THE TEST OF ELDER PILL: THE COUNTRY PREACHER. [Illustration: Leaf leading verse in chapter introduction] | The lonely center of their social life,
The low, square school-house, stands
Upon the wind-swept plain,
Hacked by thoughtless boyish hands,
And gray, and worn, and warped with strife
Of sleet and autumn rain. | [Illustration: Leaf following verse in chapter introduction]
