- "Every parish must have a history, every parish has a register, every person has a parish."
Bishop Stubbs
These all are gone, their little day is o'er,
They laugh, they weep, they sport, they toil no more;
Their feet are still, and others in their room
With busy step are hurrying to the tomb.

And others yet come forth to run the race;
And yet that race by others shall be run
Till time is over and the world is done.
