A visiting bishop, in Washington, was arguing with a senator on the
desirability of attending church. At last he put the question squarely:
"What is your personal reason for not attending?"
The senator smiled in a no-offense-intended way, as he replied: "The
fact is, one finds so many hypocrites there."
Returning the smile, the bishop said:
"Don't let that keep you away, senator; there's always room for one
more."
