se, as if they could never tire, of “The Old-Time Religion.” It is a simple melody--barely 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 on the fiery furnace and it’s good enough for me!_ 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. And the man who had worked this miracle of control by evoking out of the past his memory of a meeting with two of the vanished great ones of the earth, stood before his people, leading them, singing with them, his eyes aglow with an inward light.
