“How about cleaning them? I don’t believe they’ve had a good hard washing since the flood.” The suggestion came from Deacon Miller’s wife to the president.
“They can’t even be scrubbed for less than fifteen or twenty dollars, for I thought of that and asked Mrs. Simpson yesterday, and she said twenty cents a pew was the cheapest she could do it for.”
