Here comes a Jersey minister into the thick of the fight. He announces: "Gentlemen of my neighbor hood, come to church. I’ll give you a good, cool, comfortable chair. I’ll even 1st you smoke. Balog your pipe or cigar, and while 1 preach, smoke end take front ease-only listen." The outcome of this has not appeared.
