Short and to the Point.

A few years ago, in one Of the south
ern towns Of New York State, man
died who had not lived very good
life. His family insisted that ser
mon be preached at the funeral, how
ever, and all due respect paid to the
dead mans memory. No minister i'll
town would officiate, as all were SEEM
ingly engaged. However, a retired ell
der, rich and kind hearted agreed to
attend. The house was filed with
neighbors, all rough and mostly igno-
rant. A short prayer was offered and
a hymn sung. Then the elder, folding
his hands in front Of him, began: MY
friends. II this man was a bad man, l
have said too much; If a good man, l
have said enough. Let US pray
Truth.
