This fact put new life into the proceed
ings at once.
.'Praise the Lord" yelled Pastor Han-
cox. "God save them," put in Brother
Bennett from Poughkeepsie. Sister
Jackson and others started to sing. They
all seemed de5irous of singing, but hav-
ing found two who wanted to be saved,
the presiding brother neglected to give
out the number of the hymn, and as u
result there ives slight" discord, but
undaunted the sisters proceeded until
checked by Pastor Hancox who ordered
them to sing For this is the very same
Jesus
AT the conclusion of the hymn Pastor
Hancox stated that the gentlemen who
