So at the next session appeared ex-Judge Cottaway, who had written a book and was a vestryman of St. Amos Parish; Broker Whilcher, who worshiped with the Unitarians, but found them rather narrow, and Broker Whilcher's bookkeeper, who read Herbert Spencer, and could not tell what he himself believed, even if to escape the penalty of death.
The vestryman of the small village in the Venn felt somewhat surprised and embarrassed when such a fine lady and gentleman drove up to his house and wished to speak to him. He went out to them, walking through the filthy water in his yard that splashed up to his knees.
Hodder. Good morning." Even then Hodder did not answer, but rose and held open the door. As he made his exit under the strange scrutiny of the clergyman's gaze the little vestryman was plainly uncomfortable. He cleared his throat once more, halted, and then precipitately departed. Hodder went to the window and thoughtfully watched the hurrying figure of Mr.
For the rector, in the course of his bachelor shopping, often resorted to the emporium of his vestryman, to stand on the stairway which carried him upward without lifting his feet, to roam, fascinated, through the mazes of its aisles, where he invariably got lost, and was rescued by suave floor-walkers or pert young women in black gowns and white collars and cuffs.
"I affirm that baptism with water is not sufficient." "I'm afraid that this is very grave," Mr. Hodder. "I quite agree with you," replied the rector, looking straight at his vestryman.

The last entry is that of his burial, 'October 3d 1678. His name also appears in a legal document respecting the sale of some land, executed in 1658.

"I want you to know this," said his vestryman, as he seized Hodder's hand, "much as we value you here, bitterly as we should hate to lose you, none of us, I am sure, would stand in the way of such a deserved advancement." "Thank you, Mr. Plimpton," said the rector. Mr. Plimpton watched the vigorous form striding through the great chamber until it disappeared.
And he anticipated, from the light yet nervous pacing that he heard on the bare floor, that the visitor was none other than his vestryman, Mr. Gordon Atterbury. The sight of the gentleman's spruce figure confirmed the guess. "Good morning, Mr. Atterbury," he said as he entered. Mr. Atterbury stopped in his steps, as if he had heard a shot. "Ah good morning, Mr. Hodder.
