The admirable little treatise of Bishop McIlvaine, on the "Evidences of Christianity," cleared away some of his difficulties. A sermon of Bishop Kavanaugh, preached at his request, was a help to him. A friend of his lay dying at Redwood City. This friend, like himself; was a skeptic, and his doubts darkened his way as he neared the border of the undiscovered country. McCoy went to see him.
An' don't it show he's goin' to try to make things square?" "I guess we might as well think that as anything." "I claim the boys has a right t' take sumpthin' out o' his hide," Bent Wilson stubbornly insisted. "Ain't enough t' go 'round," laughed McPhail. "Besides, I can't have it. Link an' I own the biggest share in 'im, an' we can't have him hurt." McIlvaine and Vance grinned.
All things considered, it looks like one of Seward's personal tricks, and Seward outwitted Chase, took him in by proffering a similar mission to Chase's friend, Bishop McIlvaine. But I pity Dayton. He is a high-toned man, and the mission of Hughes is a humiliation to Dayton. Whatever may be the objects of these missions, they look like petty expedients, unworthy a minister of a great government.
"Suppertime," he said and threw the whole matter off, as if he had decided it or had put off the decision till another time. As he went by the post office Vance said to McIlvaine in a smiling way, as if it were a good joke on Sanford: "Little short o' cash down at the bank." "He's a good fellow," McIlvaine said. "So's his wife," added Vance with a chuckle.
A few that came in early an' got land cheap, like McIlvaine, here-he got a lift that the rest of us can't get." "I'm a free trader, myself," said one young fellow, blushing and looking away as Howard turned and said cheerily: "So'm I." The rest semed to feel that this was a tabooed subject a subject to be talked out of doors, where one could prance about and yell and do justice to it.
Glad to see yeh-glad to see yeh! Mrs. McIlvaine, come right in! Take a seat. Make yerself to home, do! And Mrs. Peavey! Wal, I never! This must be a surprise party. Well, I swan! How many more o' ye air they?" All was confusion, merriment, handshakings as Rose introduced them in her roguish way. "Folks, this is Mr. Howard McLane of New York.
Grant sat silently in the kitchen doorway, not saying a word, not looking at his. brother. "Well, I don't never use hot vinegar for mine," Mrs. McIlvaine was heard to say. "I jest use hot water, an' I rinse 'em out good, and set 'em bottom-side up in the sun. I do' know but what hot vinegar would be more cleansin'." Rose had the younger folks in a giggle with a droll telling of a joke on herself.
Personally I rejoice to say that I have been permitted to preach the Gospel in the pulpits of all the leading denominations, not excepting the Episcopalian; and I once welcomed the noble and beloved Bishop Charles P. McIlvaine of Ohio to my Lafayette Avenue Church pulpit, where he pronounced a grand discourse on "The Unity of All Christians in the Lord Jesus Christ."
In the discourse, Bishop McIlvaine had said: "The only difference between the Presbyterian denomination, and Episcopal denomination, is their difference as to the orders of the ministry." The Dean was delighted with my account, and said: "Just imagine the Bishop of London preaching such a sermon in Newman Hall's or Spurgeon's pulpit; it would rock the old dome of St. Paul's."
The crowd thickened; the fellows came out of the blacksmith shop, while the jokers in the barbershop smote their knees and yelled with merriment. "What's up?" queried Vance, coming up and repeating the universal question. McIlvaine pointed at the poster with his cigar. Vance read the notice, while the crowd waited silently. "What ye think of it?" asked someone impatiently. Vance smoked a moment.
