Eb _ .
Ab They came to a town called Buzurti.

The next day being Gb Sunday, some of the boys Db went to church.
A sergeant commanded the boys in church, and after the chaplain had read the prayers, the text was taken up next.
Ab _ Those of the boys who had prayer books took them out, but this one boy only had a deck of cards, so he Eb spread them out.
The sergeant saw the cards and said, Soldier, put away those Ab cards.
_ After the services were over, the boy was taken prisoner, Db brought before the provo-marshal.
_ Ab The marshal said, Sergeant, why have you brought this man here?.
_ Db We're playing cards in church, Dbm sir.
_ Ab What have you to say for yourself, son?
_ .
Much, sir, replied the soldier.
The Db marshal said, I hope so, because if not, I shall punish you more than any man was ever punished.
_ _ The Ab soldier boy said, Sir, I had been on a long march for six days.
I Eb had neither Bible nor prayer book, _ but I hope to satisfy you, sir, with the purity of my intentions.

Db There were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

_ _ When I look Eb at the six, I Ab know that in six days God made this great heaven and earth.
