A pastor in Maine skipped services one Sunday to go bear hunting.Along the trail he turned a corner and collided with a bear. thepastor stumbled, backwards, slipped off the trail, and begantumbling down the mountain, the bear in hot pursuit. Finally thepastor crashed into a bolder, breaking both his legs and sendinghis rifle flying through the air, just out of his reach. As the bear closed in, the pastor cried out „Lord, I’m sorry forwhat I have done. Please forgive me and save me! – Lord pleasemake this bear a Christian“. Suddenly the bear skipped to a halt at the pastor’s feet, fellto it’s knees, clasped it’s paws together, began to weep andsaid „God bless this food which I am about to receive!“
