Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 February 1901 — Satisfied with the Choir. [ARTICLE]

Satisfied with the Choir.

When Lord Alverstone, the new Lord Chief Justice of England, wab Sir Richard Webster, Attorney General and Tory member for the Isle of Wight, he used to sing pretty regularly in the surpliced choir of Kensington parish church. One of his constituents, who did not know him by sight, thought he would like to see Ills member in this uncommon position for a great lawyer. So, when next in London, he attended morning service *one Sunday, and asked a verger which of the choir was Sir Richard Webster. “Well,” replied the official, “that’s the vicar, those are the curates, and I'm the verger; and so long as the choir gives satisfaction it is not my business to inquire into the antecedents of any of them, man or boy.”— London M.
