| CANADA'S SOURCE FOR RELIGIOUS HUMOUR, PARODY, AND SATIRE
SMALL TOWN-- Not only does God have a big eraser, He's using it on His own house.
Parishioners of the Church of the Reformed Church of the Nazarene in Small Town are concerned, as God has started to erase His creation around them. "It started with the big old elm tree down by Poplar Street," said Mrs. Gladys Forsythe. "One day it was there, the next, whoomp. Gone. I don't know what to think." While some of the residents fear that that the sudden disappearances of local landmarks is a sign of the End, others are praising the clean-up efforts of the Almighty. "I didn't mind when He was getting rid of the graffiti," said Mr. Grahame (Gomer) Delwittle. "This town could use a little cleaning up, if you know what I mean, but then He erased all the immigrants. Then the liquor store. Then the night clubs. That I didn't mind, but then He erased the bingo hall. Now why did He do that? I just don't understand His Will, I guess." Pastor Hubert Eglinton is quiet about the changes. "I'm not saying anything," he said. "When the erasures started I gave a sermon on the Book of Job, and how we are pawns in a bigger game between The Lord and the devil, that sort of thing. And then the next thing I notice is that our church has lost its bell-tower and front door. Right during the service! All I can say is that God put us onto this earth, and with one mighty stroke He could wipe us all out." "Now is that a sign or what," added Mrs. Forsythe. "I was a little frightened but now I'm keeping my mouth shut," said the Pastor quietly. "You won't hear any more comments." Others aren't so quiescent. "All I can say is He better stay out of my garden," said Mrs. Irving Bellwintern. "I got a shotgun, and I keep it loaded by the front porch. He's got another thing coming if He thinks He can up and off with my zucchinis."
