Funeral Sermon From a Backwoods Minister
A clergyman reading a funeral service in a wild backwoods district forgets his prayer book and delivers the Epistle from memory. Locals mistake it for originality, praising the sermon, while the preacher notes the value of St Paul’s words to a region soon aided by Bible distribution. The piece also mentions the Nipsic becoming a prison ship at a naval station and a local lunch parlor ad.
