A Newfoundlander tried to join one of the Toronto churches that is notorious for its exclusiveness. He promptly told the minister that he wished to join. The clergyman sought to evade the issue by suggesting to the man that he reflect more carefully on the matter, and
make it the subject of prayers for guidance.
The following day, the Newfoundlander encountered the minister.
Ah done prayed, sir he declared, beaming and the good Lord did answer me last night!
And what did the good Lord say to you?, inquired the puzzled priest.
Well sir, the Lord asked me what church I wanted to join and I told him it was your church sir. The good Lord laughed and laughed and He says to me, you can’t get in there. I should know, said the good Lord, I’ve been trying to get in that there church for ten years now and I couldn’t get in myself.
