“The singing should not be done
by a few only. All present should
be encouraged to join in the
song service. There are those
who have a special gift of song,
and there are times when a
special message is borne by
one singing alone or by several
uniting in song. But the singing
is seldom to be done by a few.
The ability to sing is a talent of
influence, which God desires
all to cultivate and use
to His name’s glory.”

Ellen G. White,
Testimonies for the Church,
vol. 7, pp. 115, 116
