Satan Outflanked.

A MERCHANT, who was an infidel, went South every winter to dispose of his goods. During his absence, there was a revival of religion in the place where he lived, and his wife was converted and joined the M. E. church. When the husband returned, before he even reached home, he was told of what had occurred, and though he had been absent several months, he met his wife very coolly; and after a little time, asked her into another room, and set a chair for her, and then said, “I hear you have experienced religion, and joined the M. E. Church.”
Putting her hand on his shoulder, she said, “that is just what I have done.”
“Well,” he replied, “that beats the devil.”
“Yes,” she answered, “that is just what I intended to do.”
In less than six weeks, through her example, he was led to the Saviour, and joined the church.—Guide to Holiness.
