*New Convert Help*
He was not well-educated and rather rough and crude around the edges,
but he was recently converted and now on fire for the Lord.

He was constantly pestering the pastor to give him some work that would
be helpful to the church. Finally the pastor agreed. He gave the man a
list of ten people who hadn't been in church for years nor made any
financial contribution. Some of these were quite prominent in the
community.

The pastor said, "What I want you to do is get these people back to
church, however you can. You can use church stationery if you want, but
get these people back to church."

Three weeks later the pastor got an envelope in the mail from a
prominent doctor whose name had been on the list, along with a check for
$1,000 and a note that read, "Dear Pastor, Please excuse my inactivity
at church. I really have no excuse. Accept this check as a partial
contribution for all the Sundays I've missed, and be assured I will
never, by choice, miss worship again.

Sincerely, J. B. Jones, M.D.

P.S. - Will you kindly tell your secretary that there is only one "t"
in dirty and no "c" in skunk?"
