A teacher, a garbage collector, and a lawyer arrived together at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter informed them that in order to get into heaven, they each had to answer one question.
St. Peter asked the teacher, “What was the name of the ship that crashed into the iceberg? They just made a movie about it.”
The teacher answered, “The Titanic,” and St. Peter admitted him.
Concluding that heaven did not need all the odors that the garbage collector would bring with him, St. Peter decided to make the question a little harder: “How many people died on the ship?”
Fortunately the trash collector had just seen the movie. “1,228,” he answered.
“That’s right,” Peter declared. “You may enter.”
St. Peter then turned to the lawyer. “Name them.”

“Father Abraham, Whom have you in heaven? Any Episcopalians?”
“No!”
“Any Presbyterians?”
“No!”
“Any Independents or Seceders, New Sides or Old Sides, any Methodists?”
“No! No! No!”
“Whom have you there, then, Father Abraham?”
“We don’t know those names here! All who have come are Christians—believers in Christ, men who have overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of his testimony…”
“Then…God help us all, to forget having names and becomes Christians in deed and truth.”
"— George Whitefield, quoted in William Warren Sweet’s The Story of Religion in America (New York: Harper and Brothers, 1939), 142.
