SINGING AT SWAN
CREEK IS ENJOYED
Ronda Singing Conven
tion Meets With
Swan Creefl
V
"Praise ye the Lord, for it is good
to sing praises unto our God." Sure
ly this was manifested in songs in
great power last Sunday when the
Ronda Singing Convention met ac
cording to appointment with Swan
Creek church, with a record-break
ing attendance.
Services began with singing "What
a Friend We Have In Jesus", led by
Glenn Swaim, the faithful director
of the choir at this church, ac
companied at the piano by Charles
T. Jones and joined by the entire
congregation in singing.
Rev. N. T. Jarvis, the much loved
pastor, who has so capably served
this church for twenty-one years,
read the 150 th Psalm for devotion,
and again the congregation was
asked to join in singing the familiar
hymn "Amazing Grace", after Rev.
Mr. Jarvis read it in parts. Some
who knew it by memory would al
most forget to wait for him to read
again. This was showing to the
younger singers the old way of sing
ing when only the preacher had a
book. Rev. Mr. Crater was asked
to le&d the opening prayer.
Several selections were rendered
before noon by the choirs present
and Rev. R. J. Pardue dismissed the
service with a prayer.
An hour or more was spent at
noon. The shady grove and nearby
spring afforded a very . pleasant
place for lunch and for friends to
meet.
The chairman, Mr. Jones, called
for a congregational song when the
afternoon session began and an im
pressive prayer was led by Rev. Gus
Myers.
The choirs were soon ready to sing
and the secretary, Mr. Crater, had
enrolled other singers who had
joined in the afternoon. The home
class was asked to sing first, as is
the rule, and was led by Mr. Swaim,
who is known to have the biggest
choir in the convention. Bethel, di
rected by W. H. Jones. Elisha Mar
tin had Ills faithful group from
Pleasant Grove; Shady Grove choir,
of Yadkin county, directed by Mrs.
Church, joined us with a fine cla&s;
Rev. Clint Swaim, a former resident
of this place brought a male chorus
from Salem Baptist church, Wins
ton-Salem, which was enjoyed ve y
much. The quartettes present and
taking a part were Swan Creek, lect
by J. T. Myers; Bethel, W. H. Jones;
Wilkes, W. A. Stroud; Jonesville,
Jack Osborne; West Yadkin. Roy
Sale; Nanse, from Mayodan; pOaK
Ridge, Brown Southern, Myers;
Salem Baptist, C. V. Williams and
Paul B. Collins was present with a
quartet from Lincolnton long enough
to sing two numbers that were en
joyed very much. Mr. Collins and
his quartet were enroute to the'r
home from another convention. The
Wilkes quartet left at noon to at
tend another convention near Wil
kesboro, their home town.

dred less than during the same per
