He Gave His Last $5 to the Lord

A missionary agent thus relates this incident in the life of a poor physician:

“I preached a missionary sermon in the town of, and

a physician subscribed and paid five dollars. A gentleman standing by told me that the five dollars was all he had, or was worth; that he had lost his property and paid up his debts, and moved into town to commence practicing, with no other resources than that five-dollar bill. He and his wife were obliged to board out, as he was not able to keep house.

“I resolvedj at once, that I would keep watch of that man, and see what Ihe Lord would do with him. About a year after this interview, I visited the place again, and found the physician keeping house in good style.

“During the Summer,, while the cholera raged in the country, by a series of events, guided, as he believes, by the providence of God, most of the practice was thrown into his hands, and he had taken more than $2,500.”
