Conclusion:

Illus--Dave Handley’s Mexican tailor

Brother Dave Handley recently told me that he took a suit to a tailor to be altered and a Mexican man came out and measured him. 

When Bro. Dave asked him, “Do you understand what I want?”

The Mexican said, “Cee.”

When he got the suit back, he immediately noticed that the suit fit better than he could have dreamed.  That man that it seemed could not understand fixed that suit above expectation.

Inside the coat was a tag altered by

J - E - S - U - S

Maybe there is someone here that needs to be altered.
