The Limit Reached'at One Some time ago I wawat a funeral -- where- three men .of-- the cloth were ~ -present- to make remarks as they claimed, hnt preach as they did.

The third speaker was^ the limit. For he paid he really w&s ' 1 " not -in a position- To -say anything hut" being a life long friend of the deceas " ed if he did rot^sa v . something The J. dead i"nuii_iiL i Uu cm-hot Would' get' : mad,-Who-'ever-hcard of such a thing!
