The Rev. Samuel Garvin, pastor
OF the First Presbyterian Church
OF Colorado Springs. Colo, tells and
verifies this champion fish story.
The minister told his wife that
he felt like eating trout for dinner,
but that because of his having to
prepare his Sunday sermon could
not go fishing as was his wont
when he had that trout appetite, it
was more than likely they would
go troutless at dinner.

his front porch
And found a three-pound trout

The fish had come out of the ir-
