appreciates faithful pastoral work, -- witness the following --
incident which occurred at Ironton in that State:
A Revival preacher, who had won fame -- his
power in the pulpit came to Ironton for a week's work. -- very
zealous, preached every night, excited considerable interest and was
vehement in his expectations to the ==== of the congregation to come
forward. On the last evening of his labors he out did himself, but
not a person rose to come forward.
Discouraged,
he sat down, whereupon a grave face?, -- town got up and said that
the --- had been working hard and laboring faithfully among them,
and as a token of their appreciation, he moved that the congregated
gave him three cheers! It was done right heartily and that contrite
congregation went quietly home, satisfied that they had fully and
faithfully preformed their duty.
