There were two rich brothers who used their money to keep their evil ways from the public eye. They even attended church, and appeared to be good Christians.

Then, their pastor retired, and a new one was hired. The new pastor saw right through the bothers deception. Soon, a fund-raising campaign was started to build a new church.

All of a sudden, one of the brothers died. The remaining brother sought out the new pastor the day before the funeral and handed him a check for the amount needed to finish paying for the building.

"I have only one condition," he said. "At the funeral, you must say my brother was a saint." The pastor gave his word, and deposited the check.

The next day, at the funeral, the pastor did not hold back. "He was an evil man," he said. "He cheated on his wife and abused his family." After going on for a bit, he finally concluded, "But, compared to his brother, he was a saint!"
