Re: How long should church service be ?

Got this from the internet.....

I'm reminded of the country preacher who went to his pulpit one Sunday and looked out and noticed there was only one old gentleman sitting on the front row.

No one else was there.

He looked at the gentleman and said, "well I guess we might as well go on home. It's just you and me."

The old gentleman responded. "Rev. I don't know anything about preaching, I'm just and old farmer, but I do promise you this, if I went out to feed the cows and just one old cow came up I'd go ahead and feed her."

The Pastor said, "Well if that's the way you feel, okay." And he opened his Bible and 1 1/2 hours later he finished his sermon.

Looking down at the old gentleman he asked. "Well what did you think about that?"

Where upon the old gentleman replied, "Well, Rev. like I said, I don't know anything about preaching, I'm just an old farmer. But I do promise you this, if I went out to feed the cows and just one old cow came up I wouldn't give her the whole wagon load!"
