Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-10134.txt)
Sent 1: So it was that J.W. and Marty had come into the inner places of each other's lives.
Sent 2: Of all the developments of Institute week, naturally the one which filled J.W.'s thoughts with a sort of awed gladness was Marty's decision to offer himself for the ministry.
Sent 3: Joe Carbrook's right-about-face was much more dramatic, for J.W. saw, when the decision was made, that Marty could not have been meant for anything but a preacher.
Sent 4: It was as fit as you please.
Sent 5: As to Joe, previous opinion had been pretty equally divided; one side leaning to the idea that he might make a lawyer, and the other predicting that he was more likely to be a perpetual and profitable client for some other lawyer.
Sent 6: In the light of the Institute happenings, it was to be expected that the question of college would promptly become a practical matter to four Delafield people.
Sent 7: Marty was greatly troubled, for he knew if he was to be a preacher, he must go to college, and he couldn't see how.
Sent 8: J.W. felt no great urge, though it had always been understood that he would go.
Sent 9: Marcia Dayne had one year of normal school to her credit, and would take another next year, perhaps; but this year she must teach.
