A London paper says that an adjutant in the Salvation army has achieved the remarkable feat of singing 59 hymns in 59 minutes
The occasion on which this record was made was called a "singing battle."
He began with "I Will Follow Jesus," and hymn after hymn followed swiftly.
When he reached the Doxology, after singing eight extra hymns, he was two and a quarter minutes ahead of the stipulated time.
When he finished he shouted, "Bless the Lord; I've broken the record."
