A preacher went to visit a member of the community and
invited him to come to church Sunday morning. It seems that this
man was a producer of fine peach brandy, and told the preacher
that he would attend his church IF the pastor would drink some of
his brandy and admit doing so in front of his congregation. The
preacher agreed and drank up.
Sunday morning the man visited the church. The preacher
recognized the man from the pulpit and said:
"I see Mr. Johnson is here with us this morning. I want to thank
him publically for his hospitality this week and especially for the
peaches he gave me and the spirit in which they were given."
