"I sympathize most sincerely," says the anonymous author of a pamphlet ofthe period, "with the somewhat respectable and pious clergyman whose heartmust still bleed at the recollection that his confidential class-leader,but a week or two before his just conviction, had received the communionof the Lord's Supper from his arm. This wretch had been brought up inhis pastor's family, and was treated with the same Christian attention aswas shown to their own kidren." "To us who are accustomed to the baseand proverbial ingratitude of these people, this ill return of kindnessand confidence is not surprising; but they who are ignorant of their realcharacter will read and wonder."
