let them get it its mone 0 of my business im sure weve more books than we can ever read now mr Pet we called to see if you would subscribe for a furnace for the church I 1 I 1 no the use of a furnace 1 i the stove keeps us warm enough your pew and two or three about it j are c comfortable offo ratable but the galleries where w h ere i 1 the poorer people sit and the pews by the I 1 j door in short half the pews in the 1 house are very uncomfortable 11 well let them that find it so sub subi j scribe I 1 dont so its none of my business j now mr Pet was a very orthodox I 1 man and believed devo devon tely every one of the five points of Calvan galvanism ism and he hb could set any young minister right in a twinkling amt that blundered on them he kept an austere watch on his new pastor 2 mr service v iee lee whom he suspected somehow of not havin having precisely the good old ways 1 I 1 dont hear bear you preach the strong old points he would say divine sovereignty and election and aud the minister smiled in a manner that mr Pet ron wondered Ton dered at did you ever hear of this doctrine mr Pet look not every man on his own things but every man roan also on the things s of others I 1 that a doctrine said mr its a declaration of the bible sa why it a mr service vi ce and left him mr Pet felt for some time that confused sensation in his brain that is produced by a new idea fumbling at the rusty lock of a very old door chehad been to the sacrament punctually for twenty years he had supposed himself primed in all the ins and outs of doctrine and in iu all this time nobody had said such a singular thing to him as this it confused him bim and he put it out of his head the minister was young and modest he supposed lie he had dropped a seed which he be hoped hopee would germinate he did not make allowance for that flock of domestic fowls called old prejudices who mak make e i it t their business instantly to gobble gobbie up such seeds when he be thought the seed had germinated he hb called on Jede jedediah diali to open a case which lay heavier on his mind and which no one in his parish was better able to give him material aid there had bad recently been a factory established in a distant part of this parish which had brou bron brought glit into the place a large population of you young nry nem lids lads and girls who as often happens in in such cases seemed to be under very indifferent influences sunday was a perfect carnival of unseemly proceedings the boys marauded maraud ed through the fields robbed orchards and melon patches and the girls flouncing floun ting 0 in gay dresses an and A laughing loudly were c often seen in certain dubious coffee houses which had sprung sprang up like mushrooms in the nei nel neighborhood of the factory mr service with two or three energetic se self reif denying men and women of his parish had ventured into this region and set up a 21 sabbath school and succeeded in producing in some interest in better things that morning at table mr service said to his wife if I 1 oaly were rich now I 1 know what I 1 would do id putula put up a neat little hall ball for a sunday school and have h a library in it and I 1 could draw in ever so man many y it might CD become the nucleus of a church as w well weil ell eil as to serve fortha alse aise I 1 of a sunday school well lets get up a subscription for it said his wife 6 1 theres deacon petti sol sl owns the land perhaps hell give g ke i ug us that 1 I doubt it said mr service 0 yes I 1 only go aad talk to him tell him all about it he cant refuse so that evening mr service called at mr IAti lati sols sois and was cordially received some fine pears and grape grapes i were offered to him in the best front parlor and mrs Pet ani aal and ane mr Pett Pet igol were delighted to see him he told his bis story 11 1 I 1 hardly see what cause you have to meddle with that factory population said mr Pet if I 1 mistake not the factory stands the other side of the town line and its the business of sm smith ith to provide such things if anybody why dont you go to them 1 11 I have been to them and they are mere were moneymaking money making 0 men of the
