An elderly woman, who lived just a block from the church, never missed a
 Sunday service for most of her life.  Each week, as she greeted the pastor
 after church, she would always say, "Reverend, that was a wonderful sermon.
 THEY really needed that!"

 One cold winter day, after a heavy snowfall with most of the town buried in
 deep drifts, she was the only one who showed up for church.  The pastor
 decided that he would take advantage of the situation by preaching a sermon
 on the evils of being self-righteous and  hypocritical.

 As she left the church, the woman greeted the pastor as usual and exclaimed,
 "Reverend, that was one of the best sermons you ever preached.  It was
 really great.  If THEY had been here, THEY really would have needed that!"
