CHAPTER XXVIII.
CHANCELLOR WYTHE'S DEATH.

We have carried our Parsons to places not usually frequented by men of the cloth. We have described them as they appeared in their day. If there was anything objectionable in in their conduct, let those who think so draw a moral from it, and teach those who agree with them to avoid the evil. The characters of men should be described with truthfulness. Let the evil be avoided; let the good be imitated. For our own part, we admire them for the common sense they displayed, for placing themselves in positions where the good they might do overbalanced the appearance of evil.

The bedside of the sick and dying is a position recognized by all as appropriate for a minister.
