By Presbyter

Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
I HAVE SEEN A WOMAN, professing to love Christ more than the world, clad in a silk dress costing $75, making up and trimmings of same, $40; bonnet (or apology for one), $35; velvet mantle, $150; diamond ring, $500; watch, chain, pin, and other trappings, $300; total, $1600—all hung upon one frail, dying worm. I have seen her at a meeting in behalf of homeless wanderers in New York, wipe her eyes upon an expensive embroidered handkerchief at the story of their sufferings, and when the contribution-box came round, take from a well-filled port-monnaie, of costly workmanship, twenty-five cents to aid the society formed to promote their welfare.—Presbyter.
