A superintendent of a Sunday school who had got some new books, asked the
minister to make an announcement after the service about the books.
When the service was over the minister had an announcement of his own. He
said: “All those having children and wishing to have them baptized, will
bring them in the afternoon between three and four o’clock.”
The superintendent, who was hard of hearing, thinking the minister was
talking about the books, rose and said, “All those having none and
desiring some can be supplied by me. The ordinary ones at fifteen cents,
and the special ones with the red backs at twenty-five cents.”
