The Good Old Salvo Preacher

[Guest john]

The Salvo Preacher had finished distributing the War Cry Publication in the districts Hotels this particular Friday evening & his voluntary collection money box was full with the loose change the patrons at the hotels had placed in the box.

 

The Salvo band was also out the front of the local Hotel playing their much loved hymns, after which the Salvo Preacher got up on his box & started telling the drunks that were coming out of the Hotel how they could be saved from their demon drink & wicked ways.

 

One particular drunk interjected the Preacher & asked if God also could save bad women, & the Preacher responded by telling the listeners outside the Hotel that God can also save bad women.

 

The drunk interjected again & said to the Preacher "Well will you ask Him to save one for me tonight".

That drunk must have been me, as I said exactly that 45yrs ago on my bucks night, even though I did toss a fiver in the tin.

 

However, some time later I had to eventually pay penance for my sins, the home for my wife that I giveth, was later taken away

 

Sometimes he acts in a way that I don't understand.
