SAMPLES.
A minister who had been doing missionary work in India recently returned to London for a visit. He was a guest at a well-known hotel, where everything pleased him except the absence of the very torrid sauces and spices to which he had been accustomed in the Far East. Fortunately he had brought with him a supply of his favourite condiments, and by arranging with the head waiter these were placed on his table. One day another guest saw the appetizing bottle on his neighbour's table and asked the waiter to give him some of " that sauce."
" I'm sorry, sir," said the waiter, " but it is the private property of this gentleman." The minister, however, overheard the other's request and told the waiter to pass the bottle. The stranger poured some of the mixture on his plate and took a liberal mouthful. After a moment he turned with tears in his eyes to the minister.
" You're a minister of the Gospel?" " Yes, sir." " And you preach the doctrine of everlasting fire ? " " Yes," admitted the minister. " Well, you're the first minister I ever met who carried samples."
