But I was daown on my luck agin; fer at the fust word I spoke of merryin', she showed me the door, an' give me to understan' that she couldn't think er hevin' a man that warn't a church-member, that hadn't experienced religion, or even ben struck with conviction, an' all the rest on't.
In the meantime we will give you all the assistance that you may need, and every convenience that science can afford." Miss Church-Member wept tears of gratitude at this proffered kindness, and began to feel that this dark intruder was a friend with a rough exterior but a warm and congenial heart.
Now try your skill," he added with more sneer than sympathy in his voice. She did not tarry to resent his attitude, but quickly went to the woman and asked her to pause a moment. "Are you willing to be saved from destruction?" earnestly asked Miss Church-Member. "I am safe enough," was the indifferent reply. "You are now walking rapidly toward an awful death," were her further words of warning.
"The greatest thing in the world!" he said after a period of ecstatic silence. "The church that gets such a singer into its choir will have a packed house at every service." "I never so much as dreamed of such a thing before. Have any of the churches yet tried the experiment?" wonderingly asked Miss Church-Member. "The time has not yet come," replied the manager.
Does nobody pose in public, especially about election times, as a liberal supporter of Churches and a devout Church-member, with an eye mainly to votes? Do political parties think it a good thing to get the religious people to go for their ticket?

"And what think you of Miss Church-Member?" I continued. "She is a fine character," spoke Blackana as a hideous grin spread over his face.
Town-meetin' days, if he got disappointed about the way things went, he'd lay 'em out in win'rows; and ef he hadn't been a church-member he'd been a real fightin' character. I was always 'fraid to have him roused, for all he was so willin' and meechin' to home, and set round clever as anybody. My Susan Ellen used to boss him same's the kitten, when she was four year old."
We have several thousand regulations covering every phase or avenue of life." "What I have just now heard are certainly not as iron-clad as the rules of my church. Nothing is said of conversion, or spirituality, or of the Holy Spirit, or of the other Persons of the Trinity," commented Miss Church-Member.
Then, adjusting his green spectacles, the speaker opened the Bible and offered to explain, or to have explained, any part of it that bore on the subject of "Temperance from a Bible Standpoint." A breathless silence followed until a moderate-drinking church-member arose with Bible in hand. "Did Christians, during the life of Christ, drink wine?" he asked, in a self-righteous manner.
World and his associate, however, did not enter this place, but passed on through the entire Merry Village. On each side of the way they saw an endless variety of gaudy advertisements, each one setting forth some leading feature of some frivolous, indecent, or gay performance. Miss Church-Member was not tempted as was her companion to spend time at such places.
