Halpin was pretty generally deprecated as an intellectual black sheep who was likely at any moment to disgrace the flock by bleating in meter.

Master, it is well to listen to thee, Jacob interrupted, for none knows sheep like thee, but as none will ever give me charge of a flock again, thy teaching is wasted upon me. Look to the ewes' teeth, Jacob, and to their udders; see that the udders are sound. Master, never before didst thou mock at me, who am for my misfortunes the mocking-stock of all these fields. In what have I done wrong?
John lived in a distant country, counting himself too feeble now to cross the seas. The daughters, the younger members of this flock, were passing into advanced years. The mother sat by her fireside, and smiled softly to herself as she watched the dancing flame, and thought that her young lover would return on the morrow. The days went on.
They dispersed about the room, reminding me, by the lightness and buoyancy of their movements, of a flock of white plumy birds.

While disclaiming interference in secular matters, he watched the tendencies of his flock from a sound point of view, and especially encouraged them to support the existing order of things the British Empire and the English Church. His cure was hereditary, and he fortunately possessed some private means, for he had a large family.
Of course, as you turn to the right, King and Cousin Ethel will count most of the vehicles we pass; but we'll make up some other way. Oh, here's a flock of chickens! I forgot to tell you, chickens count one each." The motor seemed to go right through the flock of chickens, but Cousin Jack was a careful driver and didn't harm one of them.
If I were not willing to die, My friends would not be justified, and would doubt Me. A good shepherd must lay down his life for his flock." "Master," said Thomas, and his voice trembled, "not when you live; only when you die, could we doubt you." Then Jesus looked sadly round the circle, and said: "One among you doubts Me, though I live." "What do you mean by that, Lord?" asked Judas.
