So long as they continue too young to work, they may be kept constantly in the school; as they grow fit to labour, their attendance on the CATECHIST must gradually lessen, till at length they take their full share of work with the grown Negroes. "A school of this nature was formerly established by the society of Charlestown in South Carolina, about the year 1745, under the direction of Mr.
"We had not much time for amusements," Theo replied, demurely, in spite of her discomfort under the catechism; "but sometimes, on idle days, I read or walked on the beach with the children, or did Berlin-wool work." "What did you read?" proceeded the august catechist. She liked to hear the girl talk.
Stevenson, however, has used the effect so often, and with such telling results, that he may be said to have made it his own. To say nothing of Hyde, who was the very impersonation of deformity, there is the horrid blind Pew, Black Dog with two fingers missing, Long John with his one leg, and the sinister catechist who is blind but shoots by ear, and smites about him with his staff.
"Are there no thunderbolts for these strangers?" asked Jack. "Jupiter is longsuffering to the benighted," returned the catechist. "Upon my word, I could wish I had been less fortunate," said Jack. "For if I had been born benighted, I might now be going free; and it cannot be denied the iron is inconvenient, and the ulcer hurts." "Ah!" cried his uncle, "do not envy the heathen! Theirs is a sad lot!
The Head turned to Radley, who answered with a snap: "Yes, he's plenty of courage; and what's better, he's easily shamed." "Bless me, are you any good whatever at games?" continued the weary catechist. "I can swim a bit, but I'm not much good at anything else." "As he says, he swims a bit," corroborated Fillet. "But I don't know what else he can do."
The literary young man said nothing, but ate trout abstractedly, one eye on his book. The fish had been caught by the anglers in the Loch o' the Threshes, and phrases describing their capture floated from the other end of the table. The young man had a second helping, and then refused the excellent hill mutton that followed, contenting himself with cheese. Not so Dickson and the catechist.
As soon as we had money enough I hoped that with their help we should be able also to build a little church and teacher's house for them here at Kettle Point, and send a catechist to reside among them and teach their children. It was late in the evening when we bade good-bye and drove back to Forest, where we remained for the night and the next morning returned to Sarnia.
One catechist was Richard Williams, a surgeon; the other John Maidment, who was pointed out by the secretary of the Young Men's Association in London; and these seven persons, with their two launches, the Pioneer and the Speedwell, were embarked on board the Ocean Queen, and sailed from Liverpool on the 7th of September, 1850.
She afterwards was the chief means of building a church at Palamcotta, to which Sattianadem became the catechist; and thus was first sown a seed which has never ceased growing, for this district of Tinnevelly has always been the stronghold of Christianity in India. Meantime Swartz's poor friend, the Rajah Tuljajee at Tanjore, was in a deplorable state.
You kamerad wot?" "Kamerad!" the man echoed with an accent of contempt. "I am no German I am French. I have come through the Boche lines to-night with important information which I desire to communicate forthwith to your commanding officer." "Strike me!" his catechist breathed, skeptical. There was a new sound of splashing in the trench. A third voice chimed in: "'Ello? Wot's all the row abaht?"
