To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
151 He on his part feels that his coiuiiiuance is at all times precarious ; that the mere vote of a majority, however obtained, in a par- ish meeting, is all that is necessary to his receiving the specified " notice ;" that the very fact that his removal may be so ef- fected is a standing temptation to any dis- affected or restless individual, or faction, to endeavor to secure such a vote ; and that all that is servile, timid, indifferent, or dis- organizing, in the materials of the society, is... available for his dismission, to such as are seeking that result. And the people are equally insecure on their part. But how unpropitious is a connection of this nature to that endeared, confiding, sa- cred intimacy which ought to subsist be- tween the shepherd and the flock !

The frequent dismission of ministers is an evil to all concerned.
