Just The Right Song
The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to, after the worship service, 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. " After
the regular 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 started playing
"The Star-Spangled Banner."
And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
