When you go TO church, young
folks, the first thing you do is 10 shut
fie your feet over the floor. then whis-
per to your neighb0r, giggle as much
az possible; then if you don't succeed
In annoying those who want to hear
the sermon, pull out your watch (if
you have one) every few minutes,
wind 1t little. close it with bang
by doing this every one will appreci-
ate your efforts, but they will be I'M
der more obligations to you, If you
can't behave in church, if you would
stay at home. GEORGE.
