Reform Thy Self
A Cantankerous Chruch Choir
The choir always tittered and whispered all through the service. There was once a church choir that was not ill-bred, but I have forgotten where it was.

Only Hogs Go To Church?
“There warn't anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warn't any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summer-time because it's cool. If you notice, most folks don't go to church only when they've got to; but a hog is different.”
― Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
