March 16, 1966 Editor, Port Perry Star Port Perry, Ont. Dear Sir: I think my occasional trek to one of the local churches this past winter has been a rather unique experience, After the traditional hand shake at the door and a chirpy "Good morn- ing!" my wife and I are ushered off to a pew. quite keen on the fact that we are alive, and therefore we're ready to dive into the minis- terial waters of song, The or- ganist, a very capable young lady, seems to be ready too as she pushes the Great Swell pedal to the floor on the final line of the introductory verse to the hymn. The choir quickly mar- shals to its feet and grabs a deep breath. The congregation, slightly reluctant, toddles to its feet, opens the hymn books, glances at them gently but scornfully, and then . . . . And then the unique experi- ence starts to occur. There's a silent scream. O people are singing as if it were going out of style! (I'm sure it must be). But the people who are not singing? They are the scream- ers. Here's how they do it. While you are singing your | little spiritual heart out, these arishoners craftily pivot around to see who is singing, and then with their little eyes gleemily directed right at you, they scream quietlyloudly "YOU ARE REALLY OUT OF PLACE SINGING IN HERE, BUDDY!" No, I'm not going to preach or philosophize . . . . . . just scream silently. John W. Allason INVEST NOW 6 % VICTORIA and GREY TRUST Guaranteed Investments.
