Yes, My Saunterer . . . such as it would seem to the casual observer. For the evangelical does as the evangelical does. And the works of redemption take many forms. The least of which is broiling the pasture of Polyface Farm. And the Jeremiah’s have come before, and yet gone again, each with their wailings of admonition “ to start livin’ to beat hell.”
