The Old Time Singing.
The Old .Time Singing at
Greens Creek v. Church. Sunday
was a grand success and was
much enjoyed by all, but espec
ially by the old folks who said
"it made them feel young again"
and no one, who heard them sing
that day as- they sang forty years
ago, could doubt it.
'Twas a novel sight, to see
those gray-haired men and
women walk up to the front and
take their pjaces with that assur
ance and grace which a knowl
edge of their ability to sing the
old songs gave them I
For did they not have that
dear old song book called "The
'Christian Harmony' ' right in
their hands, or under their arms?
And did they not know-nearly
every song in it by heart?
It did their pld hearts good to
once more have a chance to min
gle their voices together, and to
grasp the hands 6 dear old com
rades "after many years!"
"There's lots of music in 'em,
. Those hymns of long ago.
And when some gray-haired' bro
ther" . -. '
Sings the ones I used to know,
I sorter want to take a hand
I think o' days gone by
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye!"
