ALMOST THE OLD WAY
A certain church held a Sunday service patterned after those in Colonial America. The pastor dressed in long coat and knickers, and the congregation was divided by gender: men on the left side of the aisle and woman on the right. At collection time, the Pastor announced that this, too, would be done in the old way. He asked the “head of the household” to come forward and place the money on the altar. The men instantly rose. To the amusement of the entire congregation, many of them crossed the aisle to get money from their wives. From Billy D. Strayhorn, Groesbeck, Texas
