A CALL TO SPUaOEOH.
The congregation of Smith’s Cor
ners met lately for the purpose of
extending a call to a minister.
There was a fair attendance, and a
considerable amount of interest
was taken in the proceedings, as it
had been rumored for some time
that the Corners people would prob
ably ask the great London preacher
to become their pastor. The meet
ing having been duly opened, the
Chairman, after a few remarks on
the importance of the work befor
them, asked those present to pro
ceed to business.
Mr. Diotrephes Highflyer then
rose, and said that lie had a motion
to make, which he felt sure would
secure the support of all present
They had now been vacant for over
two years, and bad heard about
fifty candidates. Some of them
were good enough men, but none ol
ttie’ii c.t:ii** up to the standard re
quire-1 m Sounds Corners. They
needed a atsi-elass man in theii
church, and there was no use in
calling any oilier. The Methodists
were getting a good man, and they,
must have iiie best talent in theii
church, or they might as well close
lit. Their people demanded the
ibest pulpit, ability in the country,
- and they were willing to pay for it.
' They could raise at least three hun-
-dred dollars a year, and no doubt
• they could get a supplement. He
had been carefully looking over a
list of those who had preached, and
of the most effective men in the
Church, and he was persuaded
none of them was suitable. They
wanted a man of peculiar qualities
to All the Corners pulpit-, and he
was convinced they would have to
go to another country for him. He
had been looking into the record of
a few of the best men in the British
cities; and on the whole, he thought
Spurgeon had made about as good
a mark as any of them. He moved
that they call Spurgeon.
Mr. Aminidab Stuckup second
ed the motion. He wished to di
rect I he attention of the meeting to
the financial aspect of the question.
.'Spurgeon, if he accepted the call,
wvouid no doubt draw; and the
more people, the more money.
■ Spurgeon would draw on the ether
•churches, and bring their people in,
-and a considerable amount of the
funds now going into the other
churches would flow into the Cor
ners treasury. His opinion always
"was that the minister should raise
the money. Two things had to be
kept in view—tone and money. A
minister coming from London
would give tone to the Corner.-,’
church, and the money would come
• in. He had great pleasure in second
ing the motion.
Mr. Straight lace said he was op
posed to calling Spurgeon. It was
well known that Spurgeon smokes,
and no man who uses tobacco would
stand in the Corners pulpit with hi?
consent. No Christian would smoke.
* Smoking produces‘idiocy, insanity
and crime, and sends thousands to
the goal, the gallows and an early
grave. Spurgeon might be a good
ipreaelier; but what does his preach
ing amount to if he smokes? If
iSpurgeon were called, he and his
•family would leave the Corners
church.
Mr. Smallbore made the same ob
jection. If they called Spurgeon,
he would stop his subscription. He
had never paid less than two dol
lars a year; but if they called-Spur-
geon, or any olher smoker, he
would withdraw his subscription;
and then where would they be?
Mr. Humdrum said they had an
other objection. Spurgeon was sen
sational. He published his sermons
in the Globe every week. He would
hnve nothing to do with sensational
preachers.
f yir Dryasdust said his objection
| W a 9 of another kind. Spurgeon
often said humorous, racy things in
J the pulpit, could give any
F ‘ nu mber of illustrations of this fault
