The preacher arrived at church...

...muttering angrily under his breath.

"Goodness, what's wrong?" asked his secretary when he came into the office.

"It's raining like crazy out there," said the preacher, "and I can't find my umbrella! I had it here at the church last week, and I think one of the congregation must have stolen it. Well, I'm not gonna stand for it! This morning I'm gonna give an old-fashioned fire and brimstone sermon reminding them of the fiery fate that awaits sinners! It'll put the fear of God in them! Then I'll recite the Ten Commandments, and when I get to the one about stealing, I guarantee the thief will break down and beg for my forgiveness!"

An hour later, after the service, he came back to the office.

"Did it work?" asked the secretary? "Did the thief confess when you got to the commandment about stealing?"

"No," said the preacher. "When I got to the one about adultery, I remembered where I left my umbrella."
