pastor as he bade farewell to his (lock:
" Brothers and Sisters, I have come to
say good-bye. 1 don't think God loves
this church, because none of you ever
die; I don't think you loe each other,
because I never marry any of you; 1
don't think you love me, because you
have not paid my salary your dona
tions are mouldy fruit and wormy ap
ples, and 'by their fruits ye iphall
know them.' Brothers, I am going
avny to a better place. I have been
called to be chaplain of a panltontlary.
AVliere I go, ye cannot come; I go to
prepare a place for you. and mny the
Lord have meicy on your souls."
