WHEN HER HUSBAND WAS ANGRY.
A soft answer turneth away wrftth (Golden Text). Not long ago a Hindu woman was converted chiefly by hearing the Word of God read. She suffered very much persecution from her busband. One day a missionary aslted her, "When your husband is angry and persecutes you what do you do?" Shb replied: "Well, sir, I cook his food better; when he complains I sweep the floor cleaner; and when he speakk unkindly I answer him inildly. I try, sir,! to show him that when I became a Christian I became a better wife and £ better mother." The consequenees of this was that, while the husband could witli'taud all the jjreaehing of the misI jsionary, he could not stand tho praer jtical preaching of his wife, and gavej -his heart to God. 1