i from his published sermons. In a
r 8er mon on Jonah 2:9, he said Jonah
was a Calvinist ; and addea that he
hoped none of his Arminian friends
would have to learn Calvinism
where Jonah learned bis. It was
not in good taste to make such al
lusions. He believed in pulpit dig
nity. He was opposed to putting a
man in the Corners pulpit that said
s uch things in his sermon. He lik-
Jb see a stiff, dignified, ec.-lesi-
c-al-looking man, with a prope
Vat of clerical starch in hi
osition. Spurgeon looked like
TIisiness man, and never talked
! “pulpit tone.” He would never
|<r„ a call to such a man.
T Air. Theophilus Pedant, A. B.
*id Spurgeon was not a graduate
: any university; and, for his part
ever wished to hear a man who
not a graduate. He admired
Dichaw,” and had reason to be-
that - Spurgeon was not a
dtift- He would not vote for
eve
Mr. John Talkative said his objec
tion was of a more practical kind.
It is well known that Spurgeon
does not visit his congregation. He
had lately read some remarks of
Spurgeon’s that made light of visit
ing and tea-drinking in the congre
gation. Now, he (Air. Talkative)
believed in visiting. He liked the
minister to come often, and bring
his family’, and spend the whole af
ternoon. He would not press too
heavily upon a minister and ask
him to read and pray when he visit
ed. Nor did he believe that a min
ister should catechise families, and
speak to them on matters of person
al religion. That was tedious and
laborious and could not be expected.
What he wanted was that the min
ister should spend half a day occas
ionally, talking about “current
events.” That is the way to build
up a cause. If Spurgeon bad spent
the time going round among the
people, that he spent in writing
books, ami editing his magazine,
and working at liis Orphanage and
** As tor’s Ci /liege, how much better
.could it have been! If there was
tuy reason to hope that Spurgeon
would improve his methods, aud
d /more visiting, tie would not op
pose the call; but Spurgeon was too
old now to reform. He would not
sign tho call.
Mr. Veal said he was opposed to
Spurgeon on account of his age.
He had already’ passed the dead
line of fifty, and a man over fifty
as not capable of filling the Cor
ners pulpit. Spurgeon might have
experience and piety and a fair
amount ot pulpit ability, but lie
could not be magnetic at fifty.
What they wanted w'as a magnetic
young man. A young man w’as al-
w-ay’s better at getting up sociables,
helping at tea meetings, and all
that sort of thing. Spurgeon had
the rheumatism in his toes, and
could not get around lively for
dishes and things, when the Corners
people were getting up their annual
tea-meetings. What they wanted
was a young, active mac.
Air. Gusher said he had a more
serious objection than any that had
yet been urged. Spurgeon was
combative. He gave the Ritu
alists, Rationalists, and other peo
ple of various kinds some fearful
knocks. Now, he did not like a
minister ot that kind. He liked a
minister that said “dear brother”
and “dear sister” to everybody.
There was nothing lie liked so well
as to talk in “union meetin’.” He
had no sympathy with those men
w’iio are always denouncing abuses.
For bis part, he was ready to join
hands with Ritualists, and all other
men and sing,
Blest be the tie that binds.”
That was the hymn he iiked. This
business of contending for the truih
was behind the age. Spurgeon
would be sure to make trouble with
somebody if he came, therefore he
would not sign his call.’
At the close of Air. Gusher’s re
marks, the meeting adjourned.

