DID HE VICAR STOP
1t was too much. Every Sunday old
Adams, who blew the organ, would
continue blowing after the music had
stopped, thereby producing most I'M
desirable sounds.
Time and again had the organist
taken him to task for it.
Fright, mister" had been old
Adams inYariable reply. 81 forgits,
you know"
One Sunday the organist could
stand it no longer.
The congregation had been set tit
tering by the old mans forgetfulness,
and during the sermon the organist
seized the opportunity to write him
a note on the matter, and hand it to
a choir-boy to deliver.
Misunderstanding the. whispered
directions, the lad handed the note
straight up to the vicar, who as
toundedly read the following:
viii you stop when l tell you to?
People come here to listen to my
music, not to your horrible noise"
