The Two Ministers.

THE late Rev. S. Pierce, being one week-day evening in London, and not engaged to preach, asked a friend where he could hear a good sermon. Two places were mentioned. “Well,” said Mr. P——, “tell me the characters of the preachers, that I may choose.” “Mr. D——,” said his friend, “exhibits the orator, and is much admired for his pulpit eloquence. “Well,” said Mr. P——, “and what is the other?” “Why, I hardly know what to say of Mr. C——; he always throws himself in the background, and you see his Master only.” “That’s the man for me, then,” said the amiable Pierce; “let us go and hear him.”
