Parson and Organist

J “The Parson and the Organist were | walking side by side, I Said the Parson to the Organist, ‘Your tunes I can’t abide.’ ‘l’m sorry,’ said the latter, ‘that our tastes should disagree But really must say frankly that your sermons don’t touch “me.” ’ And so they fell discussing from their different points of view . The Pulpit and the Organ-loft, but quite | forgot the Pew; W77Z/ up came Deacon Johnson, who was W passing by that way j? And joining the discussion —just thought | he’d have ‘his’ say. ‘See here,’ said he, ‘my brothers, to quarrel I] so is wrong, | One shows the way to Heaven —the other. I , leads the song. | Let each io his vocation his best endeav- | ours bring, | For when we get to Heav&n we must , all | know how to sing.’ ® “This ended the discussion, for they knew f that he was right. C So Z/i<? Parson and the Organist shook | hands —as well they might.” g —H. Ford Benson, in the “Choir.”
