Spener

Pastor Spener had learned to fight shy of so many suspicions, so many discomfortable questions.

For many years Pastor Spener had been used to hold forth on sins and vanities at this hour before twilight.

The parsonage at Wailoa could never have been placed or built by any one of the Reverend Spener's level temperament.

A sonorous, pious-minded Spener; much more in earnest than readers now think!

Its originator was Philipp Jakob Spener, a man of remarkable zeal and godly life.
