Book Description
Excerpt from The Old-Time Parson His book makes no pretension to be a complete T and regular history of the clerical office. Many volumes would be needed to record the lives, manners, and customs of the clergy. The writer has tried to paint a portrait of the parson at various stages of his career, to catch a glimpse of the Saxon and mediaval cleric, to see the bishop in his palace, to show what kind of cleric ruled in Elizabethan and later times, to picture him in his pulpit and among his flock, in his sufferings and in his successes, and to discover what other men have written about him. It is a companion portrait to that of T be Paris/z Clerk, who won much favour last year in the eyes of many readers; and if the latter had his picture painted, it is only fair that the occupant of the higher tier of the three-decker should share his honour. We venture to hope that the admirers of the clerk will consent to raise their eyes to the parson, who always needs the sympathy and friendship of his fellows, and who by his good deeds, his patience under disappointment, his services to Church and State and to the few sheep in the wilder ness over whom he exercises his pastoral care, is perhaps not unworthy of their affection and regard. The writer desires to express his most grateful thanks to many correspondents who have kindly sent him anec.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Young Parson It was now thought that some immediate action was required for the good of the congregation. The letter to Mr. Meagre said: The sacred oracles have long been dumb. Zion is languishing; our church is in debt, and our people scattered like sheep with out a shepherd. The ministers Of our Church around here say it is a shame we can't keep a minister longer. But no one ever stayed over two years since the time Of Old Mr. Huguenot. He built the church, you know; but he had so many funerals that bad winter, that he got the hemorrhage Of the lungs right in the pulpit, which our people didn't like in him, and so we thought we had better get a stronger man.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Graver Thoughts of a Country Parson Poetic genius quite deserted him 3 and he could not write aline. But in the spring-time, when the sap began to stir in the trees, and all nature to revive, the life around him thrilled his heart though it could not reach his eyes 3 and the amanuensis could hardly keep pace with the ow of unpremeditated song. One does not wonder at the spring burst 3 but it seems curious that the quiet, thoughtful days of autumn, which waken many old remembrances in most men, Should have so chilled and disheartened the great poet. Many people can say, that there is hardly any in uence that so stirs them to vague feelings and impressions which would be poetry in the hands of one who was able to give them expression, as the clear, still air, and the motion less autumn woods ln the beautiful autumn sunshine. It is a season in which to recall the days that are gone and Sitting down here, on the steps which lead to this pretty Gothic church, let us think of Sundays long ago. The present writer, for a certain sufficient reason, has this morning been reading over certain pages, bearing truths and counsels which have been addressed to two Christian congregations, one in the country and the other in the town 3 and altering a word here and there. And in reading some of these pages, how strangely there comes back the feeling of the old quiet Sundays, far away! And the season has decided what kind of Sunday shall come most plainly back. It is the autumn Sunday, with its morning stillness: with the clear hills round: with the bright. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Graver Thoughts of a Country Parson: Second Series There is a subdued, silvery light on the sea to-day, and the hills across the water look like blue clouds. The air is so still, that you may hear the beating of the paddles of a steamer miles distant, unseen in the veil of mist. There has been drizzling rain at intervals through the morning; and the road by the sea-side, yesterday ankle-deep in dust, is pleasantly firm and cool; and the trees, just beginning to be touched by the Atlantic breezes of the early days of September, look green again as in May, in the glints of silvery light from the clouded sun. You may see many fair scenes within the compass of Britain: but yesterday morning, when the sky was sapphire-blue, and the sunshine was the brightest; - when that expanse of sea shut in by noble hills was glassy smooth, and the yellow corn-fields round, bounded by green hedges, looked so still and rich in the quiet air, not without a touch of bracing crispness; you would have said that there could hardly be anything fairer in the world than this bit of the homely Clyde.
