One Sunday in a Midwest city a young child was "acting¹ up" during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle. Finally the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle² on his way out.

Just before leaving the safety of the foyer the little one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"
