A Good One on the Preacher.

They tell a good story of a recent revival meeting In one of the rural districts of Whitefield County, Ga. In the middle of the services the preacher said: “Will Brother Smith please lead in prayer?” Seven men arose and began praying at once. This embarrassed the preacher and he said hurriedly: “I mean Brother John Smith.” At this announcement one sat down and five more got up and began praying. The preacher saw his mistake, but said noth* lug and let the eleven men pray It out among themselves.
