 exercises had not yet commenced, however, when the boy's
attention was arrested by an event, apparently of trifling
interest. A woman, having her face muffled in a hood, and a cloak
drawn completely about her form, advanced slowly up the broad
aisle and took a place upon the foremost bench. Ilbrahim's faint
color varied, his nerves fluttered, he was unable to turn his
eyes from the muffled female.

When the preliminary prayer and hymn were over, the minister
arose, and having turned the hour-glass which stood by the great
Bible, commenced his discourse. He was now well stricken in
years, a man of pale, thin countenance, and his gray hairs were
closely covered by a black velvet skullcap. In his younger days
he had practically learned the meaning of persecution from
Archbishop Laud, and he was not now disposed to forget the lesson
against which he had murmured then. Introducing the often
discussed subject of the Quakers, he gave a history of that sect,
and a description of their tenets, in which error predominated,
and prejudice distorted the aspect of what was true. He adverted
to the recent measures in the province, and cautioned his hearers
of weaker parts against calling in question the just severity
which God-fearing magistrates had at length been compelled to
exercise. He spoke of the danger of pity, in some cases a
commendable and Christian virtue, but inapplicable to this
pernicious sect. He observed that such was their devilish
obstinacy in error, that even the little children, the sucking
babes, were hardened and desperate heretics. He affirmed that no
man, without Heaven's especial warrants should attempt their
conversion, lest while he lent his hand to draw them from the
slough, he should himself be precipitated into its lowest depths.

The sands of the second hour were principally in the lower half
of the glass when the sermon concluded. An approving murmur
followed, and the clergyman, having given out a hymn, took his
seat with much self-congratulation, and endeavored to read the
effect of his eloquence in the visages of the people. But while
voices from all parts of the house were tuning themselves to
sing, a scene occurred, which, though not
exercises had not yet commenced, however, when the boy's 
 care was catch by an event, apparently of dalliance 
 interest. A womanhood, having her face smother in a hood, and a cloak 
 drawn completely about her kind, advanced slowly up the across-the-board 
 aisle and took a place upon the first bench. Ilbrahim's faint 
 color varied, his nerves fluttered, he was unable to change state his 
 eyes from the muffled female. 

 When the preliminary prayer and hymn were all over, the minister 
 arose, and having turn the hour - methamphetamine which stood by the capital 
 Bible, commenced his discourse. He was now well stricken in 
 long time, a man of pale, thin countenance, and his gray hairs were 
 close brood by a black velvet skullcap. In his younger days 
 he had practically learned the meaning of persecution from 
 Archbishop Laud, and he was not now disposed to forget the lesson 
 against which he had murmur then. Introducing the often 
 hash out national of the Quakers, he gave a history of that sect, 
 and a description of their tenets, in which mistake predominated, 
 and prejudice distorted the aspect of what was genuine. He adverted 
 to the recent measures in the province, and cautioned his hearers 
 of unaccented parts against calling in question the just severity 
 which God - fearing magistrate had at duration been compelled to 
 exercise. He spoke of the danger of commiseration, in some cases a 
 commendable and Christian virtue, but inapplicable to this 
 baneful sect. He observed that such was their devilish 
 obstinacy in error, that even the fiddling children, the sucking 
 babes, were harden and desperate heretic. He affirmed that no 
 serviceman, without Heaven's especial warrants should undertake their 
 conversion, lest while he lent his hand to draw them from the 
 slough, he should himself be precipitated into its humble depths. 

 The sands of the second hour were principally in the lower half
