This photo of an ad clipped from a magazine at a U-Tote-Em store
 in Paris, Texas by Phoebe Shinloin is evidence that people
are starting to read Calvinistic Cartoons more.

Finney's Nightmare


Benny Finney was afraid,
When on a pillow his head laid,
To dream of things like Romans 9;
Of Corky Velveeta and his kind.

Longfellow Poem Discovered


Here is a poem recently discovered in an old book at 

the Library of Congress by Nakoma Linkletter.

 

The Song of Finneyhaha

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

   On the shores of Gitche Gumee, 
by the crazy tent revival, 
Stood Charlie, the old preacher, 
Pointing with his finger westward, 
O'er the people pointing westward, 
To the purple clouds of sunset.
    Fiercely the red sun descending 
Burned his way along the heavens, 
Set the sky on fire behind him, 
As he posed with eyes a gleaming, 
   "I can create my own revivals, 
With repentance if I choose to, 
It's all about mathematics, 
Heaven blessed and automatic". 
So said Charlie while the sun set, 
With its glare upon his features.
