The weather was cold, with rain, sleet, and snow. Still, there was a good turn-out of singers who braved the elements to come over the mountains and up the valleys to sing together.
It was a two-book singing, The Christian Harmony (‘Carolina book’, 1873 facsimile, 1994 reprint)
(sometimes tagged with `CHw')
and New Harp of Columbia, Restored Edition, 2001
(sometimes tagged with `NHC').
Most leaders led two songs.
Don Wiley welcomed the day leading
381D (CHw), Holy Manna,
followed by Prayer.
The first session was Christian Harmony only.
