CHURCH ATTENDANCE

The father had never missed church or Sunday school in 23 years.

The mother had a perfect record for 11 years.

A son has not missed for 12 years.

A daughter has been at the evening service every Sunday for 8 years.

What's the matter with the family, anyway?

~Don't they ever have company on Sunday to keep them away from church?

~Don't they ever get tired on Sunday morning?

~Don't they ever have headaches, or colds, or nervous spells, or tired feelings, or sudden calls out of the city, or weekend parties, or business trips, or picnics, or any other trouble?

~Don't they ever have a TV, so that they can get some good sermons from out-of-town preachers?

~Don't they ever get a lot better out of reading a sermon out of a book?

~Don't they ever get disgusted with whatever it is that their minister preaches?

What's the matter with this family anyway, and why are they so happy and cheerful?

We leave it to you to answer.
