Preaching
One Sunday morning a certain young pastor in his first charge announced nervously:
"I will take for my text the words, 'And they fed five men with five thousand loaves of bread and two thousand fishes.'"
At this misquotation an old parishioner from his seat in the amen corner said audibly:
"That's no miracle - I could do it myself."
The young preacher said nothing at the time, but the next Sunday he announced the same text again. This time he got it right:
"And they fed five thousand men on five loaves of bread and two fishes."
He waited a moment, and then, leaning over the pulpit and looking at the amen corner, he said:
"And could you do that, too, Mr. Smith?"
"Of course I could," Mr. Smith replied.
"And how would you do it?" said the preacher.
"With what was left over from last Sunday," said Mr. Smith.
