A newly converted woman, desirous, as new converts are, "to do something," was detailed by her pastor to invite the backsliders to the protracted meetings. She had been reluctantly admitted into a neighbor's home, where the hostess coldly continued her mopping. Conversation lagged until the visitor remarked: "I have come to invite you to the revival meetings at the church."
Then a change came. Her face softened and the mop rested. "Revival meetings! Did you say, there was going to be revival meetings? Yes indeed, I'll come. Why, John and I have got religion at revivals every winter for the last ten years!" The visitor was perplexed. She repeated, "Got religion every winter for the last ten years! I do not believe I understand. What became of your religion in the summer?" "Laws!" she exclaimed in momentary confusion, "I don't know but somehow it just petered out."
Be the first to react on this!
