YOU KNOW
I'VE BEEN THINKING
A few years ago a faithful
Minister of the Gospel went
to a town in West Virginia to
serve a congregation* He was
there but a few weeks when
one of the "active5' church
women called on him and of
fered the infdimation that
the people were very well
pleased with his sermons and
most everything that be did
with the exception of one
very small detail* She hoped
he would not be offended if
She spoke frankly« Ke urged
her to proceeds She took
from her purse a pair of sci
ssors, and remarked t hat she
had talked to several of 4/he
women of the church and they
agreed that his tie was too
long and that she should cut
the end off of it, and she
reached for the preachers
tie and clipped it off.
The new minister thanked
her for her interest and
hoped that she would not mind
if he were as frank with her.
Though quite concerned she
urged him to pieceed* Then
he said, "Will you please
lend me your scissors, and
then stick out your tongue."
A thought for the week: A
Church member #10% "Thinks by
the inch, and fa Iks by the
yard should b© dealt with by
the foot*."
