THE THOUGHTFUL PATIENT
A Scotch minister was once sent for to visit a sick man. On arriving at the house he enquired:
"What church do you attend?"
"Barry kirk," replied the invalid.
"Why, then, did you not send for your own minister?"
"Na, na," replied the sick man, "we would not risk him. Do you no' ken it's a dangerous case of typhoid?"
