"Sis, I'll stump you to go to church with me this morning!"
It may have been rather a peculiar form of invitation to attend upon the service of the sanctuary, but that was not the reason for the startled expression on Jane Ray's face. She simply couldn't believe that it was her brother Cary who was making the proposal. Church! -- when had Cary ever gone to any church whatever? -- unless it might have been for the purpose of gathering material for some brilliant, ironic article with which to do his share in that old fight of the world against the forms of religion. As for herself -- it had long been her custom to employ her Sunday mornings in making up her business accounts for the week.
