Too Late After leaving his church the min- ister stopped to shake hands with a young woman who was a new member of his congregation. In the course of conversation the min- ister remarked how pleased he al- ways was to welcome new Mem- bers to the church. The young woman blushed prettily. "It's very kind of you to say so."
