He suited Coombe; the larger churches of the larger cities he did not suit. Lax opinions, heretical doctrines, outlooks appallingly wide were creeping in everywhere.

Only a very few days more appallingly few to the hearts which had set themselves bravely to hope against hope three weeks, a month later, perhaps, the name of ships under the blight of the "Overdue" heading shall appear again in the column of "Shipping Intelligence," but under the final declaration of "Missing."
No boasting, but I couldn't do a crooked thing No, not if I tried." And so appallingly straight was he in after years, that Mr. Failing wished that he had phrased the promise differently.

Such was "Stonewall" Jackson, America's most victorious general, and as in his case, so in theirs, grace would not rob them of grit, but increase their store.
