Only one “T” in dirty

The story is told of a man that was converted to Christ. He was not very well educated and his manner was somewhat rough and crude.

But this man was running over with enthusiasm to be of some service to his Savior. So, he went to the preacher and asked for something to do.

The preacher gave him a list of ten names with this explanation: “These men are all members of the church, but they seldom attend the services. Some of them are prominent men of the city. Contact them any way you wish. Here is some church stationary you may use if you wish to write them letters. Get these men back in church if you can!

The new convert accepted the challenge with rugged determination.

About two weeks later a letter came to the church from a prominent person in the city. His name had been on that list.

Inside the letter the preacher found a $2,500 check and this note: “Dear preacher: Enclosed is my check for $2,500 to make up for my missing contribution for the past several weeks.

I’m sorry for missing worship, but be assured that I’ll be present this Lord’s Day and every Lord’s Day following.

I won’t miss worship again if I can help it. Sincerely, Dr. Jones. P. S. Would you please tell your secretary that there is only one “t” in ‘dirty’ and no ‘c’ in skunk?”

If you have not been attending services regularly, want you change that? Be in services this Sunday and see if it want make a change in your life.
