Hen Dr. Chalmers was called to the chair of Moral Phil Osophy in the University of St. Andrews, a plain shoemaker in his congregation is said to have remonstrated earnestly against his going. It seemed to him out of all question for so great a preacher to exchange a congregation of a thousand souls for a class of boys in a University. The Doctor, having great respect for the Opinion of his humble friend, made ineffectual effort to bring him to see the matter in a different light, until he put this question to him: Which does the most good, the man who makes the salt or the man who salts the sheep? His friend replied The man who makes the salt. Very well, said Dr. Chalmers, I have been salting you sheep in Glasgow for several years, and now I go to St. Andrews to make salt to salt all the sheep in Scotland. His friend seemed convinced by the argument.
