Theme: ''The attitude and actions of a New Testament Church''
One morning a deacon was asked to go to the airport and meet the preacher who was coming to his church to conduct a revival. He went but was not sure as to what the preacher looked like.

Selecting a likely fellow, he asked, ''Pardon me, sir, but are you a minister?''
''No, sir!'' came the reply. ''My indigestion makes me look like this.''

In The Hole You Go
As a minister, I conduct many baptismal services. My denomination baptizes in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. One Sunday, my family and I went to a friend's home in the country.

Our 4-year-old daughter Susan was conducting the baptismal service. She held a cat over a barrel of water. Trying to be as solemn as her father, she repeated the phrase she had heard many times: ''I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and in the hole you go!''
