He called the boys together and thus addressed them: “Fellows, this is a bigger rock than ever rolled down any hill. It will take lots of work to move her, but when she starts all the world can’t stop her. We can lift her out. I will be the boss, and you fellows work, and we will see the greatest thing that ever hap pened.” Many Sundays were spent in toiling at the sides and under neath the great rock.
