Then she suddenly got on her feet . `` This is too dull for me , '' she exclaimed . `` I want something more exciting . '' Mr. Davidson stopped short and Peg marched down the aisle in the midst of complete silence . Half way down the aisle she turned around and faced the minister . `` There are so many hypocrites in this church that it is n't fit for decent people to come to , '' she said . `` Rather than be such hypocrites as most of you are it would be better for you to go miles into the woods and commit suicide .
