I was taught to worship the gods in my juvenile days; but ever since I arrived at years of thought and judgment, my mind has been greatly perplexed by what seemeth to me to be glaring inconsistencies in our theory of religion." "Praised be the name of Jehovah, under whose direction thou comest at this time to seek knowledge!
The subject was discussed in the village stores and in the juvenile debating club; it was prayed over in conference; and finally in general "society's meeting," in December, the stove was carried by a majority of one and was introduced into the meeting-house.
From his juvenile point of view, it was a fate that a good fellow like Bonner did not deserve. Even Rosalie was not good enough for him, so he told Bud Long; but Bud, who had worshipped Rosalie with a hopeless devotion through most of his short life, took strong though sheepish exceptions to the remark.

I occupied the wagon, my more juvenile companions lying on the ground beneath it.

The town of Warrenton is situated on the banks of the Vaal River, and is forty-three miles north of Kimberley.
