RECREATION

n : A particular kind of dejection to relieve a general fatigue. RECRUIT, n. A person distinguishable from a civilian by his uniform and from a soldier by his gait. Fresh from the farm or factory or street, His marching, in pursuit or in retreat, Were an impre ive martial spectacle Except for two impediments—his feet. Thompson Johnson. RECTOR n. In the Church of England, the Third Person of the parochial Trinity, the Curate and the Vicar being the other two. REDEMPTION, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin, through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned. The doctrine of Redemption is the fundamental mystery of our holy religion, and e whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have everlasting life in which to try to understand it. We must awake Man’s spirit from its sin, And take some special measure for redeeming it; Though hard indeed the task to get it in Among the angels any way but teaming it, Or purify it otherwise than steaming it. I’m awkward at Redemption—a beginner: My method is to crucify the sinner. Golgo Brone. 283
