A Congregation of One.

In his younger days tbeßev.Sir Cameron Lees, D. D.. was a Highland mlssioner in a scattered territory. and passing rich on £4O a year. On one occasion on the Sabbath day the windows of heaven opened and there was a deluge on a small scale. The young minister of course was at his post, but only one member of the congregation had the courage to thru- up, an old farmer. Cameron Lees suggested that in view of the terrible weather they should adjourn to bls study and bold their devotions there. . ' "No. no." said the old highlander. "It is written. ’Where two or three are*’ gathered together in my name there am I also.’ You are one and I’m obe. so there’s the two. and we’ll have the service as usual." And there was a service for a congregation of one.— London Globe.
