"Ding-Dong" and "ding-ding"

Two old laymen met at the back fence by chance, a deacon from one church and a trustee from another- solid pillars in their respective churches. It was in character for them to talk about their churches which they loved.
"How was church yesterday?" one asked. With a faint sigh the answer was, "I'm afraid the same old 'ding-dong. ding-dong.'" "You're fortunate," said the first. "All we get is 'ding-ding, ding-ding.'"
Of course that was years ago. Maybe today the conversation might be "DING-DONG"' and "ding-ding" due to electronic amplification.

Anyway-- in sermons and services-- there is no substitute for clear notes, beautiful melody, varying dynamics, and humble but sincere presentation. The unpardonable sin in worship is human manipulation, or making what should be the most exquisite joy humans can know a matter of performance or excitement instead of openness to divine invasion.
