Music Ministry
Music had always played a major role in Smith's ministry and the continuing program of The Peoples Church. One of Smith's first moves when starting a new work was to have a capable music director so that a choir and orchestra would balance the program of evangelistic preaching. Smith felt that the music would not only be a form of worship in itself but set the tone for the service and encourage the speakers. Furthermore, Smith wrote 1200 hymns, poems, and gospel songs.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or ministry:
“O I shall hear skull skull,
Hear your lame music,
Believe music rejects undertaking,
Limps back.”
