Soliciting Donations

A 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."
