I read long ago that Mr. Garfield began his adult life planning or going to divinity school. Along the way he swerved into politics and wound up POTUS. On the day he was inaugurated his mother was said to have wept, saying how sad it was that James had stooped from preaching the Gospel, to merely being President of the United States.
—” saying how sad it was that James had stooped from preaching the Gospel, to merely being President of the United States.”
It’s a living.
