 A Pastor Rewarded

 

Ohio 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.

Daily Corinne Reporter ( Utah newspaper) Feb. 7, 1873
