A story is told of worshippers arriving at their Church in White<br />
31 23<br />
Lake, North Dakota on a very chilly November morning, being met<br />
by a rather disturbing sight. An apparently homeless beggar was<br />
sitting on the front steps of the church, wearing tattered clothing,<br />
a wool cap pulled down over his eyes, and clutching a bottle in<br />
fingerless gloves.<br />
The worshippers had never experienced or seen anything like this<br />
before. Most of them simply walked around the man, or stepped<br />
50 69<br />
over him, as he sat there. Some muttered words of disapproval,<br />
and others suggested that the man move to another doorway<br />
before the Sunday School children arrived. One member told the<br />
man, in no uncertain terms, that The Salvation Army was a more<br />
appropriate place to sleep it off.<br />
