Rejoice with me for I have found the piece which was lost
A rising young minister frantically searches for his missing sermon on a Sunday morning. A neighbor’s boy rushes in with the manuscript just as the final hymn begins, revealing the text in a moment of dramatic laughter. The tale ends with the minister never forgetting his sermon again.