to calling even Spurgeon.—Canada
OXLT A LITTLE THIXG.
By lidiej Omyre,
“Pictures! Pictures!”
Four Little girls were on their
way to a photograph gallery to have
their pictures taken. It was easy to
see that it was something of an
event to them. Every bow and ruf
fle and looping was nieely arrang
ed, their pretty hair braided with
great exactness, and each little las
sie moved with due regard to keep
ing such an amount of elegance un
disturbed.
“I’m afraid this wind is going to
blow our hair all rough,” said
Madge.

The present meeting is attended
by Julian Hawthorne, Edgar Faw

ketch of his literary career, as seen
from the inside. Alice Wellington

essay, “Two Days in Utah, by an

sense point of view. Fannie Court

delightful short story, a careful

perior remembrance of having had
a picture taken very long ago.
“I know I shall laugh,” said Jes
sie.
‘You musn’t,” said Madge, very
positively. “Of all things in the
world I do hate to see a smirk on a
photograph.”
You must try to think of some
thing solemn,” said Olie. “That’s
the way I always do.”
I shall be scared, I know,” said
Tttle Kitty.
“Then you’d hetterthink of some
thing funny,” said Olie. “We must
look exactly as we always do, or it
won’t look natural. Cheerful, you
know.
Then there was a pause, during
which each little girl tried to fix her
face exactly as it always was, in do
ing so managing to look as unlike
herself as possible.
“How shall we fix our hands ?”
“Oh, the man will fix them the
right way,” said Olie. “And our
^>ads, too, they are screwed up in
a queer kind of a thing to keep
them still.”
Kitty felt still more sure of being
scared, and her face took on a dole
ful look, which promised poorly for
a cheerful picture.
The day was the first bright one
after a number of cloudy ones, and
they found ssveral sitters before
them. Others followed, as they
waited for an hour or more, among
them a boy, a queer,awkward look
ing fellow, they thought, very bash
ful and ill at ease. He fidgeted and
fussed as if waiting was very hard
work for him, anti at last spoke a
few words to the busy artist, who
turned to those who waited for a
sitting, and said, “Here is a young
gentleman who wants his picture
taken and cannot wait. Is anyone
willing to give up their sitting to
him and wait longer?”
No one seemed ready to do so. A
farmer, who had his family there,
said something about its being hard
lor him to get them all into town,
and one or two others spoke of their
time being valuable. So the man
beckoned to Madge, and she went
to take her place behind the screen,
saying to her sisters, “Of course we
couldn’t wait.”
“No, indeed-? said Olie; “we can
only come on Saturday, and as we’re
going to spend the day with Aunt
An ie, it would make us too late.”
“But I »-u sorry for that poor
•oy,” said Jts-ie, looking towards
iini as lie prepared to go. “lie
,eems to feel so badly abuot it.
Look! there are tears in bis eyes.”
“Pooh! Such a great fellow to
ry about a little thing like that!
Look, Jessie, the man wants you
next.”
But Jessie remembered some
things she had heard about Christ’s
little ones denyiug themselves in
order to do a kindness to others.
The four had looked forward for
sometime to this thing of having
their pictures taken. It would be
something of a trial to wait. But
she felt sure The boy muse have
some much more serious reason for
lesiring haste. .So, when Olie
gave her a little push, she called to
him, as he was going out of the
door, “Stop! You can take my
turn.”
“Jessie, what do you mean ?” said
Olie, impatiently, as the boy, with
a very bright look of gratitude to
ward her, went in to take his sit
ting. “Don’t you know you can’t
have your picture taken till next
Saturday?
“Yes, I know it, but never mind.”
“And after Bridget took such
tiouble doing up our best dresses!”
said Madge.
And yours won’t be nice and
fresh then,” said Olie.
Jessie could not help feeling that
the sacrifice was a serious one, but
in a few minutes the boy came to
her and spoke a word or two of
thanks so very earnestly, and in a
manner so much more gentlemanly
than might have been expected
from one so bashful looking, that
she could not regret what she had
done.
Olie and Kitty took their tarns,
and then the little party went on to
Aunt Annie’s.
"Oh, Annt Annie,” said Aladge,
“we’ve all had our pictnres taken”
“Except Jessie,” interrupted Olie
—“And she might just as well as
not, only there was a boy there who
wanted his taken ’rat, and Jessie
let him have her tarn.”
“And next week we shall send
you all our pictures, expect Jessie’s,
and we don’t know when she can
have hers taken now.”
“But the boy wanted his taken so
badly,” said poor little Jessie, in an
appealing tone, quite overcome at
being found so much fault with.
Aunt Annie asked a few ques
tions about it, and then drew Jessie
very tenderly to her side. “I am
sure,” she said, “that when I do
get Jessie’s picture, it will be the
face of a dear, unselfish little girl,
who has the true Christ-like spirit
of pleasing others before herself.”
And Jessie was fully comforted.
Winter, spring, summer, nearly a
year had passed when our four lit-

