Let all those congregations, then, who have had devolved on them the powers of the old patrons,--let them make their election on the same principles that the Prince of Mansoul patronised.

Let them choose a probationer who, young though he must be, has the making of a seer in him.

Let them listen for the future seer in his most stammering prayers.
Somewhere, even in one service, his conscience will make itself heard, if he has a conscience.

Rather remain ten years vacant than call a minister who has no conscience.

The parish minister of Mansoul sometimes seemed to be all conscience, and it was this that made his head so full of judgment, his tongue so full of a brave boldness, and his heart so full of holy love.
