John Cross was none of those sorry and self-constituted representatives of our eternal interests, who deluge us with a vain, worthless declamation, proving that virtue is a very good thing, religion a very commendable virtue, and a liberal contribution to the church-box at the close of the sermon one of the most decided proofs that we have this virtue in perfection.
His accounts were noted, without the loss of a day, through his entire life, and every item of personal expense was separately stated. We often find entries like these: "11 d. paid to the barber," "4 d. for whetting penknife," and "1s. put in the church-box." On the 4th of July, 1776, we find: "pd. Sparhawk, for a thermometer, £3 15s. pd. for 7 prs. women's gloves, 27s. gave, in charity, 1s. 6d."
Herbert had asked him what had become of the money, and John told him, with a sort of shame, that he had thrust it into the church-box "I could not touch the price of blood," he said.
