"The walls were tinted a rich cream color, the woodwork was painted white. There were new carpets in the aisles, and between them comfortable seats for nine hundred people. The fine old pulpit from which Jonathan Edwards had preached his first sermon was the center of a little garden of ferns and palms and vines and mosses, all growing in good ground, with a small fountain in their midst--a symbol of purity. A great sheet of plate glass behind the pulpit showed a thicket of evergreens. High above the pulpit was another big sheet of glass, through which one got a broad view of the sky, and it was framed in these words: 'The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork.' "The walls were adorned with handsome pictures loaned by my friends. On one wall were these modern commandments, most of which were gleaned from the masterly volume entitled _The Life and Writings of Robert Delance, Bishop of St. Clare_, which Harry had found in a London bookstore: "1. 'Be grateful unto God, for He hath given thee life, time, and this beautiful world. Other things thou shalt find for thyself.' "2. 'Be brave with thy life, for it is very long.' "3. 'Waste no time, for thy time is very little.' "4. 'See that this world is the better for thy work and kindness.' "5. 'Doubt not the truth of that thy senses tell thee, for thy God is no deceiver.' "6. 'Love the truth and live it, for no one is long deceived by lying.' "7. 'Give not unto the beast and neglect thy brother.' "8. 'Go find thy brothers in the world and see that these be many, for a man's strength and happiness are multiplied by the number of his brothers.' "9. 'Beware lest thy wealth come between thee and them and tend to thine own poverty and theirs.' "10. 'Suffer little children to come unto thee, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.' "The simple-hearted old Bishop had just the philosophy we needed. It seemed to have been carefully designed to meet the inventiveness of the modern sinner. He was turning out well and had already exerted a wholesome influence on the character of Harry. Would that all ancestors were as well chosen!
