from a Western trip. is telling story about

travels. The men were brothers. well along

Neither had ever paid attention to religious
affairs, but a stirring evangelist had finally
aroused the elder man to feel that the church
was where he belonged. He endeavored TO
persuade his brother to join the church with
him, but whenever the subject was men
