Summary: "How Deacon Tubman and Parson Whitney Kept New Year's" by W. H. H. Murray is a collection of tales written in the late 19th century. The stories revolve around the lives of characters in a small town, particularly focusing on the jolly Deacon Tubman and the somber Parson Whitney, examining themes of joy, community, and the human experience during a festive time like New Year's. The narrative blends humor with an insightful exploration of human nature, especially as seen through the relationships and interactions between the characters. The opening of the book sets the scene with Deacon Tubman awakening on New Year's Day, full of cheer and exuberance for the new year. As he navigates the challenges of the morning routine, including a humorous struggle with his clothing and an unexpected New Year's gift from his housekeeper, Miranda, the deacon's infectious joy is palpable. His character is buoyant and optimistic, contrasting sharply with the notion of grief or sorrow, creating a lively atmosphere. After exchanging good wishes with Miranda and his dog, Towser, he decides to visit Parson Whitney, determined to bring some of his cheerful spirit to the parson, who has recently been worried about declining attendance at the church. The opening captures Deacon Tubman’s delightful persona and sets the stage for the humorous and heartfelt adventures that are to unfold throughout the stories.
