TODAY’S SPECIAL: From the book, The Best Golf Stories Ever Told” – “Golf & The Parson”:
There is the story of the golfing parson who could not keep from swearing when the balls went wrong.
His friend told him, “Golf and the ministry don’t seem to go together. Take my advice before it’s too late, and give it up, Thomas.”
A few months later Thomas met his friend again.
“You were right, Jamie, “cried the parson cheerily, “they didn’t run well in harness; golf and the ministry. I have followed your advice, I have given it up.”
“Then what are you doing with that sack of clubs?” Inquired Jamie.
“What am I doing with them? Repeats the puzzled Thomas. Why I am going to play golf with them.” A light broke upon him. “Great Heavens man!” He continued, “ye didn’t think twas the golf I’d given up?”

TODAY’S SPECIAL: “A New Minister Funny”
A new minister comes to down. Seeking to get to know the town better, he takes a walk downtown and asks a little boy, “where can I find the Post Office?” And is told. Then he asks, “where can I find the grocery store?”, and he is told. Finally, he offers to the boy to come to church Sunday so that the boy can find Jesus. The boy wisely replies, “mister, you couldn’t find the post office or the grocery store. How do you expect to find Jesus?”
