[Around The Tea-Table by T. De Witt Talmage]@TWC D-Link bookAround The Tea-Table CHAPTER XXX 5/14
Very attractive persons would find the supply greater than the demand.
But let us have a substitute suited to our age and land.
Let it be good, hearty, enthusiastic, Christian hand-shaking. Governor Wiseman, our grave friend at tea, broke in upon us at this moment and said: I am not fond of indiscriminate hand-shaking, and so am not especially troubled by the lack of cordiality on the part of church-goers. But I am sometimes very much annoyed on Sabbaths with the habit of some good people in church.
It may be foolish in me; but when the wind blows from the east, it takes but little to disturb me. There are some of the best Christian people who do not know how to carry themselves in religious assemblage.
They never laugh.
