You probably heard those wonder
full reports which came over sta
ton KBRO last week. You will
agree, then, that the singing OF
ethe we'll known Bremerton Gospel
Messengers was really beautiful.

Summerise, Robert Singleton and
Harry Myers.
The regular meeting of the
N.A.A.C.P. was held Friday night
in the Y.M.C.A. social room. The
meetings are really very bene-
fetal as well as entertaining. Guest
speaker was the Rev. T. B. Fent-
ress with wonderful entertainment
being given by that well known
Gospel Chorus.
The mass meeting of the NAA-
CP was held Sunday afternoon as
scheduled at the First Methodist
-
Church of Fifth and Pacific. We
believe that everyone will agree
that it was a tremendous success
in every way.
The program was as follows:
Master of ceremonies was Rev. T.
B. Fentress, pastor of the Mt.
Zion Baptist Church. The congre-
cation sang America. The invo-
cation and welcome were given
by Rev. Richard D. Decker, Pastor
Of the First Methodist Church.
Very beautiful musical selec-
tons were given by the Bremen
ton Gospel Messengers. They sang
Remember Me-" and Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" Also very
beautiful musical selections were
rendered by that wonderful Beth
lehem Quartet. They are very
specially talented and the audience
greatly enjoyed Eyes. God Is Real"
and Somebody Knows" Mr.. Rob-
ert Malone. accompanied by Mrs.

the River Jordan"

aging editor of the Northwest En-
terprise, gave a very interesting

are really doing a wonderful work
for us.
Rev. F. Benjamin Davis, Pastor
of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church

upon presented his lovely choir,
which sang with great feeling,

is Real" two masterpieces in
spiritual hymnals.
The topic chosen to speak on

One of the highlights of his dis
cussion was the point made on
not classifying people. Says he,

just plain people"
