The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for church repairs. And he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service", the minister said. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about needing more money”. When the time came, the minister said, "Brothers and sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up". The substitute organist played 'Advance Australia Fair', everyone stood, and that’s how the substitute became the regular organist!
