A New Heart

A RESPECTABLE female once called on Rowland Hill, expressing a wish to unite with the church. He at first misunderstood her state of mind. Among other questions, he put the following, "Have you a good heart?" She replied, "I hope I have, sir." Mr. Hill called the attention of a friend to the reply, and said, "Come see a wonderful woman, who has a good heart. I'm sure it's more than I can say." The worthy female was much affected, but most judiciously answered, "I trust, sir, I have a new heart; and I did not think it wrong to call the work of the Holy Ghost a good work." This remark touched Mr. Hill, who immediately apologized in the most Christian manner for having wounded her feelings.—Rowland Hill's Life.
