of a man, iu delicate health, having
plenty of this world's goods, who went to
his pastor and said, "Will you send for
the Guardian for me ?" "I will" replied
the pastor. The man took out of his
pocket a year's subscription but monied
loath to part with it. Finally he said,
"Well, I'm not in very good health and
may not live through the year, couldn't
you send for the paper for me for six

replied the pastor, and the man parted
with hie fondly cherished half year's

before they felt it, so we think this
should not be set down as a etaudard for

they paid not their tithes to the Lord.
