* FireAndBrimstoneHell: Most Christian teachings of the late 1800s emphasized fire and brimstone and fear of Hell. While Reverend Alden's usual teachings reflected the evolution of Christian preaching of the 1970s and 1980s, wherein fire and brimstone were de-emphasized, it was not unheard of for the kind and gentle preacher to deliver a fiery sermon. This episode was one such example, although delivered offscreen and Charles mentions it afterward. Said sermon was inspired by Reverend Alden being butted in the rear by the goat.
