Practice and Preaching.

When the late Bishop Hare was presiding over a Methodist Episcopal Church in New York City a large reception was given in his honor towhich a brother of his, a lawyer, whoclosely resembled the bishop, was invited. During the evening a member of the conference who had never paet thebishop’s brother approached him and,, shaking him warmly by the hand, said: “Good evening, Bishop Hare. I greatly enjoyed the sermon you gave us today. It is just what this church needs.’” “You are mistaken in the person,” said the brother, smiling, as he pointed to the bishop on the opposite side of the room, “that is the man whopreaches. I practice.”
