“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.”

Four Worms in Church





A Minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.

The fourth worm was put into a container of good, clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol ... Dead.

The second worm in cigarette smoke ... Dead

The third worm in chocolate syrup ... Dead

The fourth worm in good, clean soil ... Alive. 

So the Minister asked the congregation, "What did you learn from this demonstration?" 

Maxine was sitting in the back and quickly raised her hand and said, 

"As long as you drink, smoke, and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!" 

That pretty much ended the service !!
