Sisters of Charity." Pitiable, yet comparatively pardonable. A letter was shown me from a person of an entirely dif- ferent grade, a person of culture, who stood in most inti- mate relations to the recipient, and who had become a pervert. I was allowed to take a copy. The following is one of the paragraphs: "I abhor Protestantism, because I know all about it; because I know that it is a per- petual contempt of God, a perpetual rejection of Christ, a perpetual hatred of the truth, and for all who intelli- gently and willfully follow it, it is eternal damnation. I hate it and abominate it as an evil of the devil's own hatching, and I despise it as much as I hate it." The foregoing were doubtless extreme and exceptional cases. Such are apparently less representative of the present than of that period. Utterances of that kind were, how-

ever, too common to make fellow-citizenship entirely agreeable.
On the other hand, there were tokens of partial and even complete emancipation from the power of Popery. A couple came to me to be married because the priest would not marry them during Lent. Several who had been brought up in the Roman Catholic belief- nearly all of them women, one of whom had been a nun - joined the Eliot Church. Some of them suffered, in con- sequence, a measure of persecution from relatives. Escape or redress was nearly impossible. A little boy - noble fellow !- after his widowed mother had become an intelli- gent Protestant, spent a night at his grandmother's, and on going to bed kneeled down and repeated, " Jesus, tender shepherd," etc. "Where did you learn that?" said the grandmother. "At the Sabbath School," answered the lad. "What Sabbath School?" "Mr. Thompson's." " Never go there again," added the old lady with a threat. " Now, look up to this picture of the Holy Virgin, and pray." The boy, dropping his head, repeated the second commandment.
Illness, recurring often, was indeed a trial, and a severe trial, chiefly because of interference with official labor. Deaths in my own family circle fed the fountain of sympathy with others who were bereaved. But amidst all, there was joyful absorption in ministerial duties. Annoyances and sorrows failed to shut out the sunlight by day, and there were no thorns under the pillow at

night. For one thing, disquieting rumors about concerns personal to myself did not come to my ears. The least probable story -after one of Dr. Charles Finney's books had been lent from my library to a lady of another congregation - was that I had become a perfectionist. Somewhere in the year 1868, it came to me from three different sources that Colonel - called with a request to have notice from the pulpit given of a fair to aid dis- abled soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic, and that the request was discourteously declined. In point of fact, Colonel was never in my house, and I never had communication with or from him but once, and that was five years previous, nor was the request referred to made by any one.
There was exemption from one trial to which many ministers of our day are subject, brief pastorates and inef- fectual candidacies. Forbearance and lenity on the part of the church favored my gratification in the stability of sacred relations. The writer never heard of another church, the pastorship of which he would have preferred, nor did he listen favorably to overtures for a change, whether to a different pulpit, or, as twice solicited, to a college professorship, or when three times a chair was offered in a theological seminary. Valuable service could thus be rendered to those institutions by declining. Changeableness has never characterized the Eliot Church. Between 1842 and 1871, twenty-four Congregational churches were organized in Boston and the six adjoin-

ing cities or towns; while eight were merged in other churches, and eleven disbanded. Eighty-five pastors were installed, and the number of dismissions were painfully numerous.
Whatever else there might be, conditions and cir- cumstances to gladden the heart never failed. Our place of worship required enlargement at two different times. The salary was raised more than once or twice, but not at any suggestion of mine. Publications in book-form resulted, for the most part, from seasons of sickness which barred the pulpit, and from the employment of an amanu- ensis, which for many years was required by weakness of the eyes. I could never have performed the manual labor and other forms of needful labor. One work went through twelve editions; and this side matter of author- ship found not a little compensation in testimonies, oral and written, from a good many sources, of conversion and spiritual helpfulness.
It was along the same lines, those last named, that chief joy arose for thirty years. Frequent shortcomings, and depression at times, must be acknowledged. But I am not now seated at a public confessional. Whatever might be the consciousness of deficiencies in the pulpit, that was still a place of delight. Approaching the house of worship along a shaded avenue, I seemed to hear in the voice of the tolling bell an invitation as sweet as it was solemn - Come all ye that fear the Lord, bow down before Him! All ye weary and heavy laden, come and

