Your talk about ministerial support
reminds me of an old preacher dream.
He dreamed that he became a horse
and that he was hitched up to a wag-

was serving, was helping to roll the
wagon. While the church was help

but after the orse-preacher and his
church had travelled some distance, the
exercise changed. The horse-preacher S
burden grew heavy and he was about
to break down under the strain. He
thought they were laborers together,
and that they were rolling at the
wheels, so he turned to see if he could
ascertain the cause of his burden grow

prise they had all crawled up into the
wagon and We're just keeping cool by
