The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, 

he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he 

moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before 

jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned

toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"
