Finney's Prayer for the Oberlin Choir

ONE Sunday, after the choir at Oberlin had sung without distinctly pronouncing the words, Pres. Finney, in his prayer, alluded to the choir as follows: “O Lord, we have sung an anthem to thy praise. Thou knowest the words, but we do not. We do pray thee that those who led us may open their mouths, that we may know what they say, that we may join in thy praise. May they not sing to be heard of men. May they not mock thee, and offend thy people or the house of God, by making a display of themselves.”—Statesman.
