(A series of fifteen sketches refleetin~g Lisbon Metl~odLsm's One Hundred Years will bc presented in this column; "ex- eerpt~" from "100 Years of Metho~iism in Lisbon" as writ- ten by I{ev. ~Vm. D. Bostrom.) IV. The early pioneers in this com- munity were inherently a musical people, for tbrough they had no musical instruments in the House of Worship and few possessed hymn books, these deficiencies were made up in enthusiasm and ardor with which they sang the hymns. '['he hymns were read out by the minister two lines at a time. This custom of "lining out" hymns was followed down into the "70's" when in the recollection of A. M. Vloyd, not only the ministers, but the lay-leaders as well, as they knelt in prayer meeting, chose and led the songs which fitted their in- dividual religious experiences and nloods. The "new" Methodist Hymnal, puhlished in 1841, which is in the possession of the Harlan Briggs family, was undoubtedly used by the IAsbon congregation in the early days. It starts with "O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing My Great Redeemer's Praise," and contains ~t total of six hundred ninety-seven hymns, which were printed in very small letters, with- out music, in a book whose leather- bound cover measures only two inches by three and a half inches in size. In the "Old Church" (built in 1868), the Volunteer Choir sat on one side of the front of the church, while the "Amen Corner" was on the other side. During the '70's Miss Mary Littlefield played the reed organ and the Methodist Church was assisted by singers from the Reformed church which held services in the M'ethodist church every two weeks. One of the earliest musical pro- grams was directed by C. E. Les- lie, co-author of "The Conqueror" anthem collection. He came from Chicago, organized a singing school for which a fee of one dollar was charged. The climax of the course was a sacred concert given in the Methodist church. Early names in the music of the church were Miss Ida Floyd, N[r. John Wctherall. During tbe '"80's" Miss Nellie Fisher and Miss Add Barnes were organists. (This account of the music in the early days is through the court- esy of Mrs. G. L. Hill.) LISBON CHURCH NOTES FEDERATED CHURCH Rev. Gaylard S. Hamilton, Pastor S. S.
