"The photograph of our last year's graduating class," said the president. "A poor lot, to judge by the faces of them," said the minister. "This, Dr. Dumfarthing, is our new radiographic laboratory; Mr. Spiff, our demonstrator, is preparing slides which, I believe, actually show the movements of the atom itself, do they not, Mr. Spiff?" "Ah," said the minister, piercing Mr.
For it turned out that the "child" of Dr. Uttermust Dumfarthing, so-called by the trustees, was the kind of child that wears a little round hat, straight from Paris, with an upright feather in it, and a silk dress in four sections, and shoes with high heels that would have broken the heart of John Calvin.
"I don't mean that exactly," said the rector; "I mean er hard, bitter, so to speak." "Edward!" exclaimed Juliana, "how can you speak so. Mr. Dumfarthing hard! Mr. Dumfarthing bitter! Why, Edward, the man is gentleness and kindness itself. I don't think I ever met anyone so full of sympathy, of compassion with suffering."
During this time also the congregation of the Reverend Fareforth Furlong was diminishing month by month, and that of the Reverend Uttermust Dumfarthing was so numerous that they filled up the aisles at the back of the church. Here the worshippers stood and froze, for the minister had abandoned the use of steam heat in St. Osoph's on the ground that he could find no warrant for it.
"Juliana," he said, "don't you think that perhaps, on account of Philippa and Tom, you ought or at least it might be best for you to call on Miss Dumfarthing?"

He has had a call a most inviting field of work, he says, a splendid opportunity. They offered him ten thousand one hundred; we were only giving him ten thousand here, though of course that feature of the situation would not weigh at all with a man like Dumfarthing."
"The only thing that I don't understand," said Mr. Newberry to Dr. Dumfarthing should be willing to consent to the amalgamation." "Do you really not know?" said Dr. Boomer. "No." "You have heard nothing?" "Not a word," said Mr. Newberry. "Ah," rejoined the president, "I see that our men have kept it very quiet naturally so, in view of the circumstances. The truth is that the Reverend Mr.
And when he had quite finished, the congregation declared the whole sermon to be mere milk and water. It insulted their intelligence, they said. After which, a week later, the Rev. Dr. Dumfarthing took up the same subject, and with the aid of seven plain texts pulverized the rector into fragments.
