A man whose religious conversation is of a set and conventional type, is always shocked and jostled when he is thrown from the track.

And he himself, like everybody else, had felt the Adventist infection, and did not want to commit himself.

So he turned to Mrs.Anderson.She answered like a seraph every question put to her--the conventional questions never pierce the armor of a hypocrite or startle the conscience of a self-deceiver.

Mr.Hall congratulated her in his most official tone (a compound of authority, awfulness, and sanctity) on her deep experience of the things that made for her everlasting peace.

He told her that people of her high attainments must beware of spiritual pride.
