Pastor Schmidt took a new call and was saying farewell to his congregation at the Church doors for the last time. He shook the hand of an elderly lady as she walked out. She was sad, holding back tears and mourned "Your successor won't be as good as you." "Nonsense", said Pastor Schmidt, in a flattered tone. "No, really", said the old lady, "I've been here under five different ministers, and each new one has been worse than the last."
