MOORMANISM #23, 7-20-72 From McLeansboro Times Leader, McLeansboro, Illinois #Moormanisms

Moormanisms - Ira E. Moorman

I know what to expect from hornets, but I do not comprehend people.


A friend of mine in a hospital tells me he has chased leopards up the Amazon in Egypt.


A nurse told me she likes only clean jokes. When I tell her one I make sure I wash it thoroughly first.


There is a treasure I buried on my place when I was young. I think I will go there and dig

and see if I can again find my marbles.


The Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty is cruel and unconstitutional.


Personally I think one is more kind to a person to put him to death than to cage him for 20 or 30 years or more. Hiss has been in prison since 1942. I do not care what crime a human has done, I feel 30 years in prison is too much.


Hank made frequent trips to the veterans’ hospital in Danville. He must have been thinking about one of these visits  with two of the Moormanisms.

The Gospel According to Hank:

Scripture to read and think about that parallels the Moormanism about prison: 

Hebrews 13:3 'Remember the prisoners as if chained with them - those who are mistreated - since you yourselves are in the body also'. (NKJV)

Hank also felt that he could predict or trust what hornets would do and that it is very difficult to understand people and their actions.

Also in this issue of the Times Leader is an article about Tom Wheeler being hired at McKendree College.
