lists. an II you're a Methods stay with
the Methodists an the same with the Uni
tarians an 'Piscopalians. I never see nc
good come Of mixin.'
U Hawkinses amt never been milky
anyway. II don run In the family. I
guess you'd find the Hawkinses were Of
the Baptist persuasion way back TO John
h Baptist. II you'd look EN- up.
