An old farmer went to the city one weekend and attended the big city church.
He came home and his wife asked him how it was. "Well," said the farmer, "It was good. They did something different,
however. They sang praise choruses instead of hymns."
"Praise choruses," said his wife, "What are those?"
"Oh, they're okay. They're sort of like hymns, only different," said the
farmer.
"Well, what's the difference?" asked the wife.
The farmer said, "Well, it's like this. If I were to say to you, 'Martha,
the cows are in the corn,' well that would be a hymn. If on the other hand
I was to say to you, 'Martha, Martha, Martha, Oh Martha, MARTHA, MARTHA, the
cows, the big cows, the brown cows, the black cows, the white cows, the
black and white cows, the COWS, COWS, COWS, are in the corn, are in the
corn, are in the corn, are in the corn,' well, that would be a praise
chorus." |
