(Rising) I do hope you will be able to attend the services to-morrow morning. Mr. Pickering has written a beautiful sermon on the evils of gossip... a beautiful sermon. I feel that it is the best thing he has written in all the forty years of his righteous work. I am sure it will thunder down the ages as his masterpiece. The sentiment, the beautiful English, and even the punctuation... are really marvelous. Of course, Mr. Pickering and I both realize that there is very little gossip in Northampton... but it is best to know sin when one encounters it. Good afternoon, Mrs. Warren.
