Show AMEX Red Rock Miss, April 7 A local colored preacher startled his auditors audi-tors last Sunday morning with the following somewhat remarkable prayer: "Oh Lawd, give Thy servant this mornin, de, eyes of de eagle and de wisdom of de owl; connect his soul with de gospel telephone in de central cen-tral skies; luminate his brow with de sun of heaben; pizen his mind with love for the people; turpentine his imagination; grease his lips with 'possum' oil; loosen his tongue with de sledge hammer of Thy power; 'lectrify his brain with de lightnin' of de word;; put 'petual motion in his arms; fill him plum full of the dyna- mite of Thy glory j'noint him all over ov-er with de kerosene of Thy salvation, and sot him on the fire. Amen!" a |
