My Brother John
by Herbert PurdumAs brothers go I suppose John was a pretty good one, and I suppose I couldn't really blame him for becoming a preacher. If he'd only have settled down somewhere everything would have been fine. But not him! He had to be a circuit rider. And not just anyplace! He had to pick out the wildest, toughest part of the whole blamed frontier, where the law came in calibers and God was nothing but a word used to cuss with. Most folks would figure it was tough enough trying to stay alive on the frontier, what with red Injuns and wild critters and just plain badmen running around loose and looking for trouble, without deliberately taking on a killer outfit like Saber. Leastways I've only known one man who was reasonably sane that had that kind of nerve--only he called it faith: MY BROTHER JOHN.
