COMING UP WITH MORE MONEY
The minister was preoccupied with
thoughts of how he was going to ask
the congregation to come up with
more money than they were expecting
for repairs to the church building.
Therefore, he was annoyed to find that
the regular organist was sick and a
substitute had been brought in at the
last minute. The substitute wanted to
know what to play. Here's a copy of
the service," he said impatiently. "But,
you'll have to think of something to play
after I make the announcement about
the finances."During the service, the
minister paused and said, "Brothers
and Sisters, we are in great difficulty;
the roof repairs cost twice as much
as we expected and we need $4,000
more. Any of you who can pledge $100
or more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist
played "The Star Spangled Banner."
And that is how the substitute became
the regular organist!
