The Sacred Harp singing Sunday
was a rather loud and heightened af-
fair. Our old friend Frank Lewis,
got up to lead, selected good old
time song and said he had known
people converted when that song was
sung. Well, they might have been
then, but the way it was sung Sun
day it would have banished all the
convention. am not as old as Adam
Il
all that crowd was going and | never
heard such yelling at the top of their
voices when / was child. Say, bro
thef Wardlaw, did Greer Ward back
