Mrrr... Re: King being a real king

Interesting to note that the initials, MLK, are the Hebrew for "king" (pronounced melekh, but in Hebrew vowels are normally not written). He was from a clerical family (at least, his dad was pastor of the same church he later pastored; don't know about his paternal grandfather) so the coincidence may not have been unintentional.

Mary, I don't know exactly what you mean by that? Are you saying there was a song "keep your hand on the plough" that the tune came from, or that there was a song about Paul and Silas that involved ploughs, or what?
