He has often referred, moreover, with the same disordered sentimentality, to the sad fate of our father--about whose present estate no churchman can have any doubt.

In short, sir, I believe there is a great future for me in that church." "I shouldn't wonder if there was," answered the old man, who had studied his face closely during the speech.
