It has brou ght com- fort and inspiration to million s of Americans. Many othei' - fine! it a wonderful way to express their faith. Still others sing hymns ev- ery day for the warm feeling of love ar. d brotherhood it g ; ves them. But churchgoers in a little town in New Jersey found hymn sing- ing a moving experience which brought members of every church together for a communi' y h ymn sing one Sunday evening last May. More than fi . oOO people sang th<\ hymns they loved best with Bill McVey, the Christian Herald Singer. They sang \The Old Plug- ged Cross . \ \How Great Thou Art . \ \Abide With Me . \ \What a Friend We Have in Jesus , \ and dozens of othei- hymns they had named in a local survey. Young and old—5.000 strong- — gathered in the Philli pshurg. N. J., high school stadium and another 1 .500 people sang in the parking- field. They j oined a l. r )0-voice local choir , composed of members of just about every church choir in Phillipshurg. Baptists. Lutherans . Methodists. Presbyterians—members of every Protestant church in Philli pshurg, sang- together , expressing their faith in song and discovering that h ymns have doop personal mean- ing- that hold true for members of every denomination. Tho Philli pshurg Council of Churches had invited Bill McVey, who has held h ymn sings in churches and towns of all sizes across the country, to conduct a communit y h ymn sing, open to everyone regardless of religious a ffiliation , as the major event on the New Jersey town ' s Religious Heritage day. A local layman and civic leader volunteered to lead the committee , which included housewives of ev- ery faith who asked to help type programs and song- sheets for the hymn sing- . Every Protestant minister urged his congregation to attend and preached on the benefits of hymn singing- on a famil y—and com- munit y-—wide basis . Ministers also inserted notices in theii - church newsletters. The local newspaper (Easton , ^ Pa., Express) and radio stations carried news stories and features on the hymn sing. The last week before the hymn sing - , it rained. But the skies clear- ed on May 28 and the choir gath- ered in the stadium to hold its only rehearsal with baritone Mc- Vey and the organist , Ashley Mil- ler of Radio City Music Hall. Mr. McVey and Christian Her- ald have received a flood of letters and cards from Phillipshurg churchgoers who shared the rich , heartwarming experience of sing- ing their favorite hymns and gos- pel songs with their families and friends. Phillipshurg- citizens were es- pecially enthusiastic about sing- ing - the hymns they selected. The Council of Churches and Christian Herald conducted a local survey and almost 1, 000 peop le voted for the hvmns thev wanted to sing \ with Mr. McVey and their choir. Now The Long - Island Advance , newspapers throug hout the coun- try, and Christian Herald are con- ducting the National Newspapers Hymn Poll to determine the hymns Advance readers , and Americans everywhere , love best. Every reader of The Advance can vote bv using a heavy black pencil or ball-point pen to write the name of his favorite hymn on the official ballot printed with this story. In appreciation , The Advance and Christian Herald will give Bill McVey ' s inspiring (54-page hook , \Hymn Thoughts for t he Day, \ containing a hymn and scri p ture reading for every day of the month, to everyone who votes for his favorite hymn or gospel song.
