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.
