Twenty-seven thousand copies were called for in Greece before the year 1831. There had been more or less of printing since 1822; but it was not until the close of 1826, that the arrival of Mr. Homan Hallock furnished a regular and competent printer. In the year following, Mr.
"A company of sisters is soon to leave for earth, and I am going to say farewell to them." "Delsa, you do not go with them? You are not leaving me?" "No, Homan, my time is not yet." "May we not go together? but there that is as Father wills. He will ordain for the best. There are nations yet to go to the earth, and we shall have our allotted time and place."
Homan once fully launched; but when at last she permitted her back to rest against her chair, folding her arms with the manner of one who makes a sacrifice in a worthy cause, Abe broke into an explosive protest.
They were engaged in earnest conversation. "But, Brother Sardus," said one, "how can you look at it in that light? Lucifer was surely in the wrong. And then, how haughty and overbearing he was." "I cannot agree with you, Homan. We have a right to think and to act as we please, and I consider Lucifer in the right.
Everything seemed to pass so slowly, I thought; but now I see in it the wisdom of the Father. What confusion would result if too many went to the earth-life at once. The experience of those who go before are for our better reception." "Sardus," said Homan, "I hear that you are taking great delight in music." "That is expressing the truth mildly, dear Homan. Lately I can think of nothing else."
"I hain't never heard tell on a scooter a-killin' nobody yit; it's them plagued ice-boats up State what " "That's all very well," persisted Mrs. Homan, not to be diverted from her subject; "but when old Dr.
Homan in her most commanding tones at the end of a final discussion in the big hall, on the evening before the date set for departure, "ef yew're bound, bent, an' determined, Brother Abe, to run in the face of Providence, yew want tew mind one thing, an' wear yer best set of flannels ter-morrer." "Sho, thar hain't no danger of me ketchin' cold," decried Abe.
Homan and Sarah Jane, who had flung plates at each other only that morning, were observed to be holding hands. "But haow on arth be we a-goin' ter sleep him?" proceeded the matron uneasily. "Thar hain't a extry corner in the hull place. Puttin' tew people in No. 30 is out of the question it's jest erbout the size of a Cinderella shoebox, anyhow, an' the garret leaks "
I think we ought to grow into a perfectly rounded character, cultivating all of Father's gifts to us, but not permitting any of them to become an object of worship." "Remember, we take with us our various traits," said Delsa. "I think, Homan, your view is correct. It is well enough to excel in one thing, but that should not endanger our harmonious development."
Homan, a widow for the third time, made sturdy retort: "That's jest like yew old maids always a-blamin' the men. Yew kin jest bet I never would have let one of my husbands go ter the poorhouse. It would have mortified me dretful. It must be a purty poor sort of a woman what can't take care of one man and keep a roof over his head. Why, my second, Oliver G., used ter say " "Oh!"
