Chapter 22-


Rev. Paul Ford is wandering through the Pendleton woods and worrying about the impending demise of his church. He wonders whether he should give a fiery sermon to his parishioners about hypocrisy. Pollyanna comes along and worries about his sad state. She reminds him of the Psalms and tells him of the Glad Game. The Reverend goes home and reads a magazine, which tells a story about a son filling a woodbox. He writes notes for a new sermon on being glad to do the Lord's work, and it is a great success.
