Preacher Smith explains that he must move on to a large congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave.

Jim Johnson, who owns several car dealerships in the city stands up and proclaims "If the Preacher stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every year and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their children!"

The congregation sighs in appreciation, and applauds.

Sam Brown, a successful entrepreneur and investor, stands and says: "If the Preacher will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary, and also establish a foundation to guarantee a college education for all his children!"

More sighs and loud applause.

Edith Hodges, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the preacher stays, I will give him sex."

There is total silence.

The Preacher, blushing, asks her: "Mrs. Hodges, whatever possessed you to say that?"

Sadie's 90 year old husband Jake is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand and shaking his head from side to side while his wife replies:

"Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said, $crew the Preacher."
