Democratic Sentinel, Volume 12, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1888 — Preachers. [ARTICLE]

Preachers.

I like preachers, says Bill Arp. They hold us back from going to extremes. They Are the conservatives. They are good citizens and set us a good example. They are the balance-wheels of society, the scotch to the wagon, the air-brakes to the train, the pendulum to the clock. They are like the Sabbath that gives us rest and peace. They are to society what the Judge is to the law. I love ’em all, and when they are blotted out, which God forbid, I want to go, too. In sickness, in trouble, in affliction, yes, in the last agonies, they are with us and comfort us, while the busy world wags on. God bless the preachers of this land—the preachers of every creed that teaclx love to our Creator and love and kindness to one another.— Terns Siftings.
