...gravel slide, got one foot frozen, had the end of his thumb sliced by Harvey (deliberate torture), got his jaw knocked half in two by an ax (Harvey again, an accident, no apology). Occasionally a cowboy stopped for a few days - most of them left lice -or a river baptism relieved the monotony: "As the women waded into the river, gasping with every breath, their long wrappers floated about their legs.

The Proposed Statement included nine "Things Believed in Common"-including the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper-by the two churches, so broadly drawn that none but theological nigglers could object to them.
