The pastor was 20 minutes in his sermon with no sign of wrapping up any time soon.
While preaching was going on, one of the members remembered that she had left the Sunday dinner in the gas range with the flame on high.
She hastily wrote a note and gave it to her husband, who was an usher. Then she left for home.
For reasons which were not entirely clear, the woman's husband thought that his wife had written the note for the pastor. So, he walked up the side aisle and laid the note on the pulpit.
The pastor paused and smiled as he read the note. But the smile didn't last long. With a scowl on his face, he scanned the congregation, trying to identify the person who would write such a note.
The note read, "Please hurry home and shut off the gas."
