Mrs. Ingersoll and Mrs. McKinley as Mourners
When old Bro. Bob Ingersoll died the Christians
expatiated upon the alleged excessive grief of Mrs. Ingersoll, and said it was
no more than natural for a woman who had none of the consolations of religion.
Now, good Methodist Bro. McKinley has gone dead
and the newspapers report that his Christian wife is likely to die from grief.
How is this thing, anyhow?
