THE REVISED CHRONICLES.
CHAPTER v.

Now it came to pass, most worthy
Bishop, according to that which was
spoken of in former chapter, that
the High Court of Essex met, as was
customary, to decide the differences
between good, law-abiding citizens
who were so anxious for the welfare of
their neighbors as to submit them to
those who knew but little or nothing
of the real circumstances in relation to
the matters, rather than be governed
by that greatest of all laws, Love thy
neighbor as myself" and "do as you
would he done by" Then there APP
peared the three wise men" who
were appointed to take into considera-
ton the welfare of the children in dis
trict No. /, and issued their decree
that the district could have the old
school hovel where it now stands, or
build another upon the same ground,
but must not encroach upon that "sa-
cred ground" unless they paid an eX-
orbitant price for the privilege. Now
this decision greatly elated "the
mighty wordy man" and also the
"Scribe." Then up spake he OF
Ismighty words and saith, "where now
is the Chronicles spoken of in a form
err chapter?" Charity covereth a
multitude of SINS" and | would that
the mantle of charity might have
been spread over the whole matter,
and that all the good citizens might
forget what is past, and unite in pro.
viding a suitable school house for their
children, which shall be an honor to
them and a credit to the town. But
what can we hope for when men will
contend against that which is for the
best good of the young In them is
all our hope of the future, and if we
fail to provide a suitable place, and
means for their education, mentally
and morally, we are striking death
blow to our boosted religious and pc
litical privileges for in knowledge is
strength and power, but ignorance is
weakness and dependence. The lam
entations of the children will be loud
and long for the comfortable house
they need, unless by some freak of ma.
ture the present house should be swept
out of existence. think if the Wise
Men" could have enjoyed one term Of
the children's privileges, they would
have decided that no ground was toe
sacred" for a new school house.
