Couldn't Be a Hypocrite
By Clifford M. Loveland
A young student at Yale College was once called upon to take the place of principal of the New Britain, Conn., high school, for a short time. He was kindly informed by his associate teacher, that it was the custom to open school every morning with prayer. Altho he was not a Christian, he felt that it was his duty, and he complied accordingly. Finally he said to his associate: "I feel that I am playing the part of a hypocrite. My class at Yale holds its prayer-meeting to-morrow evening, and I have half a mind to go down there." His associate urged him to go, and offered to open up school the next morning. This young man went, told his story in a manly way, was converted, and as a result a revival sprang up in which eighty students were led to Christ.
