The Christian Hill.

The difficulties encountered by the faithful Christian were thus described in a prayer offered by a freedman in Georgia: He said, "O Lord, thou knowest how hard it is to do right. It isn't like steppin' on de train and goin' down to Jim Wost's, nor like gettin' in the omnibus and ridin' over to Hodges' station; but it's up hill all de way. O Lord, give us breff to hold out!" A true sentiment, expressed in homely phrase, indeed, but much better than speaking in an unknown tongue; for it was responded to by a hearty "amen."
