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.
