[News: Protestant Church]
[The fact that they're delivered midweek, when there's no special service scheduled, makes them all the more gossip worthy.
Midday, four large arrangements of Middlemist's Red Camellias are delivered to the Protestant church. The flower, which is all but extinct, shouldn't be in Repose at all. Two blooms exist in all the world, and they're both safely guarded in conservatories. And yet here they are, bright and just from bud, ready for worship. They'll bloom brilliantly through the weekend, without any droop for Sunday services and the visitors that come from all around the county to look upon them.
Word travels fast. The new preacher is largely credited with this miracle, and it seems it's a good week to find religion in Repose.]
