                1. Comment on the proper application of religion: 'It is always the frailest, the oldest and the poorest that brave the worst weather, to prove and maintain their constancy to dear old Mother church:this wild and windy morning not one affluent family attended ... all lined and cushioned pews were empty; only on the bare oaken seats sat ranged the grey-haired elders and feeble paupers.'
