On a certain occasion, the eloquent Dr. E. H. Chapin, being sick, was compelled
to ask a friend to preach for him. As the stranger rose to announce the opening
hymn, a score of persons rose to go out. This clergyman also was equal to such
an emergency.
"All," he said, "who came here to worship Dr. Chapin will please leave now; but
those who came to worship God will sing the forty-third hymn." That stopped the
exodus.
