A visiting minister denounced horse racing in a town famous for the sport. One of the principal patrons of the track, a wealthy citizen with sporting proclivities, always attended that church. The minister was informed of this after the sermon and determined to make amends to the sportsman who was a generous contributor to the church.
'I'm afraid I touched one of your weaknesses,' said the clergyman, 'but it was quite unintentional, I assure you.'
'Oh, that's all right,' siad the sportsman genially. 'It's a mighty poor sermon that don't hit me somewhere.'
