The local Presbyterian church was in dire financial straits and they were getting hard pressed to raise money.

Then the preacher had an idea, to give the largest contributor each Sunday the choice of 3 hymns. So the following Sunday from the pulpit he explained the plight and his idea. The collection plates went around, and they were brought up to him.

To his surprise there was a $1000 bill right on top. He sobbed and said a few Hallelujahs and asked who was the wonderful person who donated this remarkable sum.

A slight little elderly lady stood up and admitted to it. The preacher called her to the front of the church and applauded her.

He then exclaimed to her "you may now select the next 3 hymns, so do you know what you want?" "Why yes I do," she replied and faced the congregation, "I'll take him, him, and him."
