Excerpt: ... was aught of interest either to church or town in the simple neighborly kindness. It is a fact-though Dan at this time, would not have admitted it, even to himself-that the hours spent in the garden, with Denny enthroned upon the big rock, and Deborah calling an occasional cheery word from the cottage, were by far the most pleasant hours of the day. Every nerve and muscle in the splendid warm-blooded body of this young giant of the hills called for action. The one mastering passion of his soul was the passion for deeds-to do; to serve; to be used. He had felt himself called to the ministry by his desire to accomplish a work that would be of real worth to the world.

For nearly a week now, Dan had found no time to touch the garden; he was resolved this day to make good his neglect. An hour before Denny was up the minister was ready for his work. As he went to get the garden-tools from the little lean-to woodshed, Deborah called from the kitchen, ''Tis airly ye are this mornin'' sir. It''s not many that do be layin'' awake all the night waitin'' for the first crack o'' day, so they can get up to somebody else''s work fer thim. The minister laughingly dodged the warm-hearted expressions of gratitude he saw coming. I''ve been shirking lately, he said. If...
