understand why he does that way.
He can buy me out ten times and yet
he sends everybody wanting food or
lodging to me. Understand, I'm glad
he sent you to me and remember the
latch string of this house is on the
outside to you and every other
preacher that passes this way.' I
have found It this way more than
once in the years that have passed.
"A sequel to this story is this.
Twenty years afterwards while pas
tor in a large town in quite another
section of the State, I told abont
this first night's experience in a
sermon without giving it * local
habitation or .a name. Two promi
nent business men of that town,
came to me at the end of the ser
vice and said, 'If we tell yon just
where this experience took place and
who the man that turned you down,
will you tell ]H if we are right.' I
agreed and t&ey promptly gave the
correct name and added:
"Did you ever hear what became
of that store.' I said no. They said
'a cyclone wiped It off the map and
the faoe of the earth scarcely leaving
a plank and the man's business was
as complete a collapse. We were
raised right there.'
"But my friend who took me la
still lives In the white house on the
right side of the road, and still en
tertains preachers, his own pastor
and others. I have been there."

RIDING FOR A FALL
Wllllamston Enterprise.
Those politicians who have no
plaUorm except liquor are going to
get the greatest setback this year
they hare had In many.
Women are not demanding drunk
en husbands. Children are not beg
ging for drunken fathers. Merchants
are not looking for drinking clerks.
Sick people prefer sober doctors.
The law prohibits drunken drivers
Drinking engineers are not allowed
to enter locomotive cabs. Drinkers
are not allowed to play baseball nor
football.
Who does want drinkers for any
thing? What business or profession
succeeds better with drinking men
than with sober men?
Of course, liquor may help to
deaden the shame of houses of 111
repute. It may be good to give a
fellow courage enough to commit a
crime. But nntll somebody finds
some way in which liquor may b?
used to make folks better, and some
way to prevent It from doing harm, '
politicians will have a hard time ?
putting the program of a gang of j
beer bnms over the people for the l
sole purpose of making motley out
of them.
The liquor folks have done a lot
of talking and printing to try to pop
ularise their program, while the
'rank and file of people have kept
quiet. This has, to some extent, giv
en the liquor people encouragement.
But when the real fight comes, the
thinking people who know that man
Is nearer like Ood made him wh9n
sober than he is when drunk are
going to stand like a wall against the
liquor elements, made up principally
of foreigners and people who want
to manufacture and sell liquor for
profit.
