A SPURGEON RUSE.
Spurgeon, the famous English divine,
once passed a stone, mason who, after
each stroke of his hammer, cursed and
swore. Mr. Spurgeon laid his hand on his
shoulder and looking kindly at him said:
"You are an adept at swearing. Can you
also pray?" With another oath he re
plied, "Not very likely. " Holding up 5
shillings, Mr. Spurgeon said if he would
promise never to pray he would give him
that. 1
"That is easily earned," said the man
with a fresh oath, and put it into his
pocket. When Spurgeon left the man
began to feel a little queer. When he
went home his wife asked him what ail
ed him, and he told her. "It is Judas'
money," said the man, and on a sudden
impulse he threw7 it into the fire. The
wife found it and took it out and dis
covered who had given it to him. The
man took it back to Spurgeon, who con
versed long with him, warning him, and
at length was the means of saving him.
He became an attracted member of his
flock.
