Before graduation from Bible school, each senior had to give a sermon in the chapel service. In spite of the fact that the aspiring preachers were there to learn how to deliver mighty sermons, this was for most of them “life’s worst moment.” With fellow students arrayed before them to catch every slip of the lip and later turn it into a public pun, and the august body of faculty and others forming a solemn background, most of the seniors were victims of nervousness and fear. In keeping with the importance of the occasion of the trial sermon, the students were accustomed to dress in their best dark suits and ties. The day came for Harry to pass his trial. He stood up and walked to the pulpit, Bible in hand, to face the student body in a flashy yellow sport shirt. Sleek ducks winged their way across the front of it.
