Separated
Illustration★★★‘Too bad about your wife and you,”’ said a minister to a certain man. ““How’s that?’’ asked the man. ‘Well, it seems that you and your wife are going to separate,’’ ex- plained the preacher. “‘Nonsense!’’ cried the man, ‘“‘There is perfect harmony between us; no such thought ever entered our minds.”’ “‘Perhaps not,”’ replied the preacher, ‘‘But your wife is a Christian and is going to Heaven, while you are without Christ and are headed for Hell.’’ 56
