The Arlington Advocate, 9 August 1902

One of our undertakers was looking for a Protestant minister the other day and not one was in town. All were absent, we believe, on summer vacations but Rev. J.G. Taylor of the Heights, and he happened to be out of town on business. It was suggested that the church had abdicated, for the summer at least, to the world, the flesh, and the devil.
