HOSPITALITY IN OLD TIMES
The Rev. Asa Bullard tells this incident illustrating the hospitality expected of the parish minister in former days:
The clergyman’s house, in those days, was indeed regarded as the minister’s tavern. It was open to all clergymen. Now and then a minister would be found who would call on a perfect stranger for hospitality, giving very strange reasons. One who had been traveling in Maine called on a pastor of one of the large churches in Massachusetts for entertainment during the night; and he gave as a reason for taking such liberty that “he met his brother one day, as they both stopt at the same trough to water their horses.” (Text.)—“Incidents in a Busy Life.”
