Example Sentences
There is accommodation for 1,500, all the seats being free, but at one time the worshippers were limited in their freedom of sitting by the males having to take their places on one side and the females on the other, a custom which gave rise to the following epigram: "Our churches and chapels we generally find Are the places where men to the women are joined; But at Christ Church, it seems, they are more cruelhearted, For men and their wives go there and get parted."
