SMALL brother was discussing going
- to heaven the other day. He thought
he'd like to have an airplane Of his
own, and that an expedition there
would not be bad, but on auntie's s
explanation that the clouds might in
terfere with his sightseeing and affect
the machinery Of the plane, he decided
to climb up, placing one ladder upon
another, taking with him his best
clothes.
Little sister. who is two years older
and more learned in the ways of heaven,
finally interrupted his dreams by re
marking: "But, Brud, when you 60
to heaven you're soul, you aren't n
body"
Soul or not" said brother, II
know I'll want clothes on me-"
