Lost His Job by Telling the Truth.

A preacher in lowa lost his pulpit for telling the truth. He was a forcible preacher, but deficient in educacation and occasionally committed some grave misdemeanors in grammar. 6ne Sunday while speaking rapidly he made a gross assault on. Bindley Murray. No sooner had the sentence escaped his lips than he stopped an<Tsaid: “I am aware that my education is deficient. I regret that I did not have the advantage of good schools when a boy. If I had been more fortunate I would now be preaching to a more intelligent congregation.” The minister told the truth, but it wqs the last time he preached in that church.—Boston Advertiser.
