First, the weathercock begins to flash; then, a fainter + lustre gives the spire an airy aspect; next it encroaches on the tower, + and causes the index of the dial to glisten like gold, as it points to the + gilded figure of the hour. Now, the loftiest window gleams, and now the + lower. The carved framework of the portal is marked strongly out. At + length, the morning glory, in its descent from heaven, comes down the + stone steps, one by one; and there stands the steeple, glowing with fresh + radiance, while the shades of twilight still hide themselves among the + nooks of the adjacent buildings. Methinks, though the same sun brightens + it every fair morning, yet the steeple has a peculiar robe of brightness + for the Sabbath. + </p> + <p> + By dwelling near a church, a person soon contracts an attachment for the + edifice. We naturally personify it, and conceive its massive walls and its + dim emptiness to be instinct with a calm, and meditative, and somewhat + melancholy spirit. But the steeple stands foremost, in our thoughts, as + well as locally. It impresses us as a giant, with a mind comprehensive and + discriminating enough to care for the great and small concerns of all the + town. Hourly, while it speaks a moral to the few that think, it reminds + thousands of busy individuals of their separate and most secret affairs. + It is the steeple, too, that flings abroad the hurried and irregular + accents of general alarm; neither have gladness and festivity found a + better utterance, than by its tongue; and when the dead are slowly passing + to their home, the steeple has a melancholy voice to bid them welcome. + Yet, in spite of this connection with human interests, what a moral + loneliness, on week-days, broods round about its stately height! It has no + kindred with the houses above which it towers; it looks down into the + narrow thoroughfare, the lonelier, because the crowd are elbowing their + passage at its base. A glance at the body of the church deepens this + impression. Within, by the light of distant windows, amid refracted + shadows, we discern the vacant pews and empty galleries, the silent organ, + the voiceless pulpit, and the clock, which tells to solitude how time is + passing. Time,—where man lives not,—what is it but eternity? + And in the church, we might suppose, are garnered up, throughout the week, + all thoughts and feelings that have reference to eternity, until the holy + day comes round again, to let them forth. Might not, then, its more + appropriate site be in the outskirts of the town, with space for old trees + to wave around it, and throw their solemn shadows over a quiet green? We + will say more of this, hereafter. + </p> + <p> + But, on the Sabbath, I watch the earliest sunshine, and fancy that a + holier brightness marks the day, when there shall be no buzz of voices on + the exchange, nor traffic in the shops, nor crowd, nor business, anywhere + but at church. Many have fancied so. For my own part, whether I see it + scattered down among tangled woods, or beaming broad across the fields, or + hemmed in between brick buildings, or tracing out the figure of the + casement on my chamber-floor, still I recognize the Sabbath sunshine. And + ever let me recognize it! Some illusions, and this among them, are the + shadows of great truths. Doubts may flit around me, or seem to close their + evil wings, and settle down; but so long as I imagine that the earth is + hallowed, and the light of heaven retains its sanctity, on the Sabbath,—while + that blessed sunshine lives within me,—never can my soul have lost + the instinct of its faith. If it have gone astray, it will return again. + </p> + <p> + I love to spend such pleasant Sabbaths, from morning till night, behind + the curtain of my open window. Are they spent amiss? Every spot, so near + the church as to be visited by the circling shadow of the steeple, should + be deemed consecrated ground, to-day. With stronger truth be it said, that + a devout heart may consecrate a den of thieves, as an evil one may convert + a temple to the same. My heart, perhaps, has not such holy, nor, I would + fain trust, such impious potency. It must suffice, that, though my form be + absent, my inner man goes constantly to church, while many, whose bodily + presence fills the accustomed seats, have left their souls at home. But I + am there, even before my friend, the sexton. At length, he comes,—a + man of kindly, but sombre aspect, in dark gray clothes, and hair of the + same mixture,—he comes and applies his key to the wide portal. Now + my thoughts may go in among the dusty pews, or ascend the pulpit without + sacrilege, but soon come forth again to enjoy the music of the bell. How + glad, yet solemn too! All the steeples in town are talking together, aloft + in the sunny air, and rejoicing among themselves, while their spires point + heavenward. Meantime, here are the children assembling to the Sabbath + school, which is kept somewhere within the church. Often, while looking at + the arched portal, I have