Fulfilling the Text

A little parson preached in a high pulpit. His two little eyes appeared just above the cushion. His morning text was: "Be of good cheer, it is I be not afraid." In the afternoon he stood on a foot-stool and announced his text: "A little while ye shall see me; again a little while ye shall not see me." The footstool slipped during the discourse aiid he verified his text.
