A colored minister, after reading his text on Sunday, said, "I shall put
the greatest distress of my remarks on the latter clause of the verse."

Another minister said, "At one of my stations there were men who called
themselves conjurers. One of these with his followers went to church to
challenge me. He asked me if I could cast out devils. I told him I
could, and as _he_ was the only man in the house who had a devil, if he
would come up to the stand, I would cast the devil out of him. The
conjurer abused me terribly, became so excited I started down towards
him, and dared him to meet me, and he turned from me and ran out of the
house, so you see if I could not cast the devil out of him, I cast both
him and the devil out of the house."

At another place, he said, the people became very much stirred up
concerning the temperance cause, so much so that many closed their
bar-rooms and took their Jimmy Johns and poured the contents out on the
ground. Said he, "the liquor said _good, good, good_, as it ran out of
the Jimmy Johns, and the people shouted for joy."
