He knew just what weaknesses, longings, and desires their recent bondage had left with them, and with admirable shrewdness contrived to meet them. He knew that in preaching they wanted noise, emotion, and fire; that in the preacher they wanted free-heartedness and cordiality.
Everything the host had was at his guest's disposal, and though coffee and sugar were the dearest of his luxuries, often purchased with a whole season's trapping, the black fluid was offered with genuine free-heartedness, and the last plug of tobacco placed at the disposition of his chance visitor, as though it could be picked up on the ground anywhere.
"Well, indeed," exclaimed Zenobia, recovering herself and laughing, "this is an adventure, and well-worthy to be the first incident in our life of love and free-heartedness! But I accept it, for the present, without further question, only," added she, "it would be a convenience if we knew your name."
She also yielded to the luxury of grief, but was speechless till he said: "My darling, I have dreamed of your wedding-day many a time, but it was not like this. Music and joy, free-heartedness, a handsome, youthful bridegroom, our whole connection gathered here from the army and navy, from South, West, and North, and all happy except poor Daniel Custis, about to lose his child!"
B making acquaintances and renewing them, and gaining great credit for liberality and free-heartedness, two or three boys looking on and listening to the talk, the shopkeeper smiling behind his counter, with the tarnished tin scales beside him, the inch of candle burning down almost to extinction.
"How blessed it is that God sends these 'perpetual messiahs' among us, to lead us back to innocence and free-heartedness and faith. . . .

He would share his last crust with an enemy, and he is so up and down honest himself, he believes the whole world honest and pure also."
The last thing she had said was that she would wait until he returned to her, and here she was, waiting. When he spoke, his manner had lost the free-heartedness of a little while before; there was a slight diffidence in it. Hearing that Miss Panney was in the house, Dora turned her bonnet downward, and she also frowned a little. "Why should that old person come in this very morning?" she thought.
And he smiled. "Oh, yes it might have been I forget, I am not a young man now. How old were Mr. and Mrs. Halifax when they married?" "Father was twenty-one and mother was eighteen only a year older than I." And Maud, half ashamed of this suggestive remark, ran away. Her gay candour proved to me perhaps to others besides me the girl's entire free-heartedness.
There are possibilities in these congregations of the highways and byways, and when we have our people's church or churches, open all the year, and all the night as well as all the day, and the voices of the angels for sweetness, singing love and peace on earth, in an anthem that pierces the roof, and with the tones of a mighty organ to emphasize to all the world its message, and it is not a question of clothes, many people will be glad to listen, and will find an influence in the music, in the willingness, in the free-heartedness, in the sympathy, in the kindness, in the spirit of brotherhood, that they would not get out of preaching nor dogma.
