During that day both Jake and Kate were in a very humble mood. Peter Newby came over during the day and Jake told him all about Robert's confession. Jake also expressed himself as being dissatisfied with his religion. "Ah, poof!" said Peter, "you are all right. Weren't you baptized, and don't you believe in Christ? Don't give up your religion. Would you go back on your old dad and mammy like that?
On one day of the next week after the conversation in his home with the Davis', Jake and Kate went to the railway station in Bethany to see their Aunt Mellisa off. She had been visiting with her brother, Peter Newby, for a few days and was on her way home to Boston.
Some queer theories were advanced in these discussions, which we have neither time nor inclination to speak of now. Robert Davis and Mary began to attend this prayer exposition meeting as soon as they could. After the reading of the chapter, Peter Newby, as usual, was on his feet ready to tell the class all about it.
Newby's text in Romans 7:14 will come up for discussion next week; so I will not speak of it now. "You did not find your text, Mr. Newby. The five dollars is ready whenever you find it," said Robert Davis, as he sat down. All eyes were now upon Mr. Newby. Here was an opponent that was not to be stampeded or intimidated, one who knew his ground, and kept close to his texts.
Jake knew, down in his heart, that Robert had done the manly and Christian thing, and when he saw that his father did not appreciate what Robert had done, it made him feel that his father was not much of a Christian either. Jake lost confidence in his father right there. Peter Newby sensed this change of attitude on Jake's part, and it filled him with anger. Yet he knew that he dare not show it.
Joseph Newby, their Missionary in that island, empowering him to negotiate in his own name with Mr. Wood for Mary's manumission, and to procure his consent, if possible, upon terms of ample pecuniary compensation.
If there was any notice taken of it by any critic of the day, I did not see it. I never asked any questions about it, or wrote a single letter on the subject to the publisher. I have Mr. Newby's agreement with me, in duplicate, and one or two preliminary notes; but beyond that I did not have a word from Mr. Newby. I am sure that he did not wrong me in that he paid me nothing.
But it shows nearly the whole extent of the lake, all the way from Lowwood, beyond Newby Bridge, and I think there can hardly be anything more beautiful in the world. The water was like a strip and gleam of sky, fitly set among lovely slopes of earth.
Bancroft, and myself, went to Castle Howard, as Lord Morpeth had written to his mother that we were to be there and would lunch with her. Castle Howard is twenty-five miles the other side of York, which is itself twenty-five miles from Newby. But what is fifty miles when one is under the wing of the Railway King and can have a special engine at one's disposal.
I ask God to forgive me every time I pray. I tell you, a man simply cannot live without committing sin." When Peter Newby sat down, Robert Davis arose again, and said: "There is a text of scripture that says certain persons cannot cease from sin. I do not say that anyone here fulfills the description in that text.
