A THEOLOGICAL POSER.

The Rev. John McNeill was recently holding a revival service at Cardiff, Wales, and announced that he would answer any questions about the Bible. At once a note was sent up to him, reading as follows:

“Dear Mr. McNeill—If you are seeking to help ‘young men, kindly tell me who was Cain’s wife.”

That seemed a poser, and the audience waited with intense interest, tempered with amusement, to see how the good man would extricate himself. After a pause he said:—

“I love young men, especially young inquirers for ‘light, and I would give this young man a word of ‘advice. It is this: Don’t lose your soul’s salvation ‘looking after other people’s wives!”—Epworth Herald.
