"What's that got to do with it?" said I. "So has Deacon Goodsole; but he's none the worse for that." "We can't afford to support a man with a large family," said Mr. Hardcap. "We must get a young man. We can't possibly afford to pay over $1,200 a year, and we ought not to pay over $1,000." "Oh!" said I; "do we grade the ministers' salaries by the number of the minister's children?"
But Solomon Hardcap would not hear of him, and even Deacon Goodsole shook his head at his suggestion, "He is not social," said the Deacon. "He does not know half the people in Highkrik, where he has been settled for over five years. He often passes his best friend without noticing him, on the street." "Never would do," says Mr. Hardcap. "He only visits his people once a year.
Deacon Goodsole found an old friend in one of the congregation and went home with him to dinner, while Mr. Wheaton and Mr. Hardcap went back to the hotel. Mr. Wheaton had to return the next day, but the Deacon found no great difficulty in persuading Mr. Hardcap to stay over, and Tuesday evening they went to the weekly prayer-meeting.
Can the Treasurer tell us how much we owe Mr. Work?" The Treasurer looked inquiringly at the President, but getting no response, found his voice, and replied, "Three hundred dollars." "The whole of last quarter?" said I. The Treasurer nodded. "I think there is a little due on last year," said Deacon Goodsole. "A hundred and seventy-five dollars," said the Treasurer.
With that she was off again, and I was in for an office. Deacon Goodsole afterwards told me confidentially that he was caught in the same way. Now, though I am no gardener, I am a bit of a carpenter. So, after taking the dimensions of the fence, mentally, I started off for the material, which Mr.
Deacon Goodsole.: I am afraid it wouldn't do Mr. Gear-not with our people. I wouldn't mind it myself. Mr. You see Mr. Gear you don't understand church matters altogether.

She is the meekest and mildest of women. She is also the most timed. In public she rarely speaks. But it is currently reported that she avenges herself for her silence by the curtain lectures, she delivers to her good husband at home. Of that, however, I cannot be sure. I speak only of rumor. Now she took advantage of a pause to say: Mrs. Goodsole.: I like Mr. Laicus's doctrine.
Harry who now ran before, now loitered behind, and now walked sedately by my side, was full of spirits, and there was everything to make the soul feel hope and courage. And yet I had my misgivings. When I had told Deacon Goodsole that I was going to call on Mr. Gear he exclaimed at my proposition. "Why he's a regular out and outer.
The neighbors think he is inclined to be an Episcopalian, because he wants it introduced into the church service, but he says he does not really think that the Lord was an Episcopalian, and if he was it would not be any good reason for not using his prayer. Then the children kissed good-night, all round, and went to bed. Mrs. Goodsole took Bob off to his crib, and the Deacon and I were left alone.
We were in the Post Office, waiting for the distribution of the evening mail. Mr. Hardcap was one of our group. So was Deacon Goodsole.
