This chapter's epigraph is from the famous nursery rhyme "The Secret Garden," which tells the story of a young boy who grows up in a small town in the middle of nowhere. The boy's father, who is the town's chief minister, is a religious fanatic who believes in the power of prayer to heal the world. He believes that prayer is the key to salvation, and he believes that God's creation is the place where all the good things in the world come to pass. He also believes that the world is the center of the universe, and that the universe is the source of all good things. This is the first time the boy has seen a sermon, and his father's response to the sermon is one of disbelief and anger. He feels that God has placed him in this position because he is the son of a religious man, and therefore he has the right to pray for the world's salvation. His father, however, is not religious at all, and so he does not believe in prayer. He does not wish to sacrifice his son for the sake of the world, but rather to protect him from the evil of his own
