- There was once a Priest and he was always shooting on a gentleman's farm. The gentleman was a Protestant and he objected to the Priest's shooting on his farm. After a while the Priest said that something terrible would happen to the gentleman.Soon afterwards the gentleman died and the Priest said that he was in Hell. The late gentleman's son heard what the Priest said and he invited the Priest to dine with him. When the Priest went to the house he was told where the gentleman's son was and he went to him. When the Priest entered the room where the son was a gun was pointed at him and the son asked him why he said his father was in Hell. He also told the Priest that unless he proved to him that his father was in Hell he would shoot him.(continues on next page)
