HOW SOME PERSONS PRACTICE SELF-DENIAL.

By A. S. H.

While reflecting on the expenditures of some persons and families who do but little or nothing for the spread of present truth, the following circumstance comes to mind, which well illustrates how some persons practice self-denial: A minister had been speaking of the duty of each of his hearers to practice some self-denial, and thereby be able to contribute something to the object which he had presented before them. The audience were discussing the matter, and deciding what each one should deny himself of, when a youth resolved to deny himself of pickled herring, as he never had any relish for that article of food.
