She is poking gentle fun by suggesting that god is the supreme clergy.

Explanation:

Emily Dickinson's poem "Some Keep The Sabbath Going To Church" is a poem of self asserting her stand on how she worships God and prefers to do it that way. She comments on how some people tend to go to church to worship, as if that is the only way to get connected to God.

Rather, Dickinson believes and practices the act of connecting to God even in her own space. She did not go to church to keep the Sabbath, but she did it in her own home, among nature. She also exclaims that God is "a noted Clergyman" whose sermons are never long unlike some clergymen who seem to keep on going in their sermons. By likening God to a clergyman, the poet seems to poke a bit of fun in her address of the way some people keep their faith. Although it is indeed a good quality to keep the practice, her practice of keeping the Sabbath in her own home is nonetheless inferior, for God is the supreme clergy.
