Power of Humor.

The following anecdote illustrating Henry Ward Beecher's power of using humor for argument is related in the Youth’s Companion: “On one occasion a man in the congregation asked, ‘lf a man is a good father and a good husband, but never reads the Bible, where will he go when he dies?’ ‘l'm sure I don’t know,’ Beecher replied, ‘but wherever he goes he has my best wishes.’ ”
