Synopsis
But what's the church for, sir? The sun's werry hot to-day, sir; and Mr. Shepherd, he say, sir, that the church is like the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. So, you see, if I was to sit out in the sun, instead of comin' in here to the cool o' the shadow, I wouldn't be takin' the church at her word. It does my heart good to sit in the old church, sir. There's a something do seem to come out o' the old walls and settle down like the cool o' the day upon my old heart that's nearly tired o' crying, and would fain keep its eyes dry for the rest o' the journey. My old man's stockin' won't hurt the church, sir, and, bein' a good deed as I suppose it is, it's none the worse for the place. I think, if He was to come by wi' the whip o' small cords, I wouldn't be afeared of his layin' it upo' my old back. Do you think he would, sir?

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Seaboard Parish V1 is a novel written by the renowned Scottish author George MacDonald. The book is set in a small coastal village in Scotland called Aberalva, where the protagonist, a young minister named Malcolm MacPhail, is assigned to take charge of the local parish. The story revolves around MacPhail's experiences in the village, where he encounters a range of characters, from the pious and devout to the cynical and skeptical. As MacPhail tries to establish himself in the community, he finds himself drawn into the lives of the villagers, including a young woman named Effie, who is struggling with her faith, a wealthy landowner named Mr. Soulis, who is haunted by his past, and a group of fishermen who are facing financial ruin. The novel explores themes of faith, redemption, and the struggle between good and evil. MacDonald's writing is known for its poetic language and vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape. The Seaboard Parish V1 is the first in a series of three novels set in Aberalva, and is considered a classic of Scottish literature.''But what's the church for, sir The sun's werry hot to-day, sir; and Mr. Shepherd, he say, sir, that the church is like the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