been gladdened by the sight of a score of these + little girls and boys, in pink, blue, yellow, and crimson frocks, bursting + suddenly forth into the sunshine, like a swarm of gay butterflies that had + been shut up in the solemn gloom. Or I might compare them to cherubs, + haunting that holy place. + </p> + <p> + About a quarter of an hour before the second ringing of the bell, + individuals of the congregation begin to appear. The earliest is + invariably an old woman in black, whose bent frame and rounded shoulders + are evidently laden with some heavy affliction, which she is eager to rest + upon the altar. Would that the Sabbath came twice as often, for the sake + of that sorrowful old soul! There is an elderly man, also, who arrives in + good season, and leans against the corner of the tower, just within the + line of its shadow, looking downward with a darksome brow. I sometimes + fancy that the old woman is the happier of the two. After these, others + drop in singly, and by twos and threes, either disappearing through the + doorway or taking their stand in its vicinity. At last, and always with an + unexpected sensation, the bell turns in the steeple overhead, and throws + out an irregular clangor, jarring the tower to its foundation. As if there + were magic in the sound, the sidewalks of the street, both up and down + along, are immediately thronged with two long lines of people, all + converging hitherward, and streaming into the church. Perhaps the far-off + roar of a coach draws nearer,—a deeper thunder by its contrast with + the surrounding stillness,—until it sets down the wealthy + worshippers at the portal, among their humblest brethren. Beyond that + entrance, in theory at least, there are no distinctions of earthly rank; + nor indeed, by the goodly apparel which is flaunting in the sun, would + there seem to be such, on the hither side. Those pretty girls! Why will + they disturb my pious meditations! Of all days in the week, they should + strive to look least fascinating on the Sabbath, instead of heightening + their mortal loveliness, as if to rival the blessed angels, and keep our + thoughts from heaven. Were I the minister himself, I must needs look. One + girl is white muslin from the waist upwards, and black silk downwards to + her slippers; a second blushes from topknot to shoe-tie, one universal + scarlet; another shines of a pervading yellow, as if she had made a + garment of the sunshine. The greater part, however, have adopted a milder + cheerfulness of hue. Their veils, especially when the wind raises them, + give a lightness to the general effect, and make them appear like airy + phantoms, as they flit up the steps, and vanish into the sombre doorway. + Nearly all—though it is very strange that I should know it—wear + white stockings, white as snow, and neat slippers, laced crosswise with + black ribbon, pretty high above the ankles. A white stocking is infinitely + more effective than a black one. + </p> + <p> + Here comes the clergyman, slow and solemn, in severe simplicity, needing + no black silk gown to denote his office. His aspect claims my reverence, + but cannot win my love. Were I to picture Saint Peter, keeping fast the + gate of heaven, and frowning, more stern than pitiful, on the wretched + applicants, that face should be my study. By middle age, or sooner, the + creed has generally wrought upon the heart, or been a-tempered by it. As + the minister passes into the church, the bell holds its iron tongue, and + all the low murmur of the congregation dies away. The gray sexton looks up + and down the street, and then at my window-curtain, where, through the + small peephole, I half fancy that he has caught my eye. Now, every + loiterer has gone in, and the street lies asleep in the quiet sun, while a + feeling of loneliness comes over me, and brings also an uneasy sense of + neglected privileges and duties. O, I ought to have gone to church! The + hustle of the rising congregation reaches my ears. They are standing up to + pray. Could I bring my heart into unison with those who are praying in + yonder church, and lift it heavenward, with a fervor of supplication, but + no distinct request, would not that be the safest kind of prayer? "Lord, + look down upon me in mercy!" With that sentiment gushing from my soul, + might I not leave all the rest to Him? + </p> + <p> + Hark! the hymn. This, at least, is a portion of the service which I can + enjoy better than if I sat within the walls, where the full choir and the + massive melody of the organ, would fall with a weight upon me. At this + distance, it thrills through my frame, and plays upon my heartstrings, + with a pleasure both of the sense and spirit. Heaven be praised, I know + nothing of music, as a science; and the most elaborate harmonies, if they + please me, please as simply as a nurse's lullaby. The strain has ceased, + but prolongs itself in my mind, with fanciful echoes, till I start from my + revery, and find that the sermon has commenced. It is my misfortune seldom + to