There, Don! you have had enough and you are splashing us dreadfully. Come back!" She backed the horse out of the water and turned his head toward the woods. "It is great fun to be lost," she observed. "I didn't suppose any one could be lost in Denboro." "But this isn't Denboro. Seabury's Pond is in Bayport township." "Is it, really? In Bayport? Then I must be a long way from home."
The stoutest heart might well quail before the difficulties that rose up before him on every side. But Seabury's principle of action was ever found in the twofold rule always to "do the next thing," and when all cannot be done that one fain would do, then to do the best one can.
But three things put it beyond doubt: The original letter quoted in the text; Bishop Jarvis's sermon, preached before a Special Convention, May 5, 1796, called to elect a successor to Bishop Seabury, in which the fact is distinctly asserted; Bishop Seabury's letter to Dr.
Men pass away, the office lives on; and though many hands that shall have held this staff may by that time be folded in the sleep of death, I trust that when the hundred years come round again, my successor may come here, as I, Bishop Seabury's successor, have come, to offer to the Bishops of the Scottish Church, to its clergy, and its faithful laity, the assurance of his deep love and undying gratitude that they were bound together in one common bond of one holy faith, and in a common love of one living Lord and of each other.

No answer came." Scottish Church Review, i. 113.
As I have read, time and again, the record of that weary waiting, the story of that hope perpetually deferred, I have always risen from the reading with the profound impression that I have been brought into contact with a bravely patient and an utterly unselfish man. There is no truth whatever in the story. Seabury's letters, as well as all the circumstances, completely disprove it.

Some of the bigger boys in the back seats, cherishing pleasant memories of the "fun" they had under Miss Seabury's easy-going rule, attempted to repeat their performances of the previous term. But the very first "spitball" which spattered upon the blackboard proved a disastrous missile for its thrower.
