He had hung about in the vicinity of the Catholic church on several evenings as well, but to no purpose. The organ inside was dumb, and he could detect no signs of Celia's presence on the curtains of the pastorate next door. This day, too, there was no one visible at the home of the Maddens, and he walked on, a little sadly. It was weary work waiting for the signal that never came.
We find it at length in this chapter, the chapter which tells the readers that they "have an altar." That is to say, the Christian Ministry is above all things a pastorate.

No church can languish, no church can die, while it has plenty of young blood in its veins. What has been the outcome of these thirty years of happy pastorate?
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is peopled with them and their tillage of the soil has continued through two centuries. A notable illustration is in Illinois. The permanence of the conditions of country life in this community is indicated by the long pastorate of the minister who has just retired.
As far as the results can be tabulated the following is a brief summary: During my pastorate here I have preached about 2,750 discourses, have delivered a very large number of public addresses in behalf of Sunday Schools, Young Men's Associations, the temperance reform, and kindred enterprises for advancing human welfare. I have officiated at 682 marriages. I have baptized 962 children.
A clean-shaven, benevolent-looking gentleman of middle age was next in evidence.
