And so minute after minute slipped by; and Miss Williams, sitting in her place by the window, already saw, dotting the Links, group after group of the afternoon church-goers wandering quietly home so quietly, so happily, fathers and mothers and children, companions and friends for whom was no parting and no pain. Mr. Roy suddenly took out his watch.
Pshaw! one might as well ask their story from the deaf and dumb. But that they were dumb, there was hint of a tragedy in that! Everybody stopped to speak to the Doctor. He had been but a few months in the place; but the old church-goers had found him out as a passionate, free-and-easy, honorable fellow, full of joke and anecdote, shrewd, too.
He was the only man among all the creditors, who made his church membership a prominent thing few of them were even church-goers and the only man who did not readily make concessions to the poor, down-trodden debtors. "Is he a Christian?" I asked, as I walked home in some depression of spirits, from the last of these meetings. And I could but answer No for to be a Christian is to be Christ-like.
And my shadow answered, 'But I only know that steeples are of phallic origin. And my shadow wept, wept ludicrously, clinging to the steeple where church-goers knelt beneath him." "Now, and indeed that must have been disconcerting, Messire Merlin. Still, as you got your shadow back again, there was no great harm done.
He that despises Christ, Christ will despise him; and say not to yourselves, as many do, We are church-goers we are all safe.
Greyshot was an idle place; the church seemed asleep, a drowsy indifference hung about the richer inhabitants, while the honest workers not unnaturally banded themself together against the sleepily respectable church-goers, and secularism and one or two other "isms" made rapid advances. Then sleepy orthodoxy lifted its drowsy head for a minute, noted the evil, and abused Mr.
It might be no longer possible for a Louis the Fifteenth to ask God's blessing when he went to debauch a young girl in the Parc aux Cerfs, or for a grave philosopher like Mr. Tylor to write in his Anthropology that "in Europe brigands are notoriously church-goers." Yet morality might gain as much on the practical side as it lost on the mystical, and we fancy mankind would profit by the change.
When they came to the forest heights they had to pass by a huge stone which had been hurled at Svartsjö Church, by a giant down in Frykerud, but which, luckily, had gone over the steeple and dropped here on Snipa Ridge. When the church-goers came along, the stone lay, as usual, on the ground.
Governor Wiseman, our grave friend at tea, broke in upon us at this moment and said: I am not fond of indiscriminate hand-shaking, and so am not especially troubled by the lack of cordiality on the part of church-goers. But I am sometimes very much annoyed on Sabbaths with the habit of some good people in church.
There was an evening service that night, and we all went to church. Mother let Sel take the empty seat in the carryall beside her. It was very dark when we started to come home. But Creston was a safe old Orthodox town, the roads were filled with returning church-goers like ourselves, and mother drove like a man. A darker night I think I have never seen.
