It would be hypocritical of me not to acknowledge that the churches are losing ground, and that those who ought to be connected with them are not. I am ready to admit that the churches are at fault. But what you tell me of people reading these books gives me more courage than I have had for for some time." "Is it so!" ejaculated the little man, relapsing into the German idiom of his youth.
"No, he stopped in his house," replied the woman, rousing herself for a moment to the conversational point, but relapsing immediately. The man spoke in patois French, the woman in her native Cree language.
