The Baptist church had a small congregation of very faithful people -- all but one brother who had quit coming to church. The pastor went to his farm, and asked him why he didn't attend anymore. "Gee, Brother, I only have these coveralls and old boots, and I don't want to come to the Lord's house dressed like this."

     The pastor said, "I've got a spare shirt, sports coat, slacks and shoes I'll give you if you'll come back!"

     The man agreed, and the pastor came back that afternoon with the clothes. Next Sunday the man didn't show up again.

     He went out to the farm and asked, "I gave you all those clothes, why didn't you come to church?"

     "Well, brother," the man said, "I got up and showered and shaved, and I put on those neat duds, and I looked in the mirror. I looked so durn good I went to the Episcopal church!"
