Forgot his nyme an' all. I s'y, how abaout him, anyw'y?" "Boys," said Ryder, "I'll tell you. Nickerson yes, I know the yarns about him. It was this way y'see, I ain't keeping anything from you, boys. Two years ago he was a Methody preacher in Santa Clara.
"She offers to teach me," she said to herself. "I am so sorry that I was not able to teach her. I never read much, any way, until I came under the influence of the Methody. I might have taught her spiritual things any one can have spiritual knowledge, and that is the highest of all. But I have loved my own will, and to give vent to my temper and tongue. I will change it all.

And where's it landed me?" He swept his hand around. "Heark to Red Beard!" giggled Fat George. "Quite the Methody man, ain't he?" A gust of passion darkened the giant's face.
My boys all swear like Sam Hill; and I used to swear mighty big oaths till about a month ago, when the Methody parson told me that if I did not leave it off I should go to a tarnation bad place; so I dropped some of the worst of them." "You would do wisely to drop the rest; women never swear in my country." "Well, you don't say! I always heer'd they were very ignorant. Will you lend me the tea?"
"You are the man who is to tell us of God." "I will never preach of Him again." "I built that log church yonder. Don't say that you will not preach in it.

"What about church, Auntie Jinit?" she asked teasingly. "Mr. Martin won't go to Dr. Murray since Tom Teeter goes you'll have to turn Methody!" The lady gave her a reassuring look out of the corner of her eye.
'We'd been engaged I couldn't help that and he worships the ground I tread on. But it's no use. I'm not responsible, you see. His two sisters are against it, though I've the money.
