| (A little bit of satire.
The things you should do |
| and the things you should not
do.) |
| |
| There are many ways that you can help to stop
a revival in your town |
| You don't need an education and you need not
be well known. |
| You may work very hard at it and be really "on
the ball" |
| Or sit back very quietly and just do nothing
at all. |
| |
| You may help by staying home; this keeps the
attendance down |
| And discourages the evangelist who's come to
revive your town. |
| Or you may help by coming out and occupying
space |
| So you can say, "I told you so" when the
revival falls on its face. |
| |
| You may help by calling folks to chat an hour
or two |
| And never think to as your friend to come to
church with you. |
| Or, better yet, you may discuss the gossip you
have heard |
| And hope that she'll ignore your plea to not
"repeat a word." |
| |
| Decide to do your house-cleaning or throw a
party for your friends |
| Or, better yet, just go away until the revival
ends. |
| If you must attend the meetings, refrain from
saying "Amen"; |
| This only encourages the evangelist and gets
him going again. |
| |
| Don't be concerned about the folks you know
are going to Hell; |
| They may never know Christ died for them if
you don't tell. |
| And if you don't invite them out and pray that
they will come -- |
| You'll be sure to stop the revival and the
evangelist will go home. |
