NEW GENERATION SINGERS

Northeast Bapf.Host fo Musical73 Convention

I

NORTH EAST BAPTIST CHURCH

tion, the subject was given the

Rev. Stewart's dexterous treat-ment in making the ordinary a

thing ofimmense joy.

Sunday was a chrystal-clearday; sunny and bright; and thesoft breeze sweeping the coun-

tryside added a rawness to theglowing Springtime which, in

tum, forced sprightness into

the footsteps of the gathering

crowd who wanted to linger

outside to drink deeply of the"blooming garb of spring."

Rev. T. R. Cole, president

of the Convention, deliveredthe 11 o'clock worship mes-

sage. Leroy Farrar was guestsoloist for this service.

The Sunday evening ser-

vice was planned with all the

choirs at the helm. Hib was

jubilee time for the singers

and everyone was in excellentvoice. All voices were lifted insongs of praises to the glory ofGod.

If you've never attended or

throught the Singing Conven-tion went out with celloid col-lars, buttoned shoes and Band-

Box Suppers, you're all wrong.

A 1972 Session will be held atHickory Grove with Dr. Man-

ley as host pastor. Besidesthere will be a '73rd and '74 th;the former is slated for Bar-ber's Chapel, the latter will beheld at Mt. Zion, WakeCounty.

Have you ever awaken to

the inner voice saying to you

softly; "this is your day. Thisday you will put enthusiam in-to your work. This day you

will express enthusiam whengreeting people. This day youwill exercise enthusiam. Pa-haps Mrs. Annie Carlton Smithdid not awaken to an inner

voice singing these words intoher ears the morning after theSinging Convention; neverthe-less, her enthusiam, apparently,stemmed from some innersource when she dropped her

usual reserve and shouted glee-fully; "the Singing Conventionwas great! Just wonderful!The best we've ever had. Andthe thing that makes me sohappy is that all this happen-ed at North Ekst! My Church!This is the first time the Con-vention has been held at NorthEast Baptist Church! Every-thing was grand!"

Similar to the Holy sprit,enthusiam goes from breastto breast. It catches on! Andthe hurried pace of Mrs.

Smith's listeners slowed downto hear more of this excitingstory that caused Annie suchexhilarating happiness. Whatcould have sparked this usually"cold potato?"

"Singing Convention?" Thetone of the interrogator im-plied bewilderment-are thosekind of Conventions still in

existence? Ann didn't noticethe innocent jab to the abdo-

men of her enthusiam; she

rattled on about the success ofthis year's Singing Festival.

"The 73rd Annual Sessionof the New Hope Musical Con-vention met at the North EastBaptist Church, on ApexRoad, with the Reverend T.

R. Cole, host pastor, and pre-

sident of the Convention.The Friday night session

opened with the youth In

charge. Naturally, music high-lighted this service. The com-

bined youth choir and theadult convention choir blend-ed their voice into an angelic

harmony spectacular.

In addition to the glorious

singing, Phyllis Woods and

Dennis Farrington gave inspi-

rational readings on "punctual-

ity Pays," and "The Ten Com-mandments" for Choir mem-

bers. The latter was so well re-

ceived that copies are being

prepared for choirs and otherinterested persons.

"Song of the Redeemed,"

a beautiful sermon by the il-lustrous Dr. J. R. Manley,channeled the Saturday morn-ing session into its proper per-

spective. The mixed choirs ofFirst Baptist of Chapel Hill

and Hickory Grove Churchessuperbly supported the won-

drous message."Every Church Should

. SJnfi.flnd, Understand Hymns"was the topic of discussion bythe Rev. James A. Stewart.

And to everyone's expecta-

New Generation Singers Debut is Great SuccessDurham was rocked back

on its heels Tuesday nightApril 27th by the Ultra-dyna-mic performance erf the NewGeneration Singers on theirdebute at Durham BusinessCollege.

With a packed house - ca-

pacity corwd the group en-thralled the audience with soulmoving hymns, hand clapping

gospel and foot tapping pop-gospel sounds of today.

The group was formed ofDurham's most talented mus-cians and vocalist by Oren

Marsh, Jr.Inspired by the Edwin Haw-

kins Singers and the OperationBreadbasket Choir and Orchas-ter he (Marsh) felt the Dur-

ham's vast number of talentedperformers should unite theirefforts toward one common

goal and do something thatwould really help young blackAmericans express themselves.

Soon to be a father of four,Oren is proudly interested intoday's youth. For a song to

sound right, everyone must be

In harmony(working together).Peace on earth requires thesame thing...The New Genera-tion Singers are a steppingstone in that direction. Theyhope to identify them-selves by their good works.

The group was scheduled to

perform at NCCU In the BNDuke Auditiorium, Hirusday,May 6.

We wish to thank the manypatrons whose names were notlisted on the program.

Thank you, thank you,thank you!
