Holy water \u2014 straight from the River Jordan \u2014 had been poured from the missing basin insert into the base\u2019s bowl.<\/p>\n<p>About 60 occupiers had rolled out their sleeping bags between the pews the night before as part of their evening ritual, Rev. Brashear recalled. When they returned to the church later, following the pastor\u2019s discovery, he issued a stern warning: \u201cYou have 24 hours to find it and to come up with an amends and to come up with a plan. \u2018I\u2019m sorry and it won\u2019t happen again\u2019 won\u2019t work,\u201d he scolded.<\/p>\n<p>The artifact vanished just three weeks after a $2,400 Apple MacBook vanished from Brashear\u2019s office. He told the occupiers that even when the 100-year-old Upper West Side church extended help to addicts during the 1980s drug scourge, no visitors touched its $12,500 sacramental instrument.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot even crackheads messed with that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The pastor and a worshipper finally found the missing basin tossed into a small room connected to the church.

I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible.
