ton for the next Sunday. The sexton
was instructed how to set it going. and
how TO stop it, but unfortunately forgot
the latter part of his business; and af
ter singing the first four verses Of a
hymn before the sermon, the organ could
not be stopped, but continued playing
two verses more then just as the cler.
eymau completed tho words. let us
pray" the organ again clicked and star.
ted another tune. The sexton and 9th.
ers continued their excrtions to find the
spring, but no one could put stop TO
It so they got four OF the stoutest mon
in the church 10 shoulder the pervcrse
instrument, and they carried it down the
aisle Of the church, playing away. into
the churchyard, where it continued
clicking and playing until the whole
forty tunes were finished.
