A preacher used to tell the
following: He was in the country
preaching on one occasion, when
he stopped at a farm house to
get dinuer. While eating, the
lady inquired his business and
he replied: “I’m hunting the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.”
She left the room and in a few
minutes returned with her hus
band, when she said: “This man
is hunting stray sheep and l ’ll
bet that old long wool ram that’s
been around here is his’n" “No
Sister, you don’t understand me.
I’m hunting sinners, those for
whom Christ died.” “And is he
dead?” She asked. “Yes,” re
plied the man of God, astonished
at her ignorance. “And buried
too, I reckon?" “Oh yes, long
ago.” “There now, old man, I
told you we’d die in ignorance
for not taking a newspaper.”
