From Prayer to Laughter.

A revival meeting was in progress and Sister Jones was called upon for testimony, according to the -Cleve--land Leader. Being meek and humble, she said: ‘‘l do not feel as tho I should stancl here and give testimony. I have been a transgressor lor a good many years and have only recently seen the light, I believe that my place is In a dark corner behind the door.” Brother Smith was next called upon for his testimony and, following the example set by Sister Jones, said: "I, too, have been a sinner for more than forty years, and I do not think it would be fitting for me to stand before this assembly as a model. I t&ihk my placeTa 'Behind' tfieT (Toor, in a dark corner with Sister Jones.” And he wondered why the meeting was convulsed vrith the laughter of those who came up to pray.
