It is a most difficult parish, composed principally of mill-men, woodsmen, and a few farmers. It seems that the last clergyman used no tact at all in dealing with them, and thus antagonised everybody, Mr. Stubbles included." "So you think that I would suit, do you?" and Douglas looked quizzically at Dr. Rannage. "I believe you are just the man for the place." "What makes you think so?"
"Anything will suit us here." The laugh which followed this remark annoyed Dr. Rannage. "I am almost inclined to believe you are right," he angrily retorted. "Ye believe it already, an' we know it." "Order!" the chairman sternly demanded. "Bill Simmonds, you had better leave the hall, if you can't behave yourself."
It seemed to me just the opposite, especially when I asked them for a few hundred dollars last fall to rent a building as a shelter for the unfortunate on the water-front. They told me pretty plainly what they thought of my 'new-fangled notion, as they called it." "They were merely cautious, that was all," Dr. Rannage defended.
It has somewhat relieved my mind, and that is worth something." "You will relieve my mind, if you will go," Dr. Rannage retorted. "It is absolutely ridiculous that I should be talked to in this manner, especially after what I have done for you." "Oh, you mean this?" and Douglas glanced at the cheque.
Margaret's. The people there are extremely particular and decidedly intellectual, and so prefer to listen to their rector." It was with considerable difficulty that Douglas repressed a chuckle at these words. He knew very well how jealous Dr. Rannage was of his own ability as a speaker, and he had always taken it for granted that the members of St.
I am merely the son of a poor, honest farmer, and so any old place will do for me." "See here, young man, you have no right to talk that way," Dr. Rannage retorted. "If you continue, I shall be compelled to report you to the Bishop." "Report all you like, but you both know it's true, and you cannot deny it.
"Oh, no, not 'pitched out," Dr. Rannage explained. "He left of his own accord." "Why?" the same voice asked. "Couldn't he stand up to the job?" "Not exactly. He was a hard worker, but he found it almost impossible to understand the ways, ah, how shall I put it? of refined society. That is, he could not mingle freely with the social element which is so prominent at St. Margaret's.
"What do you mean by talking that way?" he demanded. "Ever since you entered this room you have been as ugly as " "The devil," Douglas assisted as Dr. Rannage paused. "You might as well say it as think it. If telling the truth, and telling it plainly is being ugly, then I plead guilty. I question if what I have said will be of any benefit to you, but it has done a great deal of good to me.
Rannage could recover from his astonishment, the study door opened and closed, and Douglas Stanton was gone. "Hello! what's the rush?" Douglas Stanton stopped short, and a smile overspread his face as he turned it upon the beaming countenance of the man standing before him. "Oh, it's you, Garton, is it? I didn't see you." "You certainly didn't. Why, you were cutting a two-forty clip."
Now, we want a man all can respect, who understands his people, and yet who has the true ring of a natural born gentleman." "Who is he, anyway?" a man asked. "Where did he come from?" "He was brought up on a farm, and worked his way through college," Dr. Rannage explained. "He understands country ways and should suit very nicely here." "Why don't ye say 'the bush'?" Bill Simmonds shouted.
