At such meeting as this there is change
in coming and going, as, from different parts
the people, for such a time as circumstances
allow, mingle together to greet each other,
worship awhile, and, parting, say fare
well.' Here voices, cultivated and with
natural sweetness, mingle and blend in sweet
harmony, which never before struck mu-
tually the elastic sound-bearing air-then to
float out among the trees, posing, drifting,
lingering, pulsating, falling, rising and filling
the ears and touching the hearts of the
listeners to awaken the spirit of devotion
and cheer with the prospects of the Land of
Song just yonder.
The choir here is composed of several
leaders of choirs and vocalists from different
parts The number Of those who join to
