And gave tn oppressed adytec--aud dollar

For he'd baptised one half the past,

Outside the church, the good man held
A comprehensive supervision, ..
Aud village quidnuncs were compelled
To bow before his calm decision.
Though party strife might rage aud swcll

There game no storm he could not qucll,
No doubt too grave fer his digestion.
