7 And eventually even the dumbest sheep will recognize who the best shepherd is,
8 Since the other shepherds can offer only sin and guilt and hell and the merest asip of wine in exchange for their meaningless rituals,
9 Whereas I can offer bConsolation.
CHAPTER 151 That's why it's time for us to get started,
2 And why I have called you together this evening,
3 And why I have gone to the trouble of drawing up a clist of things for you to do,
4 Because a Harrier with a dlist that he doesn't really have to think about is a happy eHarrier.
CHAPTER 161 And so, I have chosen you, Willie, to establish the fPontifical Harrier Parish of the United States of America,
2 gBecause you like words so much,
3 And I charge you to come up with a lot of hgreat words for Harriers to say,
4 Which will be called braying,
5 Because it can't really be called praying,
6 Since I won't be listening.
7 And to help you get started, I have also gone to the trouble of writing the first brayer for you,

8 Which is called the Harrier's Brayer,
9 And goes like this:
10 iOur friend, who art in Rio, Harry is your name.
11 jYour time has come.
12 kYour way is fun, up north, as it is in Rio.
13 lWe live for today and are rarely blamed.
14 We mforget our trespasses, as we forget those we have trespassed against.
15 nWe yield to temptation, but are not evil.
16 oSo there.
17 And if some of you are wondering, Where is the "For thine is the..." part, I have not forgotten it,
18 But I have decided to give it to you separately,
19 Because sometimes you'll want to use it, and sometimes you won't,
20 Which will seem properly mysterious and holy to all the people who are confused by it,
21 And is an incredibly important example of how things must be done in the Pontifical Harrier Parish.
22 So now I will give you the final part of the Harrier's Brayer,
23 Which is,
24 For thine is the pwisdom and the qpower and the rGold,
25 For as long as it lasts.
26 sSo there.
27 Got it?
28 And speaking of gold, added Harry,
29 Remember that words aren't the only important part of the Pontifical Harrier Parish.
