Saul, the Son of Kish
Three bright smart-Alecky
young chaps were walking along
the street one mqrning whey met
an aged, decrepit minister with
long hair and beard. Desiring
to poke fun at the old gentleman,
the first one called out: ‘‘Hello,
Father Abraham!” The second
one said, ‘‘Hello, Father* Isaac!”
The third said, ‘‘Hello, Father
Jacob!” The minister quietly
replied: “I am neither Abra
ham, nor Isaac, nor Jacob, but
Saul, the son of Kish, who went
forth to hunt his father’s asses,
and behold I have found them.”

“Refused”
“Refused notice.” Every ed
itor has received them. The post
master sends them to the editor.
For instance, there is a man by
the name of John Blank, who re
fuses to take his paper out of the
post office. He did not want it
any longer, and we wanted to
know what was the matter. Up
on investigation of our subscrip
tion book we found that John was
short $2.70. He stopped the pa
per as a matter of economy to us.
One evening we went to church
and John’s melodious voice rang
out lcud and clear in that soul
stirring song, “Jesus Paid it All”
We might have been mistaken
but his earnestness impressed us.
The next day we sent him a re
ceipt in full, begging his pardon
for not knowing he had made ar
rangements for his liabilities in
this manner.—Ex.
