He was a professional. As an actor enjoyed grease-paint and call-boards and stacks of scenery, so Elmer had the affection of familiarity for the details of his profession--hymn books, communion service, training the choir, watching the Ladies' Aid grow, the drama of coming from the mysteries back-stage, so unknown and fascinating to the audience, to the limelight of the waiting congregation. And his mother--He had not seen her for two years, but he retained the longing to solace her, and he knew that she was only bewildered over his New Thought harlequinade.
Era su profesión. Lo mismo que un actor disfruta con la pintura y con las tablas y bastidores, así gozaba Elmer con las cosas relacionadas con su ministerio: los himnarios, los servicios de comunión, los ensayos del coro, el cuidado de la Conferencia de señoras, las entradas en el pulpito, los misterios de la antecámara, tan desconocida y fascinadora para el auditorio, y su aparición ante los fieles que le estaban esperando. ¡Y su madre…! Hacía dos años que no la había visto; pero refrenó sus impulsos de correr a consolarla; sabía que estaba aturdida ante su arlequinada del Nuevo Pensamiento.
