Use in the Pulpit

A man was brought before a police

and using loud and profane language
on the street. One of the witnesses
was a pious old darky. who was sub

lawyer put the question in another

he use words that would be proper for
your minister to use in a sermon?"
"Oh. yes suh." the old man replied
with a grin that revealed the full
width of his immense mouth; but
dey'd have to be ranged diff'runt. =
