Woman bearing her testimony: My husband always would say that we were singing the hymn on page number such-and-such and I kept telling him that it is a hymn number not a page number. If you count the pages, it does not match up with the hymn number so it is hymn number and not page number. He has started to say hymn number now, so I’m thankful for that.
