  1. Religious Stories.
    About twenty years ago, there lived a man named Mr McMahon from Broadford. He was at Mass one Sunday, and was on one knee. The priest told him to get on his two knees but he wouldn't. The priest went on the altar and have a sermon about him. He turned his back on the alter. The priest said that he was a disgrace to the people that reared him. A week later he died.
