that when the doors are pressed to

A certain parishoner dealt in old
horses, alternating his spells OF labor
with heavy sprees. During the pc
riod of depression which followed each
overindulgence John habitually took to
bed and there diligently studied the
family Bible. During one OF these fits
of attempted reformation his condition

at the time happened to be passing.
