A Good Word
Published Jan 01, 1900
A minister at a funeral service says to the congregation: "Before we send this man's soul into eternity, can we have a good word about him?"
Complete silence.
So he asks again, "Can't we have one good word about this soul before we send it into eternity?"
Nobody said a word.
Again he pleads, and finally a little old man gets up and says: "His brother was worse!"
