He Was a Saint

There were two evil brothers. They were rich and used their
money to keep their ways from the public eye. They even
attended the same church and looked to be perfect
Christians.

Then, their pastor retired and a new one was hired. Not
only could he see right through the brothers' deception, but
he also spoke well and true, and the church started to swell
in numbers.

A fund-raising campaign was started to build a new
assembly.

All of a sudden, one of the brothers died. The remaining
brother sought out the new pastor the day before the funeral
and handed him a check for the amount needed to finish paying
for the new building.

"I have only one condition," he said. "At his funeral, you
must say my brother was a saint."

The pastor gave his word and deposited the check.

The next day at the funeral, the pastor did not hold back.
"He was an evil man," he said. "He cheated on his wife and
abused his family." After going on in this vein for a small
time, he concluded with, "But, compared to his brother, he
was a saint."
