A Short Journey
AN old clergyman one Sunday, at the close of the sermon, gave notice to
the congregation that in the course of the week he expected to go on a
mission to the heathen. One of his parishioners, in great agitation,
exclaimed, Why, my dear sir, you have never told us one word of this
before; what shall we do?--O, brother, said the parson, I don't
expect to go out of this town.
