The Minister Replies There was the lady who told her minister one Sunday morning that “this sermon was not over my head,” with that sweet emphasis on “this” which every parson knows so well. Meaning to ease the impeachment of “those” sermons, the estimable woman during the week asked the preacher if her remark had been out of place. The reply of the minister was, “Not at all; only after church would not have been quite the time for me to say what was in my mind, but now I will. When the sermon is over your head, raise your head.”
