WHY HE WOULDN’T HURRY.
They were riding to church and were late. Several of the party were worried and one remarked, “The audience will be waiting.” “Well,” observed the old pastor (who was to preach that forenoon), “don’t let’s fret over it, if we are a little late. It reminds me of the man who was being taken to execution. His guards were greatly exercised over the fact that they could not possibly get there on time. “Never mind,” said the poor fellow, philosophically. ‘Don’t fuss over it. The people can wait. There’ll be nothing doing till I get there.”
