REVEREND BOERSMA - Popular pastor, Reverend Boersma, becomes too popular for his own good. Elder Thomas sets out to take him down a peg. GREAT GRAND-POP SCHICHTE - Great Grand-Pop Schichte makes a mess of the immigration process, then defies Prohibition to establish a new local tradition. FANNY VAN ASSE - Devout and religious Fanny Van Asse struggles to commit suicide without losing salvation.
