About this listen

This short story by Mark Twain was not published until 1916, six years after his death in 1910, because his family considered it too scandalous. After all, what could be more scandalous then attacking religion and war. Narrator John Greenman takes us inside that church as the preacher beseeches God to grant them victory and protect our troops when a stranger appears.

The audio was laced with compression artifacts, sounded akin to a low quality voice memo

Excellent short, audio quality not so much
