A Sermon On Lumber In conclusion my friends, we can't Jet away from this lumber question. Why, every one of us spent our first days in a cradle made of lumber. Our livos have been lived between walls of two by fours and lath, with rafters over our heads and matched flooring beneath our feet. We have been sitting in wooden chairs, eating from wooden tables, riding m wooden wagons, and in the course of time will be laid to rest in wooden casketi. Lumber Is KInj In the Construction World.
