The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he wasgoing to ask the congregation to come up with more moneythan they were expecting for repairs to the churchbuilding. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that theregular organist was sick and a substitute had been broughtin at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what toplay."Here's a copy of the service," he saidimpatiently. "But, you'll have to think ofsomething to play after I make the announcement about thefinances."During the service, the minister paused and said,"Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; theroof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need$4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, pleasestand up."At that moment, the substitute organist played "TheStar Spangled Banner."And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
