_ Thus it went on, with never wearying iteration, and each time with the refrain, more and more rhythmic and swaying: _The old time religion, The old time religion, The old time religion   It's good enough for me!_ That it was good for the Hebrew children, that it was good for Paul and Silas, that it will help you when you're dying, that it will show the way to heaven  all these and still other lines were sung, with a sort of wailing softness, a curious monotone, a depth of earnestness. THUS IT WENT ON WITH NEVER WEARYING ITERATION EACH TIME WITH A REFRAIN MORE AND MORE RHYTHMIC AND SWAYING THE OLD TIME RELIGION THE OLD TIME RELIGION THE OLD TIME RELIGION IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME THAT IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE HEBREW CHILDREN THAT IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR PAUL AND SILAS THAT IT WILL HELP YOU WHEN YOU'RE DYING AND IT WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY TO HEAVEN ALL THESE AND STILL OTHER LINES WERE SUNG WITH A SORT OF WAILING SOFTNESS A CURIOUS MONOTONE A DEPTH OF EARNESTNESS

It was good on the fiery furnace and it’s good enough for me!  OPERAS IN THE WORLD BUT HAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING HE LOVED AS HE STILL LOVED THE OLD TIME RELIGION I FORGET WHAT A REASON THERE WAS FOR MC KINLEY'S ESPECIALLY LIKING IT BUT HE AS GARFIELD LIKED IT IMMENSELY WHAT FOLLOWED WAS A STRIKING EXAMPLE OF CONWELL'S INTENTNESS ON LOSING NO CHANCE TO FIX AN IMPRESSION IN THE HEARER'S MIND AND AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS REALLY AN ASTOUNDING PROOF OF HIS POWER TO MOVE AND SWAY FOR A NEW EXPRESSION CAME OVER HIS FACE AND HE SAID AS IF THE IDEA HAD ONLY AT THAT MOMENT OCCURRED TO HIM AS IT MOST PROBABLY HAD I THINK IT'S IN OUR HYMNAL AND IN A MOMENT HE ANNOUNCED THE NUMBER AND THE GREAT ORGAN STRUCK AND EVERY PERSON IN THE GREAT CHURCH EVERY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD JOINED IN THE SWINGING RHYTHM OF VERSE AFTER VERSE AS THEY COULD NEVER TIRE OF THE OLD TIME RELIGION IT IS A SIMPLE MELODY MORE THAN A SINGLE LINE OF ALMOST MONOTONE MUSIC IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR MOTHER AND IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH ON THE FIERY FURNACE AND IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
