claimed the nnw abashed preacher---sprlnging
from the bed" Y0t haze had no supper ]
will instantly call up the family. Why did you
not tell us who you were 2"


.sSlop-stor, my friend" said the Bishop
gravely, al want no supper here, and should not
eat any if it were got for me. If an old man,
toilworn and weary, faintng with travelling
through all the long summer day, was not con
sidered worthy of meal by this family, who
profess to have set up the altar OF God In this
house, Bishop George surely is not tie is, at
best, but man, and has no claims beyond COM
mon humanity"


A night of severer notification, the young
minister had never experienced The Bishop
kindly admonished him, and warned him of the
great necessity there was Of his adorning the
doctrines of Christ by following him sincerely
and humbly. Gently bnt earnestly he endeavor-
ell 10 win him back from his wanderings of heart,
and direct him to trust more in God and less in
his own strength


In the morning the Bishop prayed with him,
long and fervently, before he left the chamber;
and was glad to see his heart melted in contr-
ton. Soon after the Bishop descended, and was
met by the heads of the family with thousand
sincere apologies. He mildly slenced them, and
asked to have his horse brought out The horse
was accordingly soon in readiness, and the Bish
op, taking up his saddle bags, was preparing to
depart.


Bit surely, Bishop" urged The distressed
malron, lyon will not leave us? Wait few
ninutes-5reakfast is on the table,


'.No sister L., cannot take breakfast here.
You did not consider poor toll worn traveller
worthy of meal and your Bishop has no claim
but snch as humanity urges"


And thus he departed, leaving the family and
minister in confusion and sorrow. He did not
act thus from resentment, for such an emotion
did not rise in his heart, but he desired to teach
them lesson such as they would not easily for
get.


Six months from this time, the Ohio Annual
Conference met at Cincinnati, and the young
minister was to present himself for ordination as
a Deacon, and Bishop George was to be the pre-
siding Bishop.


On the first day Of the assembling of the Con-
ventiOn, our minister heart sunk within him as
he saw the venerable Bishop take his seat. So
great was his grief and agitation. that he was
soon Obliged to leave the room. That evening,
as the Bishop was seated alone in his chamber,
the Rev. Mr.. -- was announced, and he re-
quested him to be shown up. He grasped the
young the Young man by he hand with a cor
diality which he did not expect, for he had made
careful inquiries, and found that since they had
before, great change had been wrought in him.
He was now as humble and pions, as he was mel
before worldly minded. As father would have
received disobedient but repenlanl child 81 did
this good man receive his erriny bui contlte bro
ther. They mingled their tears together, while
the young preacher wept as a child upon The bo
som Of his spiritual father. At that session he
was ordained, and is now one Of the most pious
and useful ministers in the Ohio Conference.
