Converted heavy drinkers

A farmer in one small Welsh village was regarded with some disfavour by the local chapel-goers because both he and his wife were heavy drinkers and indeed were known to drink beer out of the teapot.

However, they were induced to attend a frenzied revival meeting in the chapel and were so affected by this that both of them gave up their intemperate habits.

At the next meeting the farmer came forward to testify to the change in his life.

"Yes," he declared, "the Lord has converted me, has converted my wife and has converted the teapot."
