shoulders the corpse of his father wrapped
in bed sheet. 1t was in suburb of New
Orleans during n yellow fever epidemic.
People were dying by hundreds. At night
nothing but the rattle of the dead cart
broke the stiffness as the dismal burdens
were borne over the bleached roads toward
the ditch ut the upper levee.

the body tenderly down upon the burned

sweat from his face and neck. Once a
man came out from shop bringing him
a mug Of water. He murmured his thanks
and swallowed the liquid rapidly. Then
he shouldered his burden and went on.

stumbled and fell forward. When they

salary Of its pastor $50 after his wife died
because his expenses wouldn't be as large.
Soon after he had a call to another field,
and new pastor with a large family came.
But the salary was not raised; on the CON

his children would soon be able to work.
