Making A Few Remarks

Mr. Stone, a well known and excellent Christian gentleman, belonging to one of the Murray Hill churohes in New York City, was up in the csuntry in the surnmer, and learning that an evoning prayer rneéting was in progress at the village chnrch, walked in and took a soat in the back part of the room. The brother in the chair conduoting the meeting, observing the stranger, left his seat, and ooming to Mr. Stone, said to him : " What is your name ? " " My is Stone." " Where are you from ? " " I am from the City of New York." " Are you one of the Lord's people ? " " I hope that I am," answered Mr. 8., with becoming humility. The presiding genius, satisñed with the answers to his catechism, returned to his elevated seat, and at the end of a hymn rose and said : " Will Brother Stone, from New York, favor us with a few remarks ? " Mr. Stone, willing to do what he could, and having been often told by the N. Y. Ohserver to do in the country as he would in the city, rose and made a few practical observations to the best of his ability. No sooner had he sat down than the prosiding eider rose and said : " Will Brother Stone, of New York, ask the Lord to bless Ma feeble remarles t " Undi8mayed by this coininentary on his speech, Mr. Stone offered prayer, and the meeting proceeded as usual. - N.
