|        A
sailor's wife approached
the pastor
(DO) {of her 
 church} just as he
was
stepping {into the pulpit},
and handed
 him (IO) a
note
(DO). The
note
said[CNE],
"Harold Peat, 
 having gone {to sea},
his
wife requests[CNE]
the congregation 
 (IO) to pray {for
his safety}."
      The
minister
hastily
unfolded
the
note
(DO), and
{with 
 his mind} {on the sermon} he
was
about (PA[Note
#1]) to make,
 he announced:
"Harold Peat,
having gone to see  his
wife, 
 requests[CNE]
the congregation (IO)
to pray {for his safety}."
