Hardcap said that "her husband wasn't in favor of the parsonage nohow, and she didn't believe would think much of fixin' of it up;" but Miss Moore replied to Mrs. Goodsole that she could try at any rate, and to Mrs. Hardcap that she would be responsible that Mr. Hardcap would do his share; a remark which to some of us seemed a bold one, but which pleased Mrs. Hardcap for all that. Mr.
As to his preaching, he said he should not call him eloquent, "but" he added, "there is one thing; Maurice Mapleson never speaks without having something to say; and he is very much in earnest." Both the Deacon and Mr. Hardcap were very much pleased with the spirit of the prayer-meeting the Deacon said Mr.
Hardcap has given him the New Testament, and for his little offences about the house he allots him so many verses to learn; sometimes only ten or twelve, sometimes a whole chapter. I am afraid it will give the poor boy a distaste for the word of God." "There is no danger," said Mr. Hardcap, oracularly.
We cannot afford to pass by any part of the word of God." "What do you think about it, Mr. Laicus?" said Mrs. Hardcap. "Think!" said I; "I should be afraid to say what I think lest your husband should account me a hopeless and irreclaimable unbeliever." "Speak out," said Mr.
If your plane gets dull out comes the hones and the dulled edge is quickly sharpened again. But ideas are gone when they are used." "I don't see it," said Mr. Hardcap. And I do not suppose he does. I wonder if he knows what an idea is. "It is so," continued I, "with all student-tools.
He rarely misses a prayer-meeting, and though he does not speak very often he never speaks unless he has something to say. And that is more than can be said of some of those who "occupy the time" in our prayer-meetings. I understand that Mr. Hardcap was not altogether satisfied with Mr. Gear's "evidences" when he appeared before the session.
Hardcap, sure enough, to repair it. She had agreed to pay for the material, and he was to furnish the labor. The fence was straightened, and the gate re-hung, and the blinds mended up, and Mr. Hardcap was on the roof patching it where it leaked or threatened to. Deacon Goodsole had a bevy of boys from the Sabbath-school at work in the garden under his direction.
But there are the prayer-meetings, and the Sabbath-school, and the whole management and direction of the church." "Prayer-meetin' and Sabbath-school!" replied Mr. Hardcap; "don't we all work in them? And we don't ask any salary for it. I guess it ain't no harder for the parson to go to prayer-meetin' than for me." I shrugged my shoulders. The deacon interposed. "I agree with you, Mr.
Deacon Goodsole also proposed to put Mr. Hardcap on the special committee to go to Koniwasset Corners, and Mr. Wheaton said he would furnish a free pass over the road to all who would go. No man is impervious to compliments if they are delicately administered. At all events Mr. Gear was sensibly pleased by having us call on him in a body. And Mr.
One advantage we have gained by this interregnum-only one. Even Mr. Hardcap is convinced that pastoral labors are not so unimportant as he had imagined. For myself, I am in despair. I made no very serious objection to being put on the supply committee. I fancied the task a comparatively easy one. I had understood that there was no lack of ministers wanting places. There is none.