bers of a large chur h and Sunday-
school were gathered, besides a tew
strangers.
“I wonder who that boy is,” said
Madge. “I’m sure I have seen him
before, but I cant remember
where.”
“So have I,” said Olie, “and he’s
been looking over this way as if he
knew us.”
“Look,” said Jessie “he’s coming
this way. Ah—I know who he is.”
The boy came near with a very
sweet-faced ladj, who took Jessie’s
hand and looked into her face.
“Edward tells me that this is the
little girl who gave up her turn at
the photograph last summer, in
order to let him have a likeness
taken first. I have a message for
you.”
“Forme?” Jessie looked up with
a wondering smile.
The bey, as if teeiing that some
sort of an introduction was expect
ed of him, managed to say, “This is
my aunt—Airs. Vernon.”
“Let us sit down on the grass,”
said Airs. A’ernon, “while I teii you
why Edward was in such a hurry
that day. His father is a mission
ary on a South Sea island, many,
many thousand miles away. Ed
ward had just arrived in this coun
try, having been sent here to be ed
ucated. He left, his mother in poor
health, and one of her latest re
quests to him was that he should
send her his likeness as soon as pos
sible.
“On the day he met you he was
on his way to us, under appoint
ment to meet, us at a country rail
road station a long distance from
here. It was his only chance to se
cure a picture, and he knew that if
it were not sent by a vessel which
was to sail soon, there might be no
other opportunity for months, for
no regular line touches at their is
land. But, thanks to you, the pic
tures were finished and sent to us
from the artist in time,and reached
that far-off shore to be an unspeak
able comfort to his mother—before
she died.”
A lumpeameinto Jessie’s throat
as she thought of that poor mother
longing lor a slight of the face of
her boy.
“I sent a letter with the pictures,”
continued Mrs. Vernon, “telling her
how it had been obtained through
the kindness of a little girl whose
name, even, we did not know. And
she sent a message of love and
thanks to you, and this little thing
which she wished you to keep as a
reminder of the great happiness
you secured to others by an act of
self-denial.”
“But it was such a little thing!”
said Jessie.
‘Almost all the kindness in the
world comes in little things, dear.
Very few of us have opportunity
for doing great things, but little
kindnesses are the blessings of ev
ery hour.”
She was unwrapping a small box,
from which she took a little curi
ously carved and polished bracelet,
which she clasped on Jessie’s arm,
saying, “It is the work of the na
tives oCthe island, and is a curiosi
ty in this country. Edward has al
ways felt sure he would see you
again, and has watched for you ever
since we came here on a visit.”
“Oh, dear, I’m so glad I did it,”
said Jessie, with tears in her eyes.
“And so glad I know. I wish we
could always know how it will come
out when we try to do right.”
“We cannot always know, dear
child. The great Master, who or
ders the smallest things in our lives
in highest wisdom and tenderest
love, in many cases does not permit
us here to know the blessings we
may have worked. But we can al
ways be sure that no act of loving
kindness fails to do its full share in
making the world sweeter, and
brighter, and better.”
“More like heaven,” whispered
little Jessie to herself.—Congrega-

Harper’s Magazine for April is
as novel and fresh as tbe spring
time. Three new and important
serial stories are begun. One of
these,“The Pilgrimage,’’which opens
the number, is a story of Ameri
can life and character as seen at
our summer resorts, written by
Charles Dudley Warner, and brill
iantly illustrated by Charles 8
Reinhart This first part in Mr.
Warner’s best style, and has for its
background Fortress Monroe, Cape
May, and Atlantic City. “Spring-
haven” is the title of a new novel
by R. D. Blackmore. It is a pic
ture of rural English life in the
days of Admiral Nelson, and the
events of those days are certain, in
Blackmore’s narrative, to develop
interesting characters and to re
awaken iu the author’s countrymen
the old English spirit manifested
at Trafalgar. Air. Blackmore’s
novel is illustrated by Frederick
Barnard and Alfred Pars' n-=. One
of Mr. Parsons’ drawings, •• I'he fair

gels,” is continued, and will be con
cluded in the May number.
