The plan of salvation, in all its vast provisions for men, came about because of man's need, because of man's fall. Man has sinned. Oh, it is all too plain to deny. The bruised and wounded hearts of mothers and wives, the bowed heads of grief-stricken fathers over the sins of their loved ones, prove all too painfully that sin is real." "I know it is, too," said Jake Newby.
It seemed some angel voice had whispered something ineffably sweet to her. Robert hardly knew what to do or to say. She lay there so motionless, so still, yet there was such a sweet, holy awe, such a spiritual atmosphere, just as ii the room were full of angels, that it seemed he could not cry. Kate Newby was greatly affected.
The first night we arrived at Chester, and put up at the Albion Hotel, where we found ourselves very comfortable. We took the rail at twelve the next day, and went as far as Milnethorpe station, where we engaged seats in an old-fashioned stage-coach, and came to Newby Bridge.
"Should you not also make confession to Jake Newby for fighting him?" asked Mary. "And then give him that chickenhouse if he still demands it.
"Dat young lady knows a hoss," asserted old Robin, triumphantly. "Jes look at him, dyah. What bone an' muscle!" He raised the sheet and waved his dusky hand towards his charge. "Yes, that 's what I say. Such bone and muscle!" she repeated, with pretended gravity. "Especially the bone!" observed Mr. Newby, in a low tone. "I shall back him," she said.
There was a stagecoach load of us going; but I failed th' heart, an' wouldn't go an' I've forethought ever sin'. Mr Newby said to my friends at the same time, he said, 'You don't need to be frightened of him; he'll make the brightest priest of all the lot an' I should, too. . . . I consider mysel' a young man yet, i' everything, except it be somethin' at's uncuth to me."
After a blessed service of prayer and singing some of the good old soul-cheering songs, Robert and Mary Davis went home. It was the beginning of a new era in the Jake Newby home. It often happens when people become awakened to the fact that they are below the standard of Christianity and do not as yet see or know what to do, that they become ensnared in destructive doctrines.
"I do not know if you can have confidence in me or not, Mary, after this, but I expect to rise above it, God helping me," said Robert, when he could speak. "I recognize that I have done wrong," he continued. "What shall I do about it?" "You must forgive Jake, and Mr. Newby too, Robert," said Mary. Can you forgive them?" "Yes, by God's help, I forgive them. I do," said Robert.
If Jake Newby had been hit with a cannon ball he would not have been worse shocked. "Christian Science!" he echoed. "Of all things! Where did you get hold of that?" Then she told him of getting the leaflet, then Science and Health, and how she had gradually been won to embrace it.
The next few months, however, put an entirely different face on the matter, especially on the latter point. Besides Peter Newby and his wife, there were three grown sons of theirs, of whom Jake, and also his wife, figure in this narrative. Jake Newby was a typical money-grubber, turning everything in the way of financial deals to his own favor.
