"Remember our communion services next Sunday forenoon. The Lord will be with us during the morning service and the Bishop in the evening."
WAITING FOR A FRIEND
In one of our large department stores an obliging salesman had taken every roll of cloth but one from the shelves to show to a persistent woman. The last roll was on the top shelf.
"You needn't bother any more," she replied to the weary clerk who was about to reach for the remaining roll, "I was simply waiting for a friend."
"Madam," said the clerk, "if you think she's in the last roll, I'll gladly get it down for you."
A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
An old negro in a South Carolina town was arrested for stealing chickens, and as he bore a rather bad reputation it was quite hard to secure counsel for him. At last a young lawyer, who had known Rastus for a long time, took his case, to the great joy of the old fellow. At his trial the judge asked him:
"Are you the defendant?"
The old fellow was perplexed for a moment, and then replied:
"No, sah, dat's de defendant, sah," pointing proudly to his counsel, "I'se de man wot stole de chickens."
