Show Clergyman's Dream Henry Ward Beecher, the eminent minister and lecturer, was buying a horse, and was listening to a description de-scription of the animal given by its owner. "This horse is perfectly sound," said the man. "He can go any gait walk, pace, trot or gallop. He will stand without hitching and work any place you put him buggy, plow or wagon. He is perfectly gentle, gen-tle, though full of spirit He has no bad traits; will neither bite nor kick; comes when you call him and does not run oS when he sees anything strange." Beecher looked long and admiringly at the animal, and then remarked: "Oh, I wish that horse were a member of my church!" |
