When Mildre
23、d combined her musical talents, as the local expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist（风琴师）for her church, with her sisters expertise（专长）in the area of Kindergarten Education, “Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success.The sisters published the song in a collection entitled Song Stories of
