A Point Needing To Be Settled
A SCOTTISH minister being one day engaged in visiting some members of
his flock, came to the door of a house where his gentle tapping could
not be heard for the noise of contention within. After waiting a little
he opened the door and walked in, saying, with an authoritative voice,
I should like to know who is the head of this house?--Weel, sir,
said the husband and father, if ye sit doon a wee, we'll maybe be able
to tell ye, for we're just trying to settle that point.
