Taking the shifty, insidious title in its go-to-meeting sense, every Christian is prima facie a gentleman; taking it in its every-day sense, no 'gentleman' can be a Christian; for Christianity postulates initial equality, and recognises no gradation except in usefulness. So Stewart was never, even by inadvertence, spoken of as a gentleman always as a Christian.
"'Orifice, said I, for I hate fine words for common use, they are like go-to-meeting' clothes on week days, onconvenient, and look too all fired jam up. Sais I, 'what's that when it's fried. I don't know that word? "'Why, ear-hole, said he. "'Oh, sais I, simple like, 'I take now. "He smiled and went on.
We don't often tackle no Sunday go-to-meeting names on to it, but I reckon, maybe, it's the same you're a-lookin' for." He had spoken with such startling indefiniteness of the distance that I asked him how far it was to Wallencamp. "Waal, thar' you've got me," said he, beaming on me in a broadly complimentary way, as though I had actually circumvented him in some skilful play at words.
I can never forget the seance I had with mother the day I handed over father's best, go-to-meeting overcoat to a dirty, evil-looking tramp, and gave away Victor's velocipede to the ash-man's little boy.

Why, you might as well say we ought to pull down Westminster Abbey, and put up a go-to-meeting shop with churchwarden windows; or never read Shakespeare, but only Sheridan Knowles. Think of all the work and labour that our predecessors have bestowed on these very books; and are we to make their work of no value?" "I say, Harry, please don't chaff; I'm really serious."
"If we go we must have a high old time and not be let in for a lot of rot about old bones and fossils and that sort of thing." "Rather not," said Dig, "though I wouldn't mind if we could get hold of a skull. It would look prime on the mantelpiece." "Gammer, who went last year, says it was an awful go-to-meeting turn- out.
"How did you get into this scrape?" said Nancy; "this was none of my doings anyhow. It'll never be dry weather, Ellen, where you are. I won't put on my Sunday go-to-meeting clothes when I go a walking with you. You had ought to ha' been a duck or a goose, or something like that. What's that for, Mr. Van Brunt!"
But no downpour troubled her. She liked the rain to beat into her face, for the dismal, monotonous cheerlessness of the brown fields, bare trees, and muddy roads was in keeping with the tragedy of her own young life. She knew that her aunt Emily disliked her. The covert sneers, the caustic criticisms, and the go-to-meeting attitude of the old lady irritated the girl beyond measure.
