BLOWING HIS TRUMPET.
The Kev. A. B. Gill writes as follows in the Pacific Methodist: —‘Some men think it a great thing to be known all over the world, but I believe I am somewhat , known in three worlds already. There are men on earth who hare heard me preach, there are men in heaven who have heard me preach, and there are men in hell who often reflect over truths that I have announced from backwoods pulpits ;■ and men may deny ■ it if they will, and sneer at it if they like, but one single summer day’s residence in hell will teach Hume, Voltaire, Paine, Bolingbroke, l?,onaii. Tyndall, Huxley, Darwin Ingersoil, Wendell Phillips, and the editors of the San Francisco Chronicle, lessons'which they failed to learn in a whole lifetime on earth.- Experience is a 'school in which the most inapt pupils . may learn.’ Padres, according to their own account,.are terribly familiar with the lower regions as well as with all shades and haunts on earth of vice. Either they obtain their knowledge by touching pitch : or they indent on a toolively imagination.
