**********

A young preacher who was new to the community was contacted by the local funeral director to hold a graveside service at a small country cemetery. He was advised that no one was expected to be in attendance at the graveside service. The young pastor started early to the cemetery, but soon lost his way.

After making several wrong turns, he finally arrived a half-hour late. The hearse was nowhere in sight, and some workman were relaxing under a nearby tree, eating their lunches. The pastor went to the open grave and it looked like the vault lid was already in place, so he took out his book and read the service.

As he returned to his car, he overheard one of the workman say, "Do you think we should tell him that's a septic tank?"

Three little children were usually able to persuade their Dad to buy them ice cream on Sunday, right after church. One Sunday he protested saying, "Where does it say that you should always get something to eat and drink after church?" His quick-thinking daughter replied, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness."
