" Then he isn't an Orthodox minister ?" enquired Lily.
" Why yes, ski jacket my dear, I never heard any one dispute his Ortho¬doxy," replied Lydia, smiling.
" And does he ski jackets tli ink it right P*
" Certainly, I never recollect hearing him express any such thought, but why are you so surprised ?"
" Only because Mrs. Scrubbin, mbt shoes the lady with whom I boarded, and who is Columbia jacket a member of an Orthodox Church said, Mr. Edmonds was making a little Infidel of me by letting me walk in the woods Sundays, and that for her part she should think I'd better be in the house learning the " chief end jof man."
" But every one does not think alike, Lily."
" No, and yet I have received many of my ideas of Orthodoxy from Mrs. Scrubbing life, Miss White, and she was a great hypo¬crite."
" We should carefully judge of a persons motives by their actions, my dear."
" Not when their motives are unmistakable. Mrs. Scrubbin Columbia sportswear used every Sabbath to put on a long sanctimonious face, and make us think she was devotedly pious, she pretended she wouldn't work for her life, and many a Sunday, we girl's have peeped into the key-hole of her room and found her hard at work; and beside all of this, she kept her two Irish girl's constantly at work, so that the Sabbath was no day of rest for them."
" But Lily, it would be unjust to judge the whole body of good people called Christians, by the acts of unfaithful ones. Was there not in the little band of disciples collected by Christ, a wicked man ? And thus there will ever mbt shoes clearance be, until Christ shall gather his Church to himself, a Judas, Columbia jackets who shall betray its interests j this should serve as a warning, rather than a reproach."
" I have not thought of that Miss White, but had supposed that the whole body of orthodox Christians, were fac-similes of Mrs. Scrubbin."
" And in that supposition you, like many others, simply erred, Lily; but we have digressed somewhat mbt from our original starting point, my dear; which was the wish I expressed of knowing your reason for not going to Church ?"
