Merit Shoe Style-Quali FOOTWEAR "FIT" LADIES A 1531 Main St. VEGROES SING SPIRITUALS AT "Y. M." MEETING SYDNEY PARK CHOIR hapel Was Full--Only Few Seats Unfilled-Got Good R4esponse The choir of the Sydney-Park Meth idist church, African, furnished a most inique and attractive program for the All University" Service Sunday night n the University chapel. For the econd time this year the chapel was illed, in the way that it ought to be illed for a meeting of this kind. The )nly seats available were a few in the ront rows while there were a number ;tanding in the rear of the balcony. The program was divided into parts, he first part consisting of a series of nthems which had been used by the :hoir in their own church services. During the intermission, some an iouncements were made about the >rogram for the spring. The second part of the program con ;isted' of the great spirituals sung in he way that only the makers of this treat form of music can sing them. ionie of the old favorites were "Ain't toner study War no more," "Can't hcar nobody pray," "Standing in the iced of prayer," and "Glory." At the :lose of the service, the choir was en :ored so they sang "Swing Low Sweet Chario," and then the meeting was adjourned by the entire audience sing ing a hymn together lead by the choir. The choir is trained by B. L. Smith who is a negro business man in Co lumbia. His wife was the mezzo so prano and did most of the lead work and solo parts. The star of the choir however was the piano player. He was a small slim youth but the way he made a piano talk was a caution. He seemed to ooze music from his fingers and his toes, and used his entire body to put the expression into his playing that he wanted. Having the choir at this time was peculiarly appropriate as the last study in the World Christian Educattion :lass was on race relationship.
