Chorus Os 1000 SweepsBaptist Convention InLive Siritual Ferver

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—(SNS)—

The National Baptist Convention was filled with triumphant

exaltation as the chorus of 1000 voices swept the pi e-Conventionmusical into a mass outburst of spiritual fervor at the City Audi-torium on Wednesday night, when Directors E. W. D. Isaac and

Miss Lucie Campbell, the traditional spirituals in a song set-

ting of receptive and appreciative delegates. Excellent was theseinterpretations i.vhich flooded the huge audience of more than 80i

with lift and rapture.

Despite the vast effectiveness of

the work of the directors it re-

mained for the chorus to abandonstyled spirituals and give the song

recital its popular character.These singers glorified their spirit-

usual by the sincerity with which

thev sang. Theirs was no mere

collection of notes and rests, but

an overwhelming expression of

rapture. True, the singers shapedtheir phrases beautifully, employed

many a nuisance of tempo, andadded with utmost skill th e com-plete aborption so necessary to the

externalized spiritual stimulationso that one thought their mechani-cally provoked outburst was over-flowing with range and depth.

Provoked outburst was overflow-Miss Campbell started the pro-

gram with “Just A Closer Walk

With Thee” and brought the audi-

ence to shouts with “We Will GetTogether”. Continuing the pro-gram she invoked a bit of her per-

sonality into the musical score bysinging a “National Welcome

Chorus.”

The singer of the evening cameto the forefront. She was MissGeorgia Lee, who brought back

the old revival flavor with her sin-

ing of “Something Within”,

“Trampin’ ” which brought down

the house, and “In The Glory

“Land.”

With the auditorium In a reli-gious uproar the chorus sang “In

That Great Getting Up Morning”,

“Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel,Wade In The Water” and “He Will

Remember Me”, with the singingGeorgia Lee in The Sons of theSouth, a choral group from Tuske-gee institute wave an inspiringrendition of “Couldn’t Hear No-body Pray."

The unforgettable “Inflammatus”by the Composer Rossini, was ahighlight of the program, although

the general opinion of the audi-ence was that Mable Williamsmight have used the chorus to abetter advantage with a spiritualrather than the difficult classic.

C. George. Ann Jones, W. L. Alli-son, J. E. Dorsey were well accepted

by the delegates for their soleparts.

The Good Will Singers were avocal highlight as they gave to ashouting audience “He Will ReVmember Me.”

The program concluded w’ith

‘God Bless America.”

A LITTLESAFETY TALK

By J. W. STRODE

(Safety Coordinator, ArizonaHighway Department)

CHILDREN SHOULD BESEEN, NOT HURT

Someone has paraphrased apopular old maxim into the slo-gan, ‘Children should be seen, nothurt.’

This is particularly timely nowthat the season has arrived whenthousands of children of all agesare trooping to school.

Most of the smaller tots will beafoot. Some of the older ones willbe mounted on that bane of auto-

mobile drivers, the bicycle.Our children nowadays are re-

ceiving very valuable safety in-struction in the schools. Th\s hasbeen going on for many years, andas a result children are moresafety minded than adults. Auto-mobile drivers will find as a gen-eral rule that school children areobserving the traffic rules. If the

drivers will exercise as much cau-tion as the school children, therewill not be many accidents.

Two things can help to holddown the number of accidentsamong school children: One is for

parents and teadhers to refreshthe minds of pupils on the ordinary

safety practices wh : le they are

enroute to and from school, theother is for antoists to .bear in

mind that the unusual number of

children on the streets presents an

extra hazard and to rememberthe modern slogan.
