There were people like the Bradleys, who rented half a pew and never missed a Sunday; Mr. Bradley, an elderly man whose children had scattered, was an upper clerk in one of Mr. Parr's trust companies: there were bachelors and young women, married or single, who taught in the Sunday school or helped with the night classes.
It's somewhat to keep them out of the dance-halls and saloons maybe." "It's not enough," the rector asserted. "You've had a great deal of experience with them. And I want to know why, in your view, more of them don't come into the Church." "Would ye put Jimmy Flanagan and Otto Bauer and Tony Baldassaro in Mr. Parr's pew?" McCrae inquired, with a slight flavour of irony that was not ill-natured.
And she had, at that instant, no thought of the long years he had neglected her for her brother. "It's about Preston," she said. "Preston!" The name came sharply from Eldon Parr's lips. "What about him? Speak, can't you?" "He died this evening," said Alison, simply.
He was dazzled by the brilliancy of your success, inspired by a civilization which gave such opportunities. He recognized that he himself had not the brains for such an achievement, his hope and love and ambition were centred in his boy." At the word Eldon Parr's glance was suddenly dulled by pain. He tightened his lips.
The friend turned out to be a corporal, carried Lt. Parr's pack back for him and saw him into hospital and in possession of an unlooted pack an example of the vicissitudes of war.
Crying out for education, and helping to debauch the public mind with Voltaire's 'Candide, and Eugene Sue swearing by Jesus, and puffing Atheism and blasphemy yelling at a quack government, quack law, quack priesthoods, and then dirtying your fingers with half-crowns for advertising Holloway's ointment and Parr's life pills shrieking about slavery of labour to capital, and inserting Moses and Son's doggerel ranting about searching investigations and the march of knowledge, and concealing every fact which cannot be made to pander to the passions of your dupes extolling the freedom of the press, and showing yourself in your own office a tyrant and a censor of the press.
You couldn't have got me to believe that Eldon Parr would put his name to anything that wasn't straight. "Then Consolidated Tractions came along, with Parr's, name behind it. Everybody was talking about it, and how it was payin' eight per cent. from the start, and extra dividends and all, and what a marvel of finance it was.
You must not stop me now," he said with a touch of severity. "You'll listen to me, right here and now," cried Garvin. "If you think I am going to let Eldon Parr's minister, or any one else belonging to him, save that boy's life, you've got another guess comin'. That's all. I'd rather have him die d'ye hear? I'd rather have him die."
He might have known by looking at the man that he would wake up some day, such was the burden of his lament. And there came to him, ironically out of the past, the very words of Mr. Parr's speech to the vestry after Dr. Gilman's death, that succinct list of qualifications for a new rector which he himself, Nelson Langmaid, had humorously and even more succinctly epitomized.
Alison Parr was talking to the woman in the flat, and both were changed, and yet he identified both: and on another occasion he saw a familiar figure surrounded by romping, ragged children a figure which turned out to be Eldon Parr's! Finally he was aroused by what seemed a summons from the unknown the prolonged morning whistle of the shoe factory.
