Remember when "Cutting Edge" was the latest Convention Songbook |
Old Time Country Preacher |
Like when we had the most recent edition of the convention songbook and the other churches on the district didn't.
I remember one time the latest edition of the convention book was yeller. So when folk would git up to sing, the choir director would say "Page 73 in the Yeller Book." But then the next edition come out an it was blue. We had been sangin outta the blue one fer a few weeks an had a fellowship meetin at another church on the district, an they only had the yeller book. Yep, we went back to our church thinkin, "Son, we cuttin edge with this new blue book." |

Yep, it was always good to keep at least one back up.
I always thought it was funny. we would sing about 10 of the 70-100 songs in the book. My past time in church was to count the songs written by the men and women I knew.
I remember telling T.N WArd I was worried about him. I saw his name in the Hymnal, and I thought that was the song book where the Dead writers songs were.  _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

There was Two of the Ward brothers. Both much older than I, and both wrote music and held short 'music schools', big on four part harmony. I cannot remember T.N.'s brother's name. He had a cabin on the NC campground. _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

toilet paper on a roll
flush toilets
a Kelvinator
'lectric lights
automatic transmissions
using olive oil for something besides anointing oil |

I remember when I was about 12 or 13 an seen at Pompeii Olive Oil in the grocery store. I couldn't believe, cause I thought it come straight from heaven. Only place I had ever seen it was on the Bible stand at church. |

Yes, when I finally got past feeling sacrilegious and actually bought some for personal use in cooking, I was totally amazed at how pleasant it tasted and how light it smelled compared to that in the ridged bottle that had been sitting for years on that wooden pulpit.  |

Yep, I did too. In fact, I shared a pic of it on the Memories page for the NCCOG campgrounds FB page. Are you a member of that, Cojak? _________________ "More of Him...less of me."

Yes, I saw your entry about the oil.
I don't know but a few folk who comment. Most of my peers are gone or are afraid of a computer. I laugh at myself. I was in charge of the sound one Camp Meeting, my hearing has always been bad. The Acoustics were terrible.
I remember some preacher that believed in pouring that oil, or 'glugging it out', 'I remember him saying this is the bible way. He could have used a gallon jug of that olive oil.  _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

I cannot imagine anointing with 'EXTRA LITE OIL'! YOU MIGHT JUST GET A LITE BLESSING.
But really, I don't think anyone in the South East cooked with Olive oil in the early days.  _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

You're dead right, Cojak. That woulda been a shore setup fer a EXTRA LITE HEALIN. Only reason I used this pic is cause it was the only one I seen that had the ribbed bottle like the one we had in ma home church. Son, we would notta been caught dead with no EXTRA LITE, it was always the hi-test, the full-strength stuff. |

Yes indeed , they were cutting edge songs. I really like the chord progressions in;
1. Bringing in the sheaves.
2. The good Ole gospel ship |

The young'uns used to march up front (Penny March) while "Bringin in the Sheaves" was played. We would put money in this little wooden church somebody had made (it was about 1' by 1' square). At the end a the month the money was sent to the COG orphanage in Tennessee. |
