The local papers made quite a feature of the case and spoke with great warmth of Bob's courage, and the benefit he had rendered the community. "I say, Nancarrow," said Dr. Renthall, when next they met, "they are making quite a hero of you. I must congratulate you." "On what?" asked Bob. "On the part you played in that affair." "I am all at sea," was the young man's rejoinder.
Professor Renthall was also a Friend, and it was perhaps this fact that first drew them together. For while Bob did not in any way profess adherence to the Society of Friends, he greatly admired those of that persuasion. In addition to this, too, his father's influence was still strong upon him. The boy revered his father's memory, and treasured in his heart those faiths by which Dr.
The woman was supposed to be the wife of one of these men, and Bob by his intervention had hindered what might have been a brutal tragedy. But that wasn't all. The thing was a commentary on his conversation with Dr. Renthall. Two days later Bob appeared at the police court against these men, and heard with satisfaction the Magistrates sentence them both to severe punishment.
"I really cannot stay any longer now," interrupted the Professor, and he slipped away, leaving Bob alone. The next day Bob was in London. He had engaged chambers in the Temple in order to prepare for his examinations. In spite of what he had said to Professor Renthall, his old opinions remained unshaken.
"Yes," replied Renthall; "but would it not have been better for Belgium to have acted on the spirit of non-resistance? If they had, Liége would never have been bombarded. All the atrocities at Louvain would never have been heard of."
"I want to see my father's old friend Renthall." "And get strengthened in your Quaker opinions, I suppose?" "I have heard nothing about them lately, at all events," said Bob, and his voice became almost bitter. "It would seem as though we had accepted a new Gospel which has taken the place of the New Testament. Big guns are believed in rather than the Cross. But there is no use talking any more.
I don't care what this fellow thinks about me, and yet I am ashamed to tell him that I have not come up for training, at all." "By the way," he said to the waiter in order to stop his garrulous talk, which was becoming painful to him, "will you ring up Dr. Renthall, and ask him if he can see me in about an hour's time?" A little later Bob was out in the streets again, on his way to Dr.
We are being more and more filled with the spirit of militarism, which means the death of religion; while every new Dreadnought, which drains the nation of its treasure, is another nail driven into the Cross of Christ." When Bob returned to St. Ia this summer, the influence of his father's life, and his association with Dr. Renthall, had done their work.
We attend so many 'chapels' as a matter of necessity, and are glad when they are over. As to religion having any effect on our lives, it seems to be out of the question." Dr. Renthall had a great influence over Bob. Although he was nearing fifty, he was a keen sportsman. He played a scratch game at golf, and during the cricket season he could keep his end up with the best of the younger men.
His ostensible purpose was to read for the Bar, after taking his degree; but he secretly hoped to obtain a Fellowship at his college, and settle down to a scholastic life. While he was at Oxford Bob became acquainted with a Professor, named Dr. Renthall, who had been an undergraduate there with his father.
