Brother Goshorn is a mighty sincere man." "So he is, but his bein' sincere don't do me no good.

He wanted you to advise me to jine the Methodist class as a way of gittin' out of the difficulty.

And you was too good a Christian to ask me to change fer any sech reason, knowin' I wouldn't be fit for you ef I did." Cynthy Ann was silent.

She would have liked to have Jonas join the church with her, but if he had done it now she herself would have doubted his sincerity.
"Now, looky here, Cynthy, ef you'll say you don't love me, and never can, I'll leave you to wunst, and fly away and mourn like a turtle-dove.
But so long as it's nobody but Goshorn, I'm goin' to stay and litigate the question till the Millerite millennium comes.

I appeal to Caeesar or somebody else.
