Mr
.
Muirhead
spoke
with
a
weighty
assurance
,
and
as
David
looked
at
his
shrewd
coarse
face
he
felt
a
sudden
helplessness
.
It
would
be
hard
to
convince
a
tribunal
so
prejudiced
-
-
in
whose
ears
,
perhaps
,
Chasehope
had
already
spoken
.
"
My
advice
to
you
,
"
the
voice
went
on
,
"
is
to
get
you
home
and
let
the
steer
settle
.
There
’
s
nothing
in
these
papers
that
calls
for
action
by
the
Presbytery
-
-
just
hearsay
and
idle
fama
,
the
visions
of
an
excited
young
man
and
the
lees
of
a
drucken
reprobate
.
No
doubt
you
mean
well
,
but
I
will
homologate
no
course
which
fastens
evil
on
a
man
whose
righteousness
has
been
abundantly
proven
.
Have
mind
of
the
virtue
of
charity
,
sir
,
which
thinketh
no
evil
.
I
opine
that
you
’
re
ower
ready
to
think
evil
.
Bring
before
me
wise
-
like
evidence
and
I
will
be
prompt
to
act
,
but
not
these
havers
.
"
So
far
he
had
spoken
with
a
kind
of
rough
good
-
humour
,
but
now
his
voice
became
harsh
.
"
They
tell
me
you
have
conducted
no
public
worship
these
last
two
Sabbaths
,
"
he
said
fiercely
.
"
I
will
not
lead
my
folk
into
deeper
hypocrisy
,
"
said
David
.
"
I
will
not
preach
or
pray
in
the
kirk
till
I
also
denounce
the
sinners
,
and
that
I
purpose
to
do
on
the
next
Lord
’
s
day
.
"
"
You
will
do
no
such
thing
,
"
said
Mr
.
Muirhead
sternly
.
"
I
,
your
elder
,
and
father
in
God
,
forbid
you
.
"
"
I
must
follow
my
own
conscience
,
"
said
David
.
"
I
am
as
convinced
of
the
abominations
of
the
Wood
and
of
the
persons
that
partake
in
them
as
that
I
am
sitting
with
you
here
in
Kirk
Aller
this
August
morning
.
"
"
You
would
add
contumacy
to
your
folly
,
"
the
other
roared
.
"
You
would
sow
dissension
in
the
Kirk
when
it
is
necessary
to
set
a
stout
front
against
the
Kirk
’
s
oppressors
.
"
"
That
,
"
said
David
firmly
,
"
is
mere
carnal
policy
.
In
the
name
of
God
,
whose
purity
is
a
flame
of
fire
,
would
you
let
gross
wickedness
go
unchecked
because
it
may
knock
a
splinter
off
the
Kirk
?
I
tell
you
it
were
better
that
the
Kirk
should
be
broken
to
dust
and
trampled
underfoot
than
that
it
should
be
made
a
cloak
for
sin
.
I
refuse
to
obey
you
,
Mr
.
Muirhead
.
Next
Sabbath
I
will
make
every
wall
in
Woodilee
dirl
under
my
accusation
.
