And the Church Was Saved
When a church in a rural section of Canada was being moved, the steeple hit an electric power line and caught fire.
One of the men rushed to a nearby farmhouse and telephoned the fire station. "Our church is on fire!" he blurted out.
"Where is it located?" the lady asked. The man hurriedly told her.
"I'm sorry, but you are out of our jurisdiction," she replied.
"That's okay!" the man shouted, "You send the truck out! The fire will be in your district before you get to it!"
The church was saved!
