My mother died when I was three years old, and a few years later my father married the church organist. So from the time I was very young, church was a big part of our lives. We had church and Sunday school on Sunday mornings, prayer service on Wednesday night, and revivals every fall. Our church took care of its own but only its own. If a member became sick, the preacher and other church members went to see them and always brought flowers.
