Show ' His Faith Was Shaken. A religious old darky had his faith badly shaken not long ago. He is sexton sex-ton for a white church in a Fayette County, Tennessee, town, and one afternoon as he was in front sweeping the pavement a strong wind arose, tearing a piece of the cornice off and taking a few brick out of the wall. Realizing that a good run was better than a bad stand, the old man sought shelter in the station-house on the opposite op-posite side of the street. Several minutes min-utes later a member of the church of which Uncle Isham is sexton came by, and, noticing him in his retreat remarked re-marked that he thought the station-house station-house a strange place for a man of faith to seek shelter in a storm when a house of worship was near. "Dat's so, but what's a man gwine ter do when de Lord begins to frow bricks U im?" |
