Deacon in the Osborne Farmer:
There are always u few men in
every church who think they
can preach lots better sermons
than the minister The
man who mows the weeds in
front of Ids place und keeps hia
trees trimmed has done irore
for hia' community than the
citizen who has flguied out
which political faction w ill snve
