—A minister was soliciting aid to foreign missions, and applied to a gentleman, who refused him, with the reply, " I don't believe in foreign missions. I want what I give to benefit my neighbors."

"Well," replied he, " whom do you regard as your neighbors?"

" Why, those around me."

"Do you mean those whose land joins yours?" inquired the minister.

"Yes."

"Well," said the minister, "how much land do you own?

"About five hundred acres."

" How far down do you own?"

" Why, I never thought of it before, but suppose I own about half way through."

"Exactly," said the clergyman; "I suppose you do, and I want this money for the New Zealanders—the men whose land joins yours on the bottom."
