 witn tne girls. My aunt, the Misses Doar, w^ere truly 

 ji others oi Israel iii this iSazareth Church, and 1 verily be 

 iieve that they thought they had special charge of it and its 

 ministers, 'lo show how hard it was for them to forego any 

 of its services: just after the ^V"ar, when their horses were 

 stolen, tne minister came on his rounds, the}' could not 

 walk but go they would. kSo had a yoke of oxen caught 

 and hitched to the carriage, ordered the old coachman, 

 with beaver hat, to the box, and drove to church, quite un- 

 conscious of the amusement they were creating, and inno^ 

 cent of any loss of pride. In those days the feeling that 

 all men were brethren obtained, and creed or sect made no 

 difference in kindly feeling. Here is a little incident that 

 proved this : There was an old blind Methodist preacher, 

 a Mr. Davis, who came to this Parish and chanced to stop 

 at Dr. John Palmer, (an Episcopalian,) and there he re- 

 mained for twenty-five or thirty years, having family pray- 

 ers for them night and morning, and was tenderly cared for 

 until he died. I have seen him often, he preached at the 

 upper chapel and was buried there. Another Methodist, 

 who dwelt amongst us. much beloved by all, though he often 

 took men to task for their shortcomings, both in and out 

 of the i)ulifit, was the Rev. Daniel DuPre, reared by Col. 

 Samuel Warren, and under the influence of the Episcopal 

 Church, he was converted and joined the Methodist Church, 

 became a i)reacher, remaining faithfully to the last, doing 

 such work as came within his sphere; though a Methodist, 

 he seemed never to have forgotten the Liturgy of his early 

 Church, or to have any repugnance to using it. For years
