GOT EVEN.
There had be£n friction between the choir and the minister for some time past, but so far the singers had more than hold their own. However, one Sunday morning (the minister, after listening to the singing of the usual anthem, announced in a loud, clear
voice: "My text this morning will be, 'Now, when the uproar has ceased.' " For a moment the members of the choir looked crestfallen. Theyi felt that *the parson has scored for once. Then in the softest of whispers they decided to make a slight alteration in the musical programme ; and when the sermon concluded the organ pealed forthj and the choir .•triumphantly sang, "Now it is high time to wake from sleep."
