The idee of havin’ a heathen from heathen lands come to labor with him on religion kinder shook him up, from all I can hear.
I shouldn’t wonder if he did leave off his dretful trade, and come part way up to a heathen’s standard of morality.
But if he duz, no thanks are due to our own law or to our own gospel. They wuz both weighed in the balances and found wantin’.
If things are ever put on a more religious and noble and riz up footin’ it will all be caused by the missionary efforts of a heathen.

Another thing about our contoggler interested Al Faizi dretfully. It wuz some talks he had with her about wimmen’s dress.

The pressin’ in and destroyin’ all the vital organs by lacin’ in the waist. He expressed great wonder that a civilized people could commit this crime aginst the laws of health and the solemn laws of heredity.
He said when he contrasted the loose, comfortable robes of his own wimmen with the deformities caused by tight lacin’, more and more he wondered at the strange sights of civilization.
