Show NEEDED MUSCLE It was on a bright spring Sunday morning that the colored pastor happened hap-pened to notice a new attendant- at the church meeting. When he finished fin-ished his sermon the pastor made it his business to speak to the new comer. "Erastus," he said pleasantly, "this is the first time I've seen you in church for a mighty long time. I am very glad that you came." "Parson, I came 'cause I needs strengthenin'," answered the other. "Yuh see, I got a job washin' a chicken coop an' buildin' a white fence around a watermelon patch, an' las' Sunday I done heard yuh preached a sermon called, 'Come heah for strength.' An' heah I is." |
