Tho other indication of n call to the’Jflin.stry
is a special desire for the work. 3kfl Christiene
are expeoleil to have the general desire lo be
nseful in tbc Master’s service. Whatever they
do, they wish the tenor and infiuence of their
live» to be in favor of Christianity. The min¬
ister is expected to hove the speoial deeiro to
be useful in the ministry. Ho is not to become
a proacher because, on the whole, he thinks he
oould do more good by preaehing than ia bdj
other way, tut because tho persietent and con¬
trolling leanings of hfs soul aro in that direc-

Convention, and be ‘and ali bis bod been made

lfo wns baptized.' ' Iu IKeJoonree af 'time he
began to exhort and ten oh his neighbor» on the
Lord's day, as opportunity 'offered. Finally he
was recognized by the people generally as a
preacher, and was regularly ordained to the
Wvjk of the ministry. ;
The fame of Rider William Thornton «tended
beyond his own neighborhood. He was knowYt
as a pious, earnest, self-sacrfeijng man, and
the people always heard; him with profit. In
his now vocation, hU farm, wa» a- clog and
weight to him.' Frequent
ооДв
from home ren¬
dered it impanible for him 'to attend to Me
business, and
Ыв
worldly interests w re suffer¬
ing. He knew it and felt it, but sympathy for
the destitute, who looked to him for 'he bread
of life, was a stronger motive then worldly
gain or comfort. Ho must preach, even if bis
farm should be uncultivated.
And yet it did not ncem to Mm right that hie
family should go unprovid*d_for. if hat was
he to do ? The peoplc-were too ntooh scattered
and the Christians too few and poor to eupport
him aa a preacher. He heard of the Domestic

Some months ago, fho vcnorahlo lieye Illeck-

on our mail book, and receiving occasional notes
or metaages fromT him, we felt that we knew
him. R'o learned grontly to admiro hie ripe
nnd beautiful Christian character, cud had a
reek sense of lee# when be was taken away.
His daughter, who has inherited. Or rather
learned, from the same bloctod source his love
for Christ, writes to Dr. Tuppcr :
"Pind enolosed ten dollars for Foreign ‘^1 le¬

There was great rejoiciDg in Elder Thorn Ion’s

vide them with groceries and such plain cloth¬

Elder Thornton preached with great power
acceptance. Three little churches had
gathered and organised, ana the founda¬

however, Mrs. Tbornloo’a quick eyedis-
tbat all wae not right with her husband.
He was nothing like so ohcerfnl, frequently
sighed deeply, and seemed lost in thought.
IVbcn eh© asked him wlint woe the metier, he

••Nothing.”
•* My dear,” said Mrs. Thornton, ‘‘what did
that young man from Mr. Samson’s store want
to-day ? ”
Mr.. Thornton blushed a little, as he answered,
" Ha just crime on a little matter of bustnees.”
She could not imagine what matter of busi¬
ness it could be that should so worry her hus¬
band.
ав
that evidently did. Tbe next week
31#. Samson himself rode over. Mr. Tiiorntor
met him politely, but seemed embarrassed.
Mr. Samson waa
я
man of business, and imme¬
diately made bis business known.
Mr. Thornton, ” said he, "I am sorry lo
trouble you about that bill, but it has
a long time now, and my oroditore aro
mo. You promised to loi mo have the
in October, and then again in January, and
now it is the last of March, end I have not got
my money yet.'’
Sirs. Thornton heard this. She wo« a good
and a proud-spirited woman, and dreaded debt
aa a eort of dishonor. Her face flushed and
burned like fire. Mr. Thornton answered in
а
subdued voice, “ Mr. Samson, I certainly did
expect to pay you long boforc this. My salary
is long since dne, and f have been everyday
expecting that at least some part of it would be
paid.”
"51y oi editors will not be pat off with ex¬
portations, Mr. Thornton. Expectations do not
pay debt*,” oaid Mr. Samson. "I bare rode
over to eve if you ooultl.net arrange the matter
1ft aome way. Ferhap* ynn coo’d give ate yoor
