There is no instance on record in which a heathen has been converted
as quickly as was Master Jaggars. The Superintendent held him by one
ear, and at the tenth stroke of the cane Mister Jaggars renounced his
heathenism and promised to smash his idol and return to the Christian
faith without a moment’s delay. The other heathen, alarmed by the fate
of their leader, fled to the barn, washed themselves, resumed their
clothing, and went homeward with sober countenances, singing missionary
hymns. The North Meriden revival of heathenism was a disastrous
failure, but nevertheless the boldness and originality of the scheme
devised by Master Jaggars must command our wonder and admiration.
