Recently, a West Coast pastor compiled a list of parishioners whose Christian powers he felt were withering with disuse. To them he mailed the following message concerning a forthcoming “no-excuse-to-stay-home-Sunday:”
There will be:
…cots available for those who say Sunday is their only day to sleep;
…eye-drops for those who have red eyes from watching late Saturday night TV;
…steel helmets for those who say the roof would cave in if they ever went to Church;
…blankets for persons who think the Church is too cold, fans for those who say it is too hot;
…score cards for those wishing to list all hypocrites present;
…TV dinners for those who can’t cook Sunday dinner and still have the time to go to Church;
…a sanctuary decorated with Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies for those who have never seen Church without them.
