Brothers and sisters, l now will say
goodbye. l don't think God loves
this church, because none of you ever
die. don't think you love one an
other because l never marry any Of
you. l don't think you love me be-
cause you have not paid my salary
your donations are mouldy fruit and
wormy apples, and by their fruits ye
shall know them l am going away
to better place. l have been called
to be a chaplain of a penitentiary
Where go, ye cannot come, but &C
to prepare a place for you, and may
the Lord have mercy on your souls
Goodbye"
