The new pastor of a rural church dropped into a Sunday-school class and began quizzing the students to test the effectiveness of the teacher. “Who knocked down the walls of Jericho?” he demanded of one boy.
“It sure weren’ t me, Reverend,” the boy said. Turning to the embarrassed teacher, the pastor exclaimed, “I suppose that’s a sample of the kind of discipline you maintain!”
“Now, Reverend, Timmy’ s a good boy and doesn’ t tell lies. If he said he didn’ t do it, I believe him.”
Thoroughly upset, the pastor took the matter to the church’ s board of deacons.
After due consideration, the board sent the following message to the nonplused minister: ”We see no point in making an issue of this incident. The board will pay for the damages to the wall and charge it off to vandalism.”
