Church Play: A young girl was asked to play the devil tempting Jesus in the wilderness in a church play. She refused, suggesting that the pastor ask her little brother instead. "He'd make a great devil!" she said.

To Make Gravy: Discussing the story of Elijah and the false prophets of Baal, a Sunday school teacher related that Elijah built an altar, put wood on it, cut a steer in pieces, and laid it on the altar. Elijah then commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it over the altar. "Why," the teacher asked the children, "would Elijah have water poured over the steer on the altar?" "To make the gravy," a little girl responded excitedly. ‒ via George Goldtrap Ormond-by-the-Sea, FL
