You
need
be
in
no
hurry
to
hear
,
"
he
said
:
"
let
me
frankly
tell
you
,
I
have
nothing
eligible
or
profitable
to
suggest
.
Before
I
explain
,
recall
,
if
you
please
,
my
notice
,
clearly
given
,
that
if
I
helped
you
,
it
must
be
as
the
blind
man
would
help
the
lame
.
I
am
poor
;
for
I
find
that
,
when
I
have
paid
my
father
's
debts
,
all
the
patrimony
remaining
to
me
will
be
this
crumbling
grange
,
the
row
of
scathed
firs
behind
,
and
the
patch
of
moorish
soil
,
with
the
yew-trees
and
holly-bushes
in
front
.
I
am
obscure
:
Rivers
is
an
old
name
;
but
of
the
three
sole
descendants
of
the
race
,
two
earn
the
dependant
's
crust
among
strangers
,
and
the
third
considers
himself
an
alien
from
his
native
country
--
not
only
for
life
,
but
in
death
.
Yes
,
and
deems
,
and
is
bound
to
deem
,
himself
honoured
by
the
lot
,
and
aspires
but
after
the
day
when
the
cross
of
separation
from
fleshly
ties
shall
be
laid
on
his
shoulders
,
and
when
the
Head
of
that
church-militant
of
whose
humblest
members
he
is
one
,
shall
give
the
word
,
'
Rise
,
follow
Me
!
'
"
St.
John
said
these
words
as
he
pronounced
his
sermons
,
with
a
quiet
,
deep
voice
;
with
an
unflushed
cheek
,
and
a
coruscating
radiance
of
glance
.
He
resumed
--
"
And
since
I
am
myself
poor
and
obscure
,
I
can
offer
you
but
a
service
of
poverty
and
obscurity
.
You
may
even
think
it
degrading
--
for
I
see
now
your
habits
have
been
what
the
world
calls
refined
:
your
tastes
lean
to
the
ideal
,
and
your
society
has
at
least
been
amongst
the
educated
;
but
I
consider
that
no
service
degrades
which
can
better
our
race
.
I
hold
that
the
more
arid
and
unreclaimed
the
soil
where
the
Christian
labourer
's
task
of
tillage
is
appointed
him
--
the
scantier
the
meed
his
toil
brings
--
the
higher
the
honour
.
His
,
under
such
circumstances
,
is
the
destiny
of
the
pioneer
;
and
the
first
pioneers
of
the
Gospel
were
the
Apostles
--
their
captain
was
Jesus
,
the
Redeemer
,
Himself
.
"
"
Well
?
"
I
said
,
as
he
again
paused
--
"
proceed
.
"
He
looked
at
me
before
he
proceeded
:
indeed
,
he
seemed
leisurely
to
read
my
face
,
as
if
its
features
and
lines
were
characters
on
a
page
.
The
conclusions
drawn
from
this
scrutiny
he
partially
expressed
in
his
succeeding
observations
.
"
I
believe
you
will
accept
the
post
I
offer
you
,
"
said
he
,
"
and
hold
it
for
a
while
:
not
permanently
,
though
:
any
more
than
I
could
permanently
keep
the
narrow
and
narrowing
--
the
tranquil
,
hidden
office
of
English
country
incumbent
;
for
in
your
nature
is
an
alloy
as
detrimental
to
repose
as
that
in
mine
,
though
of
a
different
kind
.
"
"
Do
explain
,
"
I
urged
,
when
he
halted
once
more
.
"
I
will
;
and
you
shall
hear
how
poor
the
proposal
is
,
--
how
trivial
--
how
cramping
.
I
shall
not
stay
long
at
Morton
,
now
that
my
father
is
dead
,
and
that
I
am
my
own
master
.
I
shall
leave
the
place
probably
in
the
course
of
a
twelve-month
;
but
while
I
do
stay
,
I
will
exert
myself
to
the
utmost
for
its
improvement
.
Morton
,
when
I
came
to
it
two
years
ago
,
had
no
school
:
the
children
of
the
poor
were
excluded
from
every
hope
of
progress
.
I
established
one
for
boys
:
I
mean
now
to
open
a
second
school
for
girls
.
