    Here is little Effie's head. Her brains are made of gingerbread. When
    the judgement day comes, God will find six crumbs. Stooping by the coffin
    lid waiting for something to rise as the something's always did. Imagine
    His surprise, bellowing above the general noise, "Where is Effie? She
    was dead." Back to God in a tiny voice: "My name's Maybe."
    The first crumb said. The number two crumb picked up the song.
    "Might, I'm called. I've done no wrong." Cried the third crumb,
    "I am Should. Here's our little brother Could and my big sister
    Would. Don't punish us for we've been good." And the last crumb, with
    some shame, whispered unto God, "My name is Must and with the others,
    we've been Effie, who isn't alive and never was. Cross the threshold have
    no dread. Lift the sheet back in this way.

Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it-almost none. And
when you live it people may think you're crazy. It has been truthfully
said that the world is equally shocked by one who repudiates Christianity
as by one who practices it.
