Из древних КПК-шных вырезок...

Праздничное "богослужение"... Точнее, его отрывки. Атмосферность, к сожалению, от этого страдает, но полтора листа хох-инглиша это уж совсем жестоко.)


...I have watched you to-day, my people, as you walked in your ranks in solemn procession; and I have seen that your hearts are glad within you for the remission of your sins, and that you rejoice in your salvation.
...Yet I pray you that you consider at what price that salvation was bought. Surely it is very precious, and the price of it is above rubies; it is the price of blood...

...Then take your salvation, since it is yours! I fling it to you as a bone is flung to a pack of snarling curs! The price of your banquet is paid for you; come, then, and gorge yourselves, cannibals, bloodsuckers - carrion beasts that feed on the dead! It were better that you all should rot in your vices, in the bottomless filth of damnation!
...This is the body that was given for you -look at it, torn and bleeding, throbbing still with the tortured life, quivering from the bitter death-agony; take it, Christians, and EAT!
