GOOD CHANCE
After exhorting a back-slider
among his flock long, earnestly
?and vainly? the parson raised
his clenched fist and thunder
ed; "You'll go to hell as surely
as I'll crush that fly." The fist
descended, but the Insect avoid
ed fate, and buzzed away un- 1
harmed. The chagrined minis- 1
ter silently followed its flight.
"Well, well," he said at last,
reluctantly, "I'm afraid the
Lord is merciful and long suf
fering. There may be a chance
for you yet."
CAME CLOSE
Neighbor: ''Did you go to the
doctor the other day?"
Man: "Yes, I did."
Neighbor: "And did he find
out what you had?"
Man: "Very nearly."
Neighbor: "What do you
mean, very nearly?"
Man: "Well, I had $10 and he
charged me $8."
