That Poor Pastor
Published Jan 01, 1900

A little boy was given a five dollar bill to put in the collection plate. When the offering came around, he wouldn't put it in.
But after the end of the service, when he went to shake the pastor's hand, he pulled out the five dollar bill and gave it to the pastor.
The pastor asked him, "Why are you giving me this money? Why didn't you put it in the offering plate?"
And the boy answered, "Because my mommy told me you're the poorest pastor we've ever had!"
