From setting on the man.
he first who came among us
BY no means was the worst,
But then we didn't think Of him
Because he was the first
1t being quite the custom
To sacrifice few,
Before the church in earnest
Determines what to do.
There was a smart young fellow
With serious, earnest way,
Who, but for one great blunder,
Had surely won The day;
Who left so good impression,
On Monday one or two
Went round among the people
To see if he would do.
The pious, godly portion
Had not fault to find,
His clear and searching preaching
They thought the very kind
And all went smooth and pleasant,
Until they heard the views
OF some influential sinners.
Who rent the highest pews.
On these his pungent dealing
Made but sorry hit
The coat Of gospelteaching
Was quite to tight fit.
OF course HE fate was settled
Attend, We parsons all
And preach to please the sinners
If you would get call.
Next came spruce young dandy,
He wore his hair too long
Another's coat was shabby,
And hi. voice not over strong,
And one New Haven student
Was worse than all Of those
We couldn't hear the sermon
For thinking Of his nose
Then wearying of candidates,
We looked the country through,
Mid doctors and professors,
To find one that would do.
And after much discussion,
On who should bear the ark,
With tolerabe agreement
We fixed on DR.. Parke.
Here then we thought it settled,
But were amazed to hnd
Our aattering invitation
Respectfully declined.
We turned to DR.. Hopkins
To help US in the lurch,
Who strangely thought tina. college
Had claims above " our church"
Next we despatched committees
By twos and threes, to urge
The labors for Sabbath
OF the Rev. Shallow Splurge.
He came-a marked sensation,
So wonderful his style,
Followed the cracking of his boots,
As he passed up the aisle.
His tones were so affecting,
His gestures so divine,
A lady tainted in the hymn,
Before the second line,-
And on that day he gave us,
In accents clear and loud,
The greatest prayer ever addressed
To an enlightened crowd.
He preached double sermon,
And gave us angels fool,
On such lovely topic
"The joys of solitude; y
And full Of sweet descriptions
Of flowers and pearly streams,
OF warbling birds, and m.oonlit groves,
And golden sunset beams.
OF faith and true repentance,
He nothing had to say;
He rounded all the corners,
And smoothed the rugged way
Managed with great adroitness
To entertain and please,
And leave the sinners conscience
Completely at its ease.
Six hundred is the salary,
We gave in former days.
We thought it very liberal,
And found it hard to raise;
But when we took the paper,
We had no need to urge,
To raise a cool two thousand,
For the Rev. Shallow Splurge,
In vain were all the Efforts
We had no chance at all
We found ten city churches
Had given him a call;
And he in prayerful waiting,
Was keeping all in tow
But where they bid the highest,
Twas whispered he would 60,
And now, good Christian brothers,
We ask youi earnest prayers,
That God would send shepheard,
To guide our church affairs,
With this clear understanding
A man, to pueet ON views,
Must preach to please the sinners,
And fill the vacant pews
