IN THE MINORITY.
The evangelist was winding up his address with a fervid appeal: "Will all of you who wish to jro tr heaven rise?" he said.
And all rose except one man, who had slept mont of the time. When they resumed their seats he rubbed his eyes, partially awoke, and heard the last part of the speaker's request, whiob was:—"Now, I want all of you who don't wish to go there stand up."
The sleeper rose from his seat in a dazed sort of way. A-, suppressed laugE came from some of the younger members, and an expression ol horror was on tKe faces of the older ones.
Then he looked at the preacher and said: —"Well, parson, I don't know exactly what w© are all voting on, but you and I seem to be in a. hopeless minority."
