    King Harmon was a protestant in this place long ago. He allowed no one to go into his house but protestants. He wrote on his front gate "No admission here for catholics". It happened that a poor man was passing by, and seeing note took out his pencil and wrote. "Whoever wrote this wrote it well for the same is written on the gates of hell".
