Hymns were used to teach doctrine as well.

People could not read, but they could sing and learn the words to songs by listening.

“Hymns were used to teach doctrine as well.”

Very neat, and clever too.

Singing does make you remember so many things. Thus, the jingles in commercials.

Heck, I even remember “You’ll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent”, which has to be decades old. But that is how putting something to a tune works....even the simple little tune to remember the alphabet for kids.

In a few short posts we go from tunes to teach doctrine, to chewing on gizzards. It’s a fine day on the thread lol.
