Be it known to you that Dr. Selmser was Mrs. Harrison's pastor, and the preacher of the morning sermon. Miss Lily arched her handsome eyebrows. "Oh, mamma!" she said, "how could you be guilty of such a sin! The idea of Dr. Selmser going out to dinner on Sunday! I wonder he did not drop down in a faint! Papa, did you ever hear such a sermon?" "It slashed right and left, that is a fact," said Mr.
Matthews sallied out directly her meal was concluded, and openly and bitterly denounced Dr. Selmser as a pulpit slanderer? She did nothing of the sort. She chose her time and place and persons with skill and tact, and said, "Didn't they think, just among themselves, not intending to breathe it outside for the world, that Dr. Selmser was getting a little unpopular among the young people?
"They were going to give that exquisite bit from the last sacred opera, but the organist positively refused to play it after such woe-begone music. I wish we had a new hymn-book, without any of those horrid, old-fashioned hymns in it, anyhow." It was Mr. Harvey Latimer's turn to speak: "Oh, well now, say what you please, Selmser can preach.
Selmser didn't seem to "draw;" the "young people" thought him severe or solemn or something; his sermons were not "just the thing did not quite come up to the standard," whatever that may mean.
