A VACANT PULPIT A church was in need of a pastor. One of the deacons was interested in knowing just what kind of a minister they desired. He wrote the following letter, as if he had received it from an applicant, and read it to the pulpit committee. It read as follows: Gentlemen: Understanding that your pulpit is vacant, I should like to apply for the position. I have many qualifications that I think you would appreciate. I have been blessed to preach with power and have had some success as a writer. Some say that I am good at organizing. I have a leader in most places I have gone. Some folks, however, have some things against me. I have some things against myself. I am over 50. I have never preached in one place for more than three years at a time. In some places I have had leave town after my work caused riots and disturbances. I have to admit I have been in Jail three or four times. My health isnt good. I have to work at my trade to make ends meet. All my churches have been small, although located in large cities.
