A young preacher was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside service<br />for a man who died with no family or friends.<br /><br />The funeral was held way back in the country and the young preacher got<br />lost on the way.<br /><br />When he arrived an hour late, he saw a backhoe and crew, but the hearse was<br />nowhere in sight.<br /><br />The workmen were eating lunch. The diligent pastor went to<br />the open grave to find the vault lid in place. Still he poured out his heart<br />and preached an impassioned and lengthy service.<br /><br />Returning to his car, the young preacher felt that he had done his duty and he<br />would leave with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication, in spite of his<br />tardiness.<br /><br />As he got into his car, he overheard one of the workers talking to another<br />worker, "I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years, and I<br />ain't never seen anything like that before.
