Excerpt from Primitive Christian, 1882, Vol. 20

This was a new experience for me, and not very pleasant. The aged physician was wealthy, and a very popular man in the com munity. He had but recently retired from his practice in the large city, and had come to spend the evening of his life with us. He was social and generous, and we felt we were favored in securing him as a church attendant and supporter. How unfortunate that anything should be said to displease him, and perhaps drive him away. From the service Of the sanctuary] What could I do but leave it with God? I was His servant, and had spoken His message, and felt convinced that 'he would take care of me and the church, and the truth. But what was the result? The next morning the old doctor was seen driving up to the parsonage. The minister was not at home, but his wife was, and she warmly welcomed the visitor into the parlor. Great was her surprise when he exclaimed somewhat abruptly, I like your husband. He is' a courageous young man, who is not afraid to speak the truth, even if it does convict some old sinner like me.
