ALL OUR CASH.

HERE is a true anecdote and one showing us a very practical way of testing the character of our Christian profession. An old Methodist preacher once offered the following prayer in prayer-meeting: "Lord, help us to trust thee with our souls." "Amen," was responded by many voices. "Lord, help us to trust thee with our bodies." "Amen," was responded with as much warmth as ever. "Lord, help us to trust thee with all our money;" but to this petition the "Amen" was not forthcoming. Is it not strange that when religion touches some men's pockets it cools their ardor at once and seals their lips? We often hear men talk of the "peace of God in the heart," and to the phrase we raise no objection; but it has often occurred to us that if the "peace of God" could only get in some people's pockets it would be a blessed thing.—Sabbath Reading.
