A new Pastor in town spent the first five days making personal visits to each of the members inviting them to come to this first services.
The following Sunday the church was all but empty accordingly the pastor placed a notice in the local newspapers stating that because the church was dead it was everyone's duty to give it a decent Christian burial the funeral would be held the following Sunday afternoon the notice said Morbidly curious a large crowd turned out for the funeral in front of the pulpit they saw a closed coffin smothered in flowers after the pastor delivered the eulogy he opened the coffin and invited his congregation to come forward and pay their final respects to their dead church.
filled with curiosity as to what would represent the corpse of a dead church all the people eagerly lined up to look in the coffin Each Mourner peeped into the coffin then quickly turned away with a guilty sheepish look.
IN THE COFFIN, TILTED IN THE RIGHT ANGLE, WAS A LARGE MIRROR.
