The old church ways be good enough for me," said Miller Pendelly as he placed on the table a capacious jug of cider, laying a friendly left hand on the shoulder of Jake Pullsford, the carrier, as he bent across the side of the settee with the high back."I ne'er could see aught that was helpful to the trade of a smith in such biases as the Quakers, to name only one of the new-fangled sects," said Hal Holmes, the blacksmith, shaking his head seriously.

The old church ways be good enough for me," said Miller Pendelly as he placed on the table a capacious jug of cider, laying a friendly left hand on the shoulder of Jake Pullsford, the carrier, as he bent across the side of the settee with the high back."I ne'er could see aught that was helpful to the trade of a smith in such biases as the Quakers, to name only one of the new-fangled sects," said Hal Holmes, the blacksmith, shaking his head seriously. "So I holds with Miller.""Ay, that's the way too many of ye esteems a religion—' Will it put another crown in my pocket?' says you. If't puts a crown in your pocket,'tis a good enough religion; if't puts half-a-crown in your pocket,'tis less good; if't puts naught in your pocket, that religion is good for naught."
Autorenporträt
Frank Frankfort Moore (1855-1931) was an Irish novelist, playwright, and poet. He was a unionist and a Protestant from Belfast, yet his historical fiction during the Home Rule agitation did not shy away from themes of Irish-Catholic dispossession. Moore was born in Limerick but raised in Belfast, where he recalls seeing dragoons, sabres drawn, rushing sectarian riots in the street below his nursery window as his earliest recollection. Moore's father was a successful clockmaker and goldsmith, and the family was well-educated (French and German were both spoken). The elder Moore, however, as a member of the ultra-puritan Open Brethren group, wanted to limit his children's reading to religious and didactic publications. Michael Paget Baxter, the evangelist who recognized Emperor Napoleon III as the Beast in the Book of Revelation, was a frequent visitor. Moore attended the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, where he swiftly learned to reject his father's ideas. He remembered the spread of certain slanderous lyrics titled "Mr. Baxter and The Beast," which "proved" that Baxter himself was the Antichrist. Moore praised Irish scientist John Tyndall's statement of scientific materialism at a British Science Association conference in Belfast in 1874, mocking the angry reaction of local Presbyterian ministers.