fructify, in a regular way, by any but printed sermons. The first + strong idea, which the preacher utters, gives birth to a train of thought, + and leads me onward, step by step, quite out of hearing of the good man's + voice, unless he be indeed a son of thunder. At my open window, catching + now and then a sentence of the "parson's saw," I am as well situated as at + the foot of the pulpit stairs. The broken and scattered fragments of this + one discourse will be the texts of many sermons, preached by those + colleague pastors,—colleagues, but often disputants,—my Mind + and Heart. The former pretends to be a scholar, and perplexes me with + doctrinal points; the latter takes me on the score of feeling; and both, + like several other preachers, spend their strength to very little purpose. + I, their sole auditor, cannot always understand them. + </p> + <p> + Suppose that a few hours have passed, and behold me still behind my + curtain, just before the close of the afternoon service. The hour-hand on + the dial has passed beyond four o'clock. The declining sun is hidden + behind the steeple, and throws its shadow straight across the street, so + that my chamber is darkened, as with a cloud. Around the church-door all + is solitude, and an impenetrable obscurity beyond the threshold. A + commotion is heard. The seats are slammed down, and the pew-doors thrown + back,—a multitude of feet are trampling along the unseen aisles,—and + the congregation bursts suddenly through the portal. Foremost, scampers a + rabble of boys, behind whom moves a dense and dark phalanx of grown men, + and lastly, a crowd of females, with young children, and a few scattered + husbands. This instantaneous outbreak of life into loneliness is one of + the pleasantest scenes of the day. Some of the good people are rubbing + their eyes, thereby intimating that they have been wrapped, as it were, in + a sort of holy trance, by the fervor of their devotion. There is a young + man, a third-rate coxcomb, whose first care is always to flourish a white + handkerchief, and brush the seat of a tight pair of black silk pantaloons, + which shine as if varnished. They must have been made of the stuff called + "everlasting," or perhaps of the same piece as Christian's garments in the + Pilgrim's Progress, for he put them on two summers ago, and has not yet + worn the gloss off. I have taken a great liking to those black silk + pantaloons. But, now, with nods and greetings among friends, each matron + takes her husband's arm, and paces gravely homeward, while the girls also + flutter away, after arranging sunset walks with their favored bachelors. + The Sabbath eve is the eve of love. At length, the whole congregation is + dispersed. No; here, with faces as glossy as black satin, come two sable + ladies and a sable gentleman, and close in their rear the minister, who + softens his severe visage, and bestows a kind word on each. Poor souls! To + them the most captivating picture of bliss in heaven is—"There we + shall be white!" + </p> + <p> + All is solitude again. But, hark!—a broken warbling of voices, and + now, attuning its grandeur to their sweetness, a stately peal of the + organ. Who are the choristers? Let me dream that the angels, who came down + from heaven, this blessed morn, to blend themselves with the worship of + the truly good, are playing and singing their farewell to the earth. On + the wings of that rich melody they were borne upward. + </p> + <p> + This, gentle reader, is merely a flight of poetry. A few of the singing + men and singing women had lingered behind their fellows, and raised their + voices fitfully, and blew a careless note upon the organ. Yet, it lifted + my soul higher than all their former strains. They are gone, the sons and + daughters of music,—and the gray sexton is just closing the portal. + For six days more, there will be no face of man in the pews, and aisles, + and galleries, nor a voice in the pulpit, nor music in the choir. Was it + worth while to rear this massive edifice, to be a desert in the heart of + the town, and populous only for a few hours of each seventh day? O, but + the church is a symbol of religion! May its site, which was consecrated on + the day when the first tree was felled, be kept holy forever, a spot of + solitude and peace, amid the trouble and vanity of our week-day world! + There is a moral, and a religion too, even in the silent walls. And may + the steeple still point heavenward, and be decked with the hallowed + sunshine of the Sabbath morn! + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /><br /><br /> + </p> +<pre xml:space="preserve"> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Sunday at Home (From "Twice Told +Tales"), by Nathaniel Hawthorne + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK SUNDAY AT HOME *** + +***** This file should be named 9201-h.htm or 9201-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/9/2/0/9201/ + +Produced by David Widger + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + </body> +</html> |
