at the reporters, who sat at a table
just in front of the pulpit, and said:
And want to tell you fellows that
I like you lot in spite of your mani
fold faults. You boys don't treat me
right, though. You take my sermons
and pick out piece here, a piece there
and a piece somewhere else. Then
you string the pieces together, and,
naturally, they read funny.
