CHRISTIAN BELIEFS

Students studying for a Theology degree arrived at their final exam to find a note on the door saying that the examination would take place in a room on the other side of the campus. The students all rushed to the other room to find a bedraggled fellow blocking the doorway and begging for money. All the students except one barged by the fellow and took their seats. The one student chatted to the beggar and then gave him £1, before taking his seat. After the exam was over, the students discussed the questions they had been asked and all seemed quite satisfied that they must have passed, but when they received the results, they were shocked to discover that all but one of diem had failed. Confronting their professor, the students were told that they failed because they had ignored the beggar at the door and in so doing confirmed their disregard for Christian virtue. The one student who had demonstrated Christian charity became a very popular priest. The others apparently became politicians, lawyers and advertising executives.
