midnight
`` Re-creation ! '' sez Arvilly . `` If you think drinkin ' pizen whiskey is re-creatin ' a man , you 're different from me . '' `` And me , too , '' sez I. `` If you call it re-creatin ' to go to the Poor Man 's Club sober and sane , '' sez Arvilly , `` and stagger home at midnight crazy drunk , I say he hai n't no right to re-create himself that way ; he re-creates himself from a good man and worthy member of society into a fiend , a burden and terror to his family and community . Now Elder White 's idee of re-creatin ' men is different ; he believes in takin ' bad men and re-creatin ' 'em into good ones , and I wish that every minister on earth would go and do likewise . '' `` I know nothin ' about Elder White , '' sez Elder Wessel hautily . `` He 's our minister in Loontown , '' sez Arvilly .
