Believe In Being Cheerful.

I'm on the sunny side of life they
were singing in the beginning of the
meeting last night, and that was the
chorus OF the refrain to foTty-odd
verses of the song. As they sang
joyously and very unsteady. there
were the frequent grace notes orna-
menting the score that defy the nota-
ton OF the white man, and the sort of
antiphonaI harmony that IS a paradox
in ordinary music, but common among
the negroes.
As they sang. they constantly
cIapped their hands loudly and force
fully. and their bodies swayed to and
fro in rythm with the music. The har-
mony of the mems and women's
voices was perfect and delightful.
All of their songs are Of the revival
kind, but they sing them in way that
makes them better music than they
are written by the composer.
