The form of the service is precisely that of the old Presbyterians in England, in all respects the opposite to that of the episcopal church. The music, I ought to say singing, was execrable ; the first tune was begun by the clerk alone, the congregation falling in at the second line. All sorts of voices and sounds were blended together in unparalleled dissonance. The tune was Milton, in the key of G, and at the end of each line the tune fell a quarter of a note, so that by the time they drawled it out to the end of the verse, it had sunk to E flat.
