Marsh, Jr.
Inspired by the Edwin Haw
kins Singers and the Operation
Breadbasket Choir and Or chas
ter he (Marsh) felt the Dur
ham's vast number of talented
performers should unite their
efforts toward one common
goal and do something that
would really help young black
Americans express themselves.
Soon to be a father of four,
Oren is proudly interested in
today's youth. For a song to
sound right, everyone must be
In harmony(working together).
Peace on earth requires the
same thing...The New Genera
tion Singers are a stepping
stone in that direction. They
hope to identify them
selves by their good works.
The group was scheduled to
perform at NCCU In the BN
Duke Auditiorium, Hirusday,
May 6.
We wish to thank the many
patrons whose names were not
listed on the program.

did not awaken to an inner

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 the
adult 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 other
interested 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 of
First Baptist of Chapel Hill
and Hickory Grove Churches
superbly supported the won
drous message.
"Every Church Should
. SJnfi.flnd, Understand Hymns"
was the topic of discussion by
the Rev. James A. Stewart.
And to everyone's expecta
tion, the subject was given the
Rev. Stewart's dexterous treat
ment in making the ordinary a
thing of immense joy.
Sunday was a chrystal-clear
day; sunny and bright; and the
soft breeze sweeping the coun
tryside added a rawness to the
glowing 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, delivered
the 11 o'clock worship mes
sage. Leroy Farrar was guest
soloist for this service.
