To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
OF THE SEA OF GENIUS. 191 VILLAGE PASTORS.
THE old village-pastor of New England, was " a man having authority. " His deacons were under him, and not, as is now often the case, his tyrannical rulers ; and whenever his parishioners met him, they doffed their hats, and said, " Your reverence. " Whatever passed his lips was both law and gospel ; and when too old and infirm to ministerto his charge, he was not turned away, like a worn-out beast, to die of hunger, or gather up, with failing strength..., the coarse bit which might eke out a little longer his remaining days ; but he was still treated with all the deference, and support ed with all the munificence which was believed due to him whom they regarded as " God s vicegerent upon earth. " He deemed himself, and was considered by his parishioners, if not infallible, yet something ap proaching it. Those were indeed the days of glory for New England clergymen.
Perhaps I am wrong. The present pastor of New England, with his more humble mien and conciliatory tone, his closer application and untiring activity, may be, in a wider sphere, as interesting an object of con templation.
