A Place For Hosea

Dean Hole, iu his "Little Totir In America," gives the following good story, which was picked up at au entertainment giveu in his honor by the Lotos club of New York. The quaintest story of the evening was told by Dr. Greer of a tediotis, monotonons preacher who had exhausted the patience of his hearers by an' elabórate dissertation on the ionr greater prophets, and whon, to their sad disgust, he passed on to the minor and asked, "And now, my brethren, where shall we place Hosea?" a man rose from the congregation anc made answer: "You can place him here, air. l'm off." It is a vain thought to flee from the work that God appoints us for the sake of finding a greater blessing instead 01 seeking it where alone it is to be founc - in loving obedience. - George Eliot.
