Have you heard theStory of the man who called
to see the minister recently? The minister did
not know his visitor, but asked him in, and then
said, " Now, what can I do for you?"
" Well," was the reply, "I'd like to know if I can
join your church."
The ministerStared. " Why do you want to join
my church?" he demanded.
" Well," said the visitor, " I work in a factory, and
the chap at the machine next to mine used to be the
meanest man I knew, as well as the laziest and the
most dishonest; but since his wife got him to attend
your church he's become altogether changed, and he
won't rest till I come along with him. I thought I
ought to ask you first, though. My workmate's a
different chap nowadays ... I'd like to be a bit
more like him."
