Hymn of 1874 sung by Sankey and a Romantic Tale
The Ninety and Nine recounts Sankey's memory wavering then guiding him to sing a hymn found on a train. He prayed, opened his scrap book, and with a live audience of two thousand, new notes flowed as he played an A flat key. The hymn, later linked to Miss Clephane of Scotland, became widely known. The piece then shifts to satirical quips from the Hornet on politics and a few ads for medicines.
