My Comments

Finding good instrumental organ music to play on my station is a very hard thing. I was surprised that there is very little of it out there, be it "in-print", or on LP. (That's why the organ music section did NOT exist in my online store.) In short, if you really like listening to church organ music, you'll love this CD, as well as his two other CD's that

The message inside the CD cover reads...
What Are These Songs?

Some called it "Evangelistic Service," some "Evening Service," and for most churches, it began, not at the later-popular 6:00 o'clock, but at 7:30PM. The earlier hour in those days was for the young peoples' groups called Christian Endeavor, or Christ's Ambassadors, or Crusaders or an acronym like BYPU. These were training groups, where we youngsters played the otherwise adult roles of leading, singing, praying, and sometimes preaching. That's where we learned the choruses like "What Though Wars May Come," "Only to Be," "Spirit Of The Living God," and "Christ For Me."

After our group meeting, we went upstairs for more music, preaching, and praying. For some the organ and piano played, but for us, the whole band rang out with usually-familiar songs, always up-beat, calling out to us the various themes that tied us together... songs of redemption, songs of testimony, songs of praise.

The evangelistic service, they called it, but it never really seemed to be evangelistic as much as it was like a family gathering. The congregation sang better on Sunday evenings, I thought. We sang more and we sang better. This was also a a time for "special numbers". The men's quartet sang, "A New Name In Glory," a family group with a banjo, a piano and a couple of horns went public with "At Calvary".

The junior high girls' trio, two singers and a giggler, displayed their talents in front of the adults for the first time. Why one who was learning any instrument was expected to "favor us with a solo." A little help with the spindly music stand and I was off...struggling through an accordion solo in front of a sea of familiar faces.

The preaching was lively, usually exhorting more than instructing, but at the end, we heard "Softly And Tenderly, Jesus Is Calling," or we sang "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior" and we were reminded of the challenges of the coming week and of our own inability of face the world alone.

These are the song from the tabernacles, from the tent revivals, and the rented auditoriums. They were published in the hymn books, but also in the paper-backed song books for youth and children. They are part of our heritage of music in the evangelical church.
