eers of this move saw the thing from
an invincible angle, the spiritual"
Every community that is worthy the
name SNOW holding regular sings
The first attempt may not only sweep
the cobwebs from the unused threats,
but after while we will be singing

have begun through the spirit of the
community sing to learn the meaning
of thou shalt love thy neighbor' !;
jealousies, petty disagreements and
all their kin began to go by the
boards, and today we are, through
community singing, more united
America. Today we see America
going singing to her destiny"
