 According to St John the wind bloweth where 1t listeth and thou nearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence 1t cometh, nor whiiher 1t goeth.
 This looks like sneaking in and taking the NJ. E. preachers job, and then afraid to be known. If I had written and shown such a stony heatt as the one who refused to sign up, 1 would not come out in the light. and let the people know who am.

No, 1 do not want to cram 1t down any ones throat, and if 1 did l could not cram 1t down that per sons whose heart Is full of deceit, and who makes fun of God $ com mands when his children obey him in Baptism that shows forth his death, burial and resurrection.
