“We must learn to face our fears. Meet what terrifies us most head on. This strengthens the body, mind, and soul, my son. It is for this reason I am sending you to the town of Rapture. You will do much good there and the heathens’ souls will be saved. God gave man dominion over the animal kingdom and as man worships the one, true God, God is in control of what befalls mankind. God will reward a believing farmer with the rain he sorely needs to save his harvest. God will punish a non-believing farmer with a drought to remind him that the wages of sin are death. There is nothing He cannot accomplish. Man is made in the image of God, you understand, so we must believe just as strongly in ourselves.”

“What have I done, Reverent Blythe? I have prayed here at the rectory each day. I have given away most of my possessions. I have not distracted myself with the sorts of things men my age have outside the rectory – tobacco, whiskey, and the like. Why I am being punished with reassignment?“

"You are a good man, Walter. I’ve nothing critical to say of your daily habits. We just feel it’s high time you put your faith into action. You will be doing the Lord’s work. Even He did not spend all his time praying and reading at the temple or sweeping the floors.”

“Then I’ll work twice as hard! I’ll—“

“No, Walter. There is much good that can come from your time in Rapture. We’ve noticed a pallor lately that can easily be cured with fresh air -- brisk exercise, even. We’ve even caught you daydreaming a time or two.” The head pastor smiled slightly and placed a hand on his shoulder like a knowing father.
