HER TESTIMONY,
A Methodist clergyman who officiated
in town last Sunday, vouches for this
story. He bas an interesting five-year-
old granddaughter. At prayer meeting
he asked the congreeedon to fise and
give personal testimony; and he was
agreeably surprised to find his grand-
daughter among those who gave experi-
ences. She said:
.,,"The Lord is my shepherd, I shrill nob
went.'"
At the parsonage later in the evenin
1114 clergyman kissed his grandchild na
said that the happiest moment of his life
was when his darling arose and shamed
the older membrs by giving her testi-
mony. It was such as she who meat bati
men good, he added. The ehild listened
attentively to the eulogy, Then she said:
"Well, I just hid to do it. Didn't want
to stern there like. a darned fool and
