SUNDAY EVENINGS AT BEECHWOOD. CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION. "LET me carry your Prayer-Book, do, mother dear," said Clement Arthur, as, putting on his cap and pocketing his little hymn-book, he followed his mother and elder brother down the narrow pathway from the village church. "I can hold it quite well now, and my own too," continued the little boy, eagerly stretching out his hand for the gilt-clasped volume, his especial admiration. "No, thank you, Clement," returned Mrs. Arthur, smilingly; and then added, with a graver look, "A little boy who cannot manage to hold his own Prayer-Book quietly and firmly during God's holy worship, cannot surely be trusted with two to carry home." |
