30 THE FOGY DAYS AND NOW; 



I have never seen the Judge, but have hearn of hira, and I 

 suppose he is a powerful high larnt man, and if he has come 

 to hear me preach it don't make no difference to me. Brethren 

 when I preach the gospel I preach Jesus Christ and him cru- 

 cified, and I don't care if Judge Whitner or Judge Thunder 

 is here, and if Judge Whitner is in this house and is a Chris- 

 tian man I want him to get right down on his knees and pray 

 with us. " The Judge complied and he became a great admirer 

 of Brother Reid and his lifetime friend.
