To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The older ones re- plied that, if they actually did sing in the new way in heaven, the younger ones might just as well wait until they reached there, and sing in the old way while they had a chance. This was certainly reasonable. But it was of no avail. Possibly, from a guilty sense that, if they postponed singing the new way, to heaven, they might not be on hand for their parts, the young people sinfully insisted, and on a fatal night in 1773 the agony came to a culmination in a vote of the ch...urch to sing in the new way, and on the following Sunday the church was com- pelled to listen to the following startling in- novation : (Choir sings " New Durham, " without lining out. ) NEW ENGLAND CHURCH. 49 Now, any one can see that such a shock- ingly modern performance as this would outrage the feelings of the audience. The result was, as appears from the vote of the next church meeting, that half the con- gregation were so filled with righteous in- dignation that they could not find breath to sing at all.
