Fervour of Song

Before the services there was great chorus of singing by a choir composed of hundreds of men and women from all churches in which) the congregation joined.

Brother J. Dalbert Courts, with the manner and bearing of an im: presario and a John Philip Sousa rolled into one, a British subject, formerly of London who was. converted by the evangelist "Gypsy Smith," was song leader. He swept across the platform, waving—his farms, singing himself, directing, urging, cajoling the voices into a nightly pean of praise.

The campaign hymn, ing melody more suggestive love song than of a revival hymn "In my hes there rings a melody, there melody, of love," was reverberating thro out the church when Uldine with a white for-collared cape thrown over her frock, came on the platform. She knelt'in prayer for a moment.
