      THE NEW MINISTER'S GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

      By Heman White Chaplin 1887

      First published in the Century Magazine.

      The minister's got a job, said Mr. Snell.

      Mr. Snell had been driven in by a shower from the painting of a barn, and was now sitting, with one bedaubed overall leg crossed over the other, in Mr. Hamblin's shop.

      Half-a-dozen other men, who had likewise found in the rain a call to leisure, looked up at him inquiringly.

      How do you mean? said Mr. Noyes, who sat beside him, girt with a nail-pocket. 'The minister 's got a job'? How do you mean? And Mr. Noyes assumed a listener's air, and stroked his thin yellow beard.

      Mr. Snell smiled, with half-shut, knowing eyes, but made no answer.

      How do you mean? repeated Mr. Noyes; 'The minister's got a job'—of course he has—got a stiddy job. We knew that before.

      Very well, said Mr. Snell, with a placid face; seeing's you know so much about it, enough said. Let it rest right there.

      But, said Mr. Noyes, nervously blowing his nose; you lay down this proposition: 'The minister's got a job.' Now I ask, what is it?

      Mr. Snell uncrossed his legs, and stooped to pick up a last, which he proceeded to scan with a shrewd, critical eye.

      Narrer foot, he said to Mr. Hamblin.

      Private last—Dr. Hunter's, said Mr. Hamblin, laying down a boot upon which he was stitching an outer-sole, and rising to make a ponderous, elephantine excursion across the quaking shop to the earthen water-pitcher, from which he took a generous draught.

      Well, Brother Snell, said Mr. Noyes,—they were members together of a secret organization, of which Mr. Snell was P. G. W. T. F.,—"ain't you going to
