Maine Deacon and a Wise Punster Father
A Maine Baptist Deacon, noted for dry humor, raises a son who tests discipline at school. After the father permits the boy to defend himself against a whipping, the boy defies the teacher, learns restraint, and grows wiser. Anecdotes include a New Jersey editor, a circus ad, and a mother’s lesson about Cain.
