It should undoubtedly have been a consolation to any rector to possess Mr. Atterbury's unqualified approval, to listen to his somewhat delphic compliments, heralded by a clearing of the throat. He represented the faith as delivered to the saints, and he spoke for those in the congregation to whom it was precious.
Charity bends down only to lift others up. And with all our works, our expenditure and toil, how many have we lifted up?" Gordon Atterbury's indignation got the better of him. For he was the last man to behold with patience the shattering of his idols. "I think you have cast an unwarranted reflection on those who have built and made this church what it is, Mr. Hodder," he exclaimed.
She bade her mother send her certain gowns and smocks by old Lockwood; she sent her duty to a certain Person, if certain other persons permitted her to take such a freedom; how that, as she was not able to play cards with him, she hoped he would read good books, such as Doctor Atterbury's sermons and "Eikon Basilike:" she was going to read good books; she thought her pretty mamma would like to know she was not crying her eyes out.
