I could not write a sermon if I took a month to it.

If it were a paper on the management of a stable, now, I think I could write that--respectably.

I know what I am about there.

I could even write one on some of the diseases of horses and bullocks--but that's not what the church pays me for.

There's one thing though--it comes over me strong that I should like to read prayers in the old place again.
