Here was Miss Moore bent on trimming the church. And lawyer Laicus was to go in Deacon Goodsole's sleigh with the son of the President of the Board of Trustees to get the "trimmings." He who dares to complain after that enlists two dignitaries and one very respectable layman against him at the outset. "Very well," said I, "I will go." "Go!" said Miss Moore, "of course you'll go.
Argure.: Most certainly it does, sir. The apostle is very explicit on that point, very explicit. And I hold, sir, that for women to preach, or to speak in public, or in the prayer-meeting of the church, is a direct violation of the plain precepts of the inspired word. Laicus.: I wonder you have any women teach in your Sabbath School? Or have you turned them all out? Mrs.
Then he pointed to the dead boy who lay on the lounge before us. "How can I reconcile this with the love of God?" he cried. "How can you, Mr. Laicus?" All bitterness was gone now. He looked me earnestly in the eye, and asked eagerly, as one who longed for a solution, and yet was in despair of finding it. "I cannot," I answered, "and dare not try. If I had only life's book to read, Mr.
Gear her radiant hope. No! Mr. Gear. It is you who have been dreaming, and life's sorrow has awakened you." "Mr. Laicus," he cried almost passionately, "I said I believed in nothing. But it is not true. I have no creed. I do not even believe in God or immortality any more. I have no God. I am without hope. But I believe in my wife. I believe in you.
Laicus; certainly no professed disciple of the Lord. The work of the church, Mr. Laicus, is before every other work in its transcendant importance. Laicus.: I don't know about that. Seems to me, I have seen somewhere that if a man does not provide for his own family he is worse than an infidel. Dr.
Laicus he might depend on having $1,500 a year; but he was not satisfied with my assurance-he wanted yours. I hope he is satisfied." "Excuse me," said I, "if I seem unreasonable, but I am not satisfied; and I should certainly have been so with Mr. Wheaton's assurance. I never doubted that he was good for $1,500 a year.
Wheaton the other day, after thinking the whole matter over, and taking counsel with Jennie about it. "Oh! go ahead," said Mr. Wheaton. "Tell him we'll pay him $1,500 and a parsonage. The church will back you, Mr. Laicus." "And if the church don't," said I, "will you pay the deficit?" Mr. Wheaton shook his head, very decidedly.
FIVE or six weeks ago Maurice came to me in some excitement. "Mr. Laicus," said he, "is it true that ten of you gentlemen have to contribute thirty dollars a piece this year to make up my salary?" "No," said I. "Why, John," said Jennie. "We didn't have to do it," I continued. But in point of fact we do it." "I don't like that," said he soberly.
Laicus.: He declines to come. Declines to come. Why a church mouse would starve on the pittance they pay him at Koniwasset Corners. What's his reason? Laicus.: His letter is a rather singular and striking one, gentlemen. Perhaps I had better read it.
Jennie.: That is if he cannot well do both. Laicus.: Yes of course. If he can do both, that is very well. Dr. Argure.: That's a very dangerous doctrine Mr. Laicus. If it is true it is not dangerous. The truth is never dangerous. Dr. Argure.: The truth is not to be spoken at all times. Deacon Goodsole.: That's a very unnecessary doctrine, Dr., to teach to a lawyer. Dr. Consider, Mr.
