The Singing Church: The Hymns It Wrote and Sang
Lorenz, Edmund S. (Edmund Simon)
Hymns -- History and criticism
[2]When Moody was superintendent of a Sunday school in Chicago, he had
a vicious boy in one of the classes whom he had reprimanded again
and again for disturbing the meeting. Finally one Sunday the boy
was unusually fractious and Moody turned to his chorister and
said, “When I get up and walk up the aisle, you start ‘Hold the
Fort’ as vigorously as you can.” While the song was being sung
with much enthusiasm, Moody dragged the boy out of the class by
the collar, took him to an adjacent room, and punished him
drastically while the school sang and submerged the boy’s cries.
The boy grew up, became a minister, and often told with glee the
story of how Moody started the work of grace in his heart.
CHAPTER XXII
[1]In regular services, single verse tunes may be played through, but
only the last half of double verse tunes should be allowed, lest
the momentum gained by the introductory comment be lost.
