Stablished

Pacific Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Oakland, California · Nov 6, 1879

*'STABLISHED.'—'Father,' remarked a young man, 'try and go to meeting this evening. The sermon will be on the second coming of Christ.'

'No,' said the presbyterian deacon, 'I am 'stabled.'

The next day the deacon and son went to the timber for wood. After the load was on, the deacon ordered the horses to go, but they refused. He asked the boy what the trouble was. He answered,

'Father, they are 'stabled.'

Too many are like the deacon to ever go in at the door. Christians are not bigots.
