SMALL CROWD
One time a guest preacher came to a little rural church, and as it turned out, that morning, due to a mixup, the only person there was one 10-year-old boy. Naturally, the young boy assumed that the service would be called off and both of them go home. But no, the red-bearded preacher went through the entire service. He went through the hymns, the responses to the liturgy, the offering of one thin dime, the offering dedicated to the Lord, the sermon and finally the visiting preacher placing his hand upon the head of the child in a moment of closing blessing. The little boy went home, but somehow he never quite forgot that red-bearded preacher, and that service for one. His name was Cecil B. DeMille, and it was he who gave the world some of the greatest religious pictures ever filmed.” Sumbitted by Gene Sikkink, Glendorado and Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Princeton, MN, source unknown. 55371
