I think that we can safely trust Him to the amount of three hundred dollars at least. Where's your faith?" "Making false promises and trusting the Lord to fulfil them isn't faith," said Deacon Goodsole. "I say, Jim," said Mr. Jowett, "you trust Him for your interest money that will set us all right." There was a little laugh at this suggestion. Mr. Wheaton holds a mortgage on the church.
Last winter, the ladies clubbed together and made the parson a present of carpets for his parlors; the year before we gave him a donation party; almost every year, Deacon Goodsole sends him a barrel of flour from his store; in one way or another he gets a good many similar little presents. I always send him a free pass over the road.
"Deacon Goodsole will lend us his pung," was the reply. "And the trustees?" said I. But Miss Moore never leaves a point unguarded. "Young Wheaton is home from school," said she, "and he will go with you to the woods. He will call to-morrow, right after breakfast." For a difficult piece of generalship give me a woman. Not fitted for politics! Why, they are born to it.
Each one agreed to carry some offering with him-a word, a prayer, a hymn. Each one agreed also to bring in speech but a single thought, and in prayer but a single petition. The leader himself should occupy but five minutes. Our hearts were aglow. We never had such a prayer-meeting in Wheathedge. Deacon Goodsole did not have to announce that the prayer-meeting was open. It opened itself.
"Will you meet Deacon Goodsole at my house to-morrow evening, half an hour before the prayer-meeting, to unite in special prayer for Mr. Gear? I will see the Deacon. I am sure he will come." "I am sure he will," I added warmly; "as sure as that I will be there myself." With that I bade Mr. Mapleson good-night and hurried away.
Am I a Drone? DEACON Goodsole wants me to take a class in the Sabbath-school. So does Mr. Work. So I think does Jennie, though she does not say much. She only says that if I did she thinks I could do a great deal of good. I wonder if I could. I have stoutly resisted them so far. But I confess last Sunday's sermon has shaken me a little.
If I were the parson I would clear out that Board of Trustees and put in a new one, made up wholly of women. Deacon Goodsole.: That's not a bad idea. I believe the women would make a deal better Board than the present one. Dr. Mr. Laicus, have you considered the Scriptural teachings concerning the true relations and sphere of women in the church of Christ.
"And that's the reason I came to you first. In fact I do not want you to join my Bible class. I have not got any Bible class as yet, I want you to join me in getting one up." Mr. Gear smiled incredulously. "You had better get Deacon Goodsole," said he, "or," and the smile changed from a goodnatured to a sarcastic one, "or Mr. Hardcap."
Bisket keeps a summer boarding-house, and it was the height of the season, and she only had one girl part of the time. Dr. Argure rose to go, Deacon Goodsole followed his example. There were a few minutes of miscellaneous conversation as the gentlemen put on their coats. As we followed them to the library door Deacon Goodsole turned to me: "But you have not given me your answer yet, Mr.
I do not want to be mercenary, Mr. Laicus, but I do not want to be pinched." I assured him that no such difficulty should stand in his way. When I returned, I found he had expressed the same sentiments to Deacon Goodsole and Mr. Wheaton. We were all agreed that we would do as well as North Bizzy. So we gave him a call at $1,500.
