The visiting minister was surprised when he went into the pulpit
to find just one person in the congregation - an old farmer. He
went down to him and said, "Is it worth proceeding?"
"What do you mean?" said the farmer.
"Well" said the minister, "is it worth having a service for such
a small congregation?"
"When I take the bucket of food to the hens and only one turns up
I don't send it away hungry."
Moved by this simple analogy, the minister went back to the
pulpit and went through the whole service including a long and
very forceful sermon. When he had finished he went down to the
farmer and asked, "Was that alright?"
The farmer rather tersely replied, "When I take the bucket to the
hens and only one turns up I don't give it the whole bucket".
