WHY SHE DID NOT CRY.

An emotional preacher observed one Sunday that the whole of his congregation, with the exception of one little girl, who sat quite alone, was in tears.
He thereupon directed all his power toward the child, drawing such touching pictures that the rest of the congregation grew more and more overcome, sobbing and crying; but the child still stared at him dry-eyed, and at length he was obliged to give it up and end the sermon.
Meeting the child outside, he upbraided her for her hard-heartedness, and asked her why she did not weep.
"It is not that I am hard-hearted," the child responded, "but I belong to another church." —Selected.
