Hardshells of Hardeman Church Faith and Fervor
The author visits Hardeman where old country residents gather by buggies wagons and feet for Sunday worship. He notes the simple warm fellowship, the communal learning of sick and dead, babies in arms, and the solemn rite of foot washing on Communion days, contrasting it with modern progress and sensational religion. The pastor Doss Webb, son of Lige Webb, preaches in the same church where his forefathers preached, reflecting on the legacy of Uncle Lige and the dependency on simple faith over spectacle.
