OLD BETHEL CHURCH

Old Bethel Church
Old Bethel Church
lived to see its congregation
pass away. Some passed out
into the churchyard, some just
pass by looking for other places.

No matter. It has stood alone
on the hill - faithfully, patiently
forty years now without a sign
of rot or decay. Willing, no doubt,
to wait another forty or more
if need be.

No matter.
The Church immortal
still commands the bluff.
