“LORD, HIT HIM AGAIN”

L.L. Brigance once told his class about a congregation trying to finance a new roof for a meeting house.  The men were meeting to see if the amount could be raised.  One man said, “I’ll give two dollars.”  Another, “I’ll give three.”  Then all eyes turned to Brother T. Wad, who was very wealthy.  “I’ll give a dollar,” he said.  About that time a piece of plaster overhead loosened by the leaking water, fell and hit the old brother on the head.  He straightened up and said: “I’ll give ten dollars.”  Then an elder raised his eyes toward heaven and said: “Lord, hit him again.”
