L'araldo cristiano e i segni dei nostri tempi . nonsense.Grandfather non ha avuto mai molto ammirazioneper le nozioni nuove-flanged. Sedetti al thetable di uno dei miei parrocchiani nella raunanza di aformer; un uomo invecchiato wasat la tabella ed il figlio stava presiedendo e il padre ha un po'bruscamente ad-vestito il figlio e ha detto: Figlio mio, dontnow prova a mostrare fuori perché il ministeris qui! A tuo padre non piaceva mai usanze o maniere nuove; preferiva il vecchio modo di fare le cose, e lui nev-er sembrava felice come quando, con i sibili chiusi, si sedette in poltrona all'angolo. Dalla brocciatura stropicciata alla punta delle pantofole,

Christian herald and signs of our times . nonsense.Grandfather never had much admirationfor new-fangled notions. I sat at thetable of one of my parishioners in aformer congregation; an aged man wasat the table, and the son was presiding, and the father somewhat abruptly ad-dressed the son and said : My son, dontnow try to show off because the ministeris here ! Your father never liked anynew customs or manners; he preferredthe old way of doing things, and he nev-er looked so happy as when, with hiseyes closed, he sat in the armchair inthe corner. From the wrinkled brow tothe tip of the slippers, what placidity !The wave of the past years of his lifebroke at the foot of that chair.
