"And he spake this parable
unto them saying,
"What man of you having a hundred sheep,
"if you lose one of them,
doth not leave the ninety-nine, and..."
"Doth not leave the ninety-nine
in the wilderness,
"and go after that which was lost, until..."
"Until he find it."
"And when he hath found it, he layeth it,
"on his shoulder and rejoiceth.
"And when he cometh..."
All right, Zeke, sit yourself down.
"And when he cometh home
he calleth together his friends
"and neighbors saying..."
"He calleth to his friends and neighbors,
"saying unto them, 'Rejoice with me,
"'for I have found my sheep
which were lost."'
I recollect the time Sam Harkness
lost his old sow.
He come out one morning,
the pen be busted down,
the sow was gone.
Sam lit out after it to find it.
He had six or seven other pigs
that didn't run off.
But did Sam get down
on his marrowbones,
and thank the good Lord for that?
No, siree, not Sam.
He hunted high and low for that old...
As I was saying,
he hunted high and low for that old sow.
About all he...
About all he done that summer
was hunt for that sow.
Wouldn't even stop...
Wouldn't even stop hunting
when winter come.
And sure enough, one night,
when he was plowing home...
One night, when he was plowing home
through the snow,
he seen something move in the shadows.
Sam... Sam's right scared.
Figures maybe it's a bear.
Then the...
Then the...
Then the bear grunts
and it ain't no bear at all.
It's the sow!
Well, Sam was fitting to be tied.
The rejoicingest man you ever seen.
Ten times as rejoiceful for the lost one
as for 'em that stayed in the fold.
Now this here...
Now this here...
Now this here is the point!
It appears to me that
the devil be a-knocking at the
door of the house of worship.
If there's any of you
want to go get him, you're...
You'll be free to go.
'Cause the meeting's over.
Lookee here, Pastor Pile.
Alvin York done shot his initials
in this tree.
"A-Y," plain as day.
It was Alvin York, lke Botkin
and Buck Lipscomb in their liquor.
Who was you saying it was?
Who was you saying it was?
- It was Alvin, Mrs. York.
- How be you know it?
It wasn't Alvin, Mother York,
it was the liquor.
Mighty good shooting
for a man in his liquor.
Ain't it?
Say, let's do it again.
- Howdy, boys!
- Howdy!
- Howdy, Pastor.
- Howdy, Luke.
- We were looking for you Saturday.
- Couldn't get here no more than fly.
Roads are getting soggier and soggier
between here and Rugby.
- Is that so?
- Water is so deep
in some of 'em creek beds,
had to use old Betsy's belly for a boat.
How are you, Zeke?
I reckon you could have got here quicker
if you had carried Betsy.
Yeah, wished I could get me another mule
like old Flora.
They ain't turning out mules
like they used to.
No, sir!
Hey, what you got there, young fellow?
The very latest thing in ladies' hats,
the cloche model.
Women folks around here
wear split bonnets.
The young ones goes bareheaded.
Maybe so, but in modern merchandising,
the storekeeper endeavors
to create a demand.
Now in this line of ladies' bloomers,
very moderately priced,
has the finest elastic in the waistband,
also in the knees.
No amount of washing
will make it lose its snap.
- Your first trip in these parts, ain't it?
- Yes.
And we have them in three lovely colors.
Which we absolutely guarantee
will not fade or shrink.
Plenty of room in the seat, too.
I can tell you these garments
are mighty popular with the ladies.
- You can, huh?
- Yes.
Well, folks hereabouts wouldn't know
what 'em things is for.
- Lem?
