Mr. Jones Is History
Mr. Jones, the elementary school principal, made it a practice to visit the classes from time to time.
One day a week, he walked into Miss Smith's 4th grade class, where the children were studying American History.
Mr. Jones asked the class how many states they could name. They came up with about 40 names.
He jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states.
From the back of the room Little Johnny yelled, "Yes, but in those days there were only 13!"

Soda Test
We just had a class trip to the Coca-Cola factory.

Prayer, Spiritual Leadership
The wives of two Baptist pastors, had a friendship that was unending.
Were sitting together as they worked - their husband's clothes they were mending.
One said to the other, "My poor John is so discouraged with preaching.
He's about ready to give it up - there are no souls that he's reaching."
He said nothing is going right - no new faces does he ever see.
I expect that soon he'll really resign - but this is between you and me."
After waiting a moment the other said, "It's different with my Bill.
He seems so enthusiastic, just to watch him gives me a thrill.
He's praying about a building program - he wants some more pews put in.
He'll have to move a wall to do it, and make a nursery where a junk room had been.
He's looking for Sunday School teachers to teach the classes that are growing.
Offerings are up, souls are being saved - the members' faces are glowing.
A hushed silence fell as they continued their work, making each stitch so neat.
One was patching trouser knees, the other her husband's pants seat.
