this service which was impressive,
as we'll as inspiring.
COlOrful Procession
The professional of ministers of
various denominations and races,
the combined Minneapolis Negro
choirs and the Twin Cities Ordnance
Plant Chorus at the beginning of
the service, was colorful.
There appeared to be a feeling
of real unity when the vast con-
gregation stood and sang the open
ming hymn "Stand Up, Stand Up
for Jesus" The invocation, followed
by the Lords Prayer in unison, was
given by the Rev. Kyle Haseldon,

Dakota Indians. The scripture les
son was read by the Rev. H. W.
Bolts, pastor of the Zion Baptist
church. Three numbers, "Gloria"
(12th Mass) by Mozart, "Ave
Maria" by Schubert Riegger, and
Coward, Christian Soldiers" were
rendered by the famous Twin Cities
Ordnance Plant Chorus, directed by
Clarence Russell and accompanied
by his talented wife, Olive Nelson
Russell, at the organ. The prayer
was given by the Rev. Carl Bartsch,
pastor of the Holy Trinity Lutheran
church. Two spirituals, Gust a
Little Talk with Jesus" by Cleavant
Derricks, and "Were You There
When They Crucifed My Lord?"

graduate of Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity and Union Theological Sem
mary, New York City, selected for
the subject of his message, "New
Frontiers of the Spirit" based on
the text found in Acts 2:2-4a. A
fitting climax to the sermon can be
summed up in Rev. Kelley's state
ment, "Interracial goodwill means
the reciprocal relation of individ-
uals and groups who are not con-
sidered interiors or superiors, but
as equal in the sight of God, before
the law and in the opportunity to
develop and utilize God given ca
pacities." Following the sermon
the offertory sentences were given
by the Rev. Daisuke Kitagawa,
Director of the United Ministry of
the Minneapolis Church Federation.
