BAPTISM


A revival was being held at a small colored Baptist church in southern

Georgia. At one of the meetings the evangelist, after an earnest but

fruitless exhortation, requested all of the congregation who wanted

their souls washed white as snow to stand up. One old darky remained

sitting.



"Don' yo' want y' soul washed w'ite as snow, Brudder Jones?"



"Mah soul done been washed w'ite as snow, pahson."



"Whah wuz yo' soul washed w'ite as snow, Brudder Jones?"



"Over yander to the Methodis' chu'ch acrost de railroad."



"Brudder Jones, yo' soul wa'n't washed--hit were dry-cleaned."--_Life_.
