Anecdote of Lorenzo Dow and Affluent Citizen
An 19th century Pittsburg Post recounts Lorenzo Dow’s sermon ending with a dramatic cue against a thief in the audience, accusing John Smith of stealing an axe and demanding restitution. The tale blends humor with moral outrage as a spectator brags of wealth while the crowd eyes the culprit.
