Two Irish women in the market place of Cork were talking of the new curate.
"Arrah, Biddy," said one, "did ye hear him last Sunday when he preached on 'Hell'?"
"Faith an' I did that same, and shure he might have been born and reared there, so well did he know all about it."
An Episcopal rector and a Roman Catholic priest had neighboring churches and didn't get along very well. After some time, however, they got together and decided to bury the hatchet.
"For, after all," said he of the Episcopal faith, "we are both doing the Lord's work."
"That is true," said the priest. "Let us therefore do his work to the best of our ability: you in your way," concluded the priest, and then added with a twinkle, "and I in his!"
