taken for a new raiment of sackcloth
with ash decorations and buckets will be
set to catch the tears that fall from the
angels eyes. There will be great weep
ment at the holy mans fall.
My sympathy goes out to the poor mans
parson, he who backed his late holiness.
He who carried me defaulter's image in
his minds eye as the Coolest man in the
town-perhaps the county. He fell so hard
that the unbaptized were startled and made
take notice. This kind of thing tends to
break faith" After showing for years
how good a man God could make, now it
will be up to the Christians to show that
he was born and reared an infidel. That
Voltaire and Tom Paine got in their work
on him in his mothers womb and that
Satan put his X mark on him at birth.
His sanctity was hallowed by exaggeration
and his damnation will be exaggerated to
the other extreme He falls from the
Dome of Heaven to the Bottomless Pit
of He'll. His sin found him out. He was
holy as long as he did not get caught. The
sin of being found out is the unpardon-
able sin.
There is no such thing as a ruined
woman, it is mere Pigment of the mind
until somebody tells, and then the zig
ment" is crystalized into adamantine fact.
By the burglars fruits shall he be
known. AS Christian, his fruit was the
best in the Temple Market. God smote
smile in his countenance. AS a virgin
Christian, his lamp was kept filed with
Oil of the John d. brand and its wick was
trimmed and the KEROSENE glare shone
abroad, about, above, beyond, by, during,
ETC., clear through all propositions and
propositions. His name too "Kerrill Kim
berly, of Goshen" Land of Goshen! A
beautiful alliterative name and a Biblical
abode of nativity! Why, the man could not
help becoming saint with such a name
and birth environment.
What will the Grand Jury of Norwich
do? "The most reverend grand juror"
This sounds similar to The Right Royal
Ringer of the Rinky Ranky. Burglary
loves a sanity mark as death does a shin
ing one"
Hank! The Herald Angels Sing:
GLORY to This New Found Thing!"
