BETWEEN TWO EVILS.
The minister of a Highland parish had a strong objection to allowing any stranger to occupy his pulpit, but one day a divinity student from Edinburgh, who was visiting some friends in the parish, called at the manse and asked the minister if he might be allowed to preach on the following Sunday. The minister laid a hand on his shoulder. “My dear young man,” he said, “gin I let ye preach, and ye gie a better sermon than me, my fowk wad never again be satisfied wl’ my preaching; and gin ’ye’re rtae a better preacher than me ye’re no’ worth listening tae!”