find rest to the soul! Sons and daughters of affliction, come and pour out your hearts ! Come rich and poor; come youth in thy freshness, come man of gray hairs; come father and mother with the children; come widow in thy loneliness ! Our Heavenly Father bids all to come !
Pastoral visitation, too, had its joys-joys not easily expressed. Tokens of personal regard - oral, floral, and in other forms, were indeed abundant; there was unfail- ing kindness and generosity; but the highest gratification sprang from witnessing beautiful developments of char- acter. These were usually gradual, though sometimes rapid. Thought uniformly ran forward to the future of each individual. Not only the educated and conspicuous, but often those in humblest positions and of scantiest cul- ture showed elevation of soul and unselfish breadth of view. Not a few instances now rise before me. A pecu- liarly amiable and retiring member of the church, extremely limited in her means, requested with dying breath, that a certain sum should be handed me in aid of missions. A widowed mother, whose barrel and cruise were never full nor ever empty, charged her daughter to pay, of a certain amount, one-third to the home cause and two-thirds to the foreign. I was with a woman in paroxysms of dis- tress during the last hour of life, who uttered no com- plaint and only thanks for the Unspeakable Gift given for all. Soon after her funeral I called on the bereaved husband, who brought to me the purse which had not
494

yet been opened, and which was to help send the gospel to perishing heathen, who engaged her dying thoughts. A miss of fourteen drew out from beneath the pillow on which her head was resting for the last time, bright coins for the children's fund for foreign missions. I can now see those cold, white hands-each arm to appearance in a shroud - dropping contributions into the Lord's treas- ury. With special vividness there comes to mind the
case of a dependent widow away back in the forties (1848), who for the last two years of her life was unable to get to church or to the monthly concert. She was also unable to read the Missionary Herald, for a cancerous affection was consuming her eyes. Suffering was intense. When the great change came near, the daughter said, " Mother, what is your strongest desire now?" After a moment's pause, she replied, " The conversion of the world; the conversion of the world !"
Bright prospects for eternity gilded scores of homes. During the period specially in mind more than seven- teen thousand calls were made. There was an elastic step in passing from house to house; and no wonder when the record of a single afternoon, not wholly peculiar, suggests what tides of pastoral enjoyment were experienced. Of three visits, the first was on a widow, aged eighty-eight, who had long been eminent as a Christian, and deeply respected as the wife of a prom- inent minister. In the course of conversation, "I must cling to Him," said she; "I cannot help loving Him;
495

He is the dear, precious Jesus." The second visit was with a plain old lady of seventy just recovering from severe sickness. "I have been thinking a great deal about what they do in heaven." "And what are your thoughts about it?" " Well, my small idea is that they don't do much besides serve and praise Christ. He is the foundation and topstone, all in all." The third talk was with an ingenuous little boy eight years old. After many things had passed, " Well, James, do you hope to grow up to be a useful Christian?" " I would rather die and be with Christ; I should be so much more like Him, and I shouldn't sin any more."
Not less than three thousand five hundred scholars had been in the Sunday School, and over a thousand individuals had joined the church. It seemed, and still seems, that if heaven had only our Lord and departed members of the Eliot Church, it would not be a small heaven, and would be the abode of joy unspeakable and full of glory. To be on terms of hallowed inti- macy year after year with such saints, young and old; to see men, women, and children coming out of dark- ness into God's marvellous light; to be an instrument in the divine hand for binding up broken hearts; to find so many tried ones reposing sweetly on prom- ises exceeding great and precious; to have opportunity to preach Christ and Him crucified once a week, and to speak privately of Him every day in the week -these things enable me to enter fully into the expe-

rience of John Brown, of Haddington : " Were God to present me with the dukedom of Argyle on the one hand, and the being a minister of the Gospel, with the stipend which I have had, on the other, so pleasant hath the ministry been to me, notwithstand- ing all my weakness and fears of little success, I would instantly prefer the latter."
