At it Yet.
One Sunday the minister of a small northern country parish church had the misfortune to forget his sermon, and did not discover his loss till he reached the church. Suddenly an idea struck him. Ho sent for John, the beadle, and instructed him to give out the 119 th psalm (containing 176 verses), while he hurried home for his sermon. On his journey back to church, he saw the faithful beadle standing 1 at the church door waving his arms and shouting at him. On reaching the door, he exclaimed : " Are they all singing yet, John? " "Ay, sir," replied John, "they're at it yet, but they're cheepin' like sparries."
