CHAPTER XI.
PETER AND PAUL.
"As I was saying," the Other Professor resumed, "if you’ll just think over any Poem, that contains the words——such as
’Peter is poor,’ said noble Paul,
’And I have always been his friend:
And, though my means to give are small,
At least I can afford to lend.
How few, in this cold age of greed.
Do good, except on selfish grounds!
But I can feel for Peter's need,
And I will lend him fifty pounds!’
How great was Peter’s joy to find
His friend in such a genial vein!
