Sam Jones' Account of his Call to Preach.

I was called to preach the very week. I was converted. Now, I didn't think I had auy of tlio .preacher in me. 1 • never have'thought so yet, and then I ■ was a lawyor and practising my profession, and I thought I could make something wallowing among jurie.«, while I could not preaching. But 1 talked to some good men about tho matter, and they all said I'd cither have to go into the work, or Imi whipped into it, or lose ray religion. Well, that last got me. Lose my religion I I'd seen so many n religious life begin and die, and I'd rather die myself than lose my religion. I would, I would, So Imade up my wind at once and I wont to niy wife and told her I was going to join tho North G cor»ia Conference, and she said—'look here, Mr Jones, when I married you I married a lawyer, umf I'll nover bo an itinerant Methodist . preacher's wife in this world, never! So, if ypu join tin: North Georgia Conference you'll gf without me. 'But wife,' lsaid, " tho Lord has called me to preach the Gospel, and He'll remove obstacles from my way,' 'Well,' said she, "He'll have lo removo me then." That looked pretty hare, now didn't it? But I had my mind mndo up; I did not have any tronblo about that. 1 just said— " I'll join tho North Georgia Conference and preach in it, if my wifo never speaks to me again," 1 thought may beshe'd change her mind, but bless yonr life she grew firmer, and tho time for the Conference approached and sl;c didn't relent. At last, tho night before I was to leavo homo, if I joined the Conference came, and my wife and I talked lone; and earnestly, that night, and finally she said—- ' Husband, as sure as you take tho train for Atlanta in the morning, I'll lake the north-bound train for my father's. 1 And I said —'Wife, my mind is made up, and I'll join the Conference and preach tho Gospel if 1 have to go travelling about nil over the country an old grass widower. 1 Well, I was a good while getting to sleep that night; biit I went to sleep after a while. Somo time in the night my wife called to me, and she was suffering terribly—l don't know wlrcl was the matter with her. I got up and gave her something—l dont know what—and she got better. In themorning at six, she waked mo, standing by the bed with a lamp, and said—- ' Husband, get up and get ready; tho train will soon be here,' And I looked up {into her face and said—- ' Wife, what's come over the spirit of your dreams /What does this mean! She said nevermind jyougetupand get ready, and I'll tell you after a while.' At breakfast she said 'You know when I called you in . the night? You know I said that if the Lord made you an itinerant preacher He'd have to remove mo; well, just then when I called you I was in the very agonies of death, and I just ■cried out, "Lord, save my life, ami I'll make the very best itinerant preiicher's wife I can,' And she's done it, to, overy bit of it for thirteen years now.
