In a factory, a sign over the machines read, “When the Threads Get Tangled, Send for the Foreman.” One day the threads got tangled on one machine and the operator tried desperately to untangle them. Just then the foreman came along and asked, “Don’t you see the sign?” “Yes,” was the reply, “but I’m doing my best to take care of it myself.” “Doing the best you can,” came the answer, “always means sending for the foreman.” Doing our best with life’s tangled skeins means calling on the Great Overseer.

Rip Van Winkle slept through a revolution. When he fell asleep, George III was ruler of America. When he woke up, George Washington was President of the United States. Rip didn’t know what had happened. He started whooping it up for the King and almost got into trouble. He was hollering for the wrong George! Not a few misguided souls are doing just that today. Some think they are boosting the Kingdom of Heaven when they are really helping set up the scene for antichrist. A newsboy was asked why he sold papers when he made only two cents on each one he sold. He replied, “It gives me a chance to holler!” Some will espouse any cause that affords them a chance to holler!
