IT WAS FAMILIAR.
BY THE DEACON. My memory is very good, That sermon I have heard before, But then it’s new to all the rest, So I'll doze oft without a snore. BY THE TRUSTEE. That sermon I have got by heart, I heard it first in sixty-seven, But then it’s fresh to other folks, And would be were it preached in heaven. BY THE ELDER. I’ve heard that sermon many times, Expect to hear it ten times more, But it’s a comfort that his bar’l Won’t last to reach the other shore. BY THE PASTOR. This week my children have been sick, It seemed at times that I must fall, So in place of the sermon I have read An epistle from St. Paul.
