P. 87

Fairbrass,  before  you  bid  good-bye  to  me,
                                   remember  this.          If  I  have  said  things  to

                                   you  that  seem  hard,  it  is  perhaps  because  I
                                   know  rather  too  much,            it  is  true  that  I

                                   have  a  certain  amount  of  contempt  for  the
                                   people  who  come  to  this  church  professing;

                                   to  do  much,  and  doing  next  to  nothing.
                                   You  see,  unluckily  1  know  that;  but  I

                                   know,  too,  that  they  would  be  still  more
                                   thoughtless  if  they  did  not  come  here  at all.

                                   Good-bye.        God  bless you,  Fairbrass ;  and
                                   don’t  forget  those  two  hymns,1
