Show Spiritual. The new minister in a Western parish par-ish was making his first calls, and when he reached the home of the Peevys he said to Mrs. Peevy: "I don't think that I have seen Mr. Peevy at church yet, have I Sister Peevy?" "Well, no. you ain't," replied Sister Peevy. "The fact is, Peevy like to j lay abed late of a Sunday morning, j and time he get up an' has his break-fast break-fast and gets through the Sunday pa- J pers an' does his Sunday shavin' an' mebbe an' hour or two of tinkerin' around the house that he alius puta off to do of a Sunday, an' then has a smoke an' mebbe cuts some o' the children's hair or beats ruga for me, or even mops up the kitchen if I'm hurried time he's done all that it's too late for church. Fact is, Peevy ain't a real spiritual-minded man nohow at least not the same as I am." New York Saturday Evening Post- |
