LEAVING ALL.

By A. S. Hutchins

A CIRCUMSTANCE of the short notice on which two young men left home for the Biblical Institute now in session at South Lancaster, Mass., is mentioned in the Review of Nov. 1. A case similar to this occurred in our State. A brother rode up to the door of one of our young brethren about sundown, announcing, “You have twenty-five minutes in which to get ready, if you go.”
What should be done? This strong young man was in a strait. He was between two fires. Part of the friends were saying, “Go.” His convictions of right said, Go. And so leaving a cow partly milked, and some friends not half reconciled to his departure, with another who had made equally rapid preparations to leave, he took the wings of the evening, hastening miles to the train which should bear them away.
These brethren express their great gratitude for the privileges of the Biblical lectures; and will not God greatly bless such of their friends at home as follow them with their prayers?
