The Browns , Pauls , Randalls , Jamesons , Tapieys , would turn up , smiling , radiant and self-assured as if they had never been absent from church a single service . Their manner almost seemed to declare that they had been there day and night . O , young people , do dare to be rainy-weather Christians ! Aunt Stanshy and Charlie were walking away from the church the noon of the Sunday after the grand march . At St. John 's , the Sunday-school followed the morning service . `` Aunty , '' said Charlie , nudging his companion , `` here comes somebody . '' That somebody was Mr. Walton , to whom were intrusted the spiritual interests of the congregation .
