AWAY FROM HOME.
“To the town of Norridgewock, in Maine/' said the Rev. Minot J. Savage, “a strange minister once came to preach. He preached duly, and, after the sermon was over, he mingled with the congregation, expecting that some one would invite him to dinner. “One by one, however, the congregation departed, offering the hungry minister no hospitality, and he began to feel anxious. Where was he to eat? “As the last deacon was leaving the church, the minister rushed, up to him and shook him warmly by the hand. “ *1 want you to come and dine with me.’ the minister said. “'Where do you live?’ said the deacon. '“About thirty miles from here.’ “The deacon reddened. r Dh, you come and dine with me instead/ he said.
