Perthshire
Fisherman

A
certain clergyman in Perthshire, who was more proficient in
fishing than in preaching, was conversing one morning with some
members of his congregation on the benefits of early rising,
and as an instance he mentioned that he had that very morning
got up at five o’clock, and before breakfast had actually
written a sermon, and caught a very fine salmon.
“Well,
sir,” quietly replied one of the company, who had no great
respect for his minister’s pulpit abilities, “let
me tell you, I would rather have your salmon than your sermon.”
