A Preview
"Three churches have stood on this spot since seventeen eighteen. The first two burned down. The original was a small wooden chapel. A hurricane wrecked it in seventeen twenty-two. They built a bigger one. Then came Good Friday, seventeen eighty-eight. A candle caught the drapes in the home of the army paymaster. The fire spread fast. Normally, someone rings the church bells."
