wonderful words of Christ on
The Cross, was the sermon sub
ject Of Pastor Phillips last Sun
day before capacity and most
appreciatiVe congregation which
welcomed the debut of the new
Shiloh Male Choir under the
direction of Mrs Faucina Book
er. The robed Male Choir proved
an instant hit with its tenors,
baritone and bass voices and
which including Joseph Madden,
the youngest, to our Senior Dea-
con Whitfield Coleman among
the adults. Even Pastor Phil
lips Joined in the lively group
singing and everyone had a
grand song-happy time such
as has not been seen at Shiloh
for many years, The new plan
now is to present alternate
Sunday Choirs, including a pro
posed "All Ladies" adult Choir,
and the present Junior Teen
age Choir. There were around
fifteen members in the new
Male Choir last Sunday and
the request is still open for
all other males, young and old,
who want to join the group
And there is now a request for
all you ladies who want to sing
in all woman adult choir. We
recall one of Shiloh's finest wo-
man choir singers was the late
Ada Mason and there were
many more. Everybody loves to
sing good music and the new
Choir program Of giving every
one chance tC participate is
certainly a move IN the right
direction. In recent years the
churches have unfortunately
left little singing to the major
ity of the people who have BEEN
given less and less participation.
The new Shiloh program will
allow everyone to sing in one
of three choirs. In this way
everyone feels a closer aff1lia-
ton with each church program
and a closer attachment to
Gods Work. Other churches
will sooner or later follow the
new Shiloh Revival of a grand
old custom. incidentally, the
new Male Choir singing was
recorded on tape and was play
ed for sick and Shut-ins of
tht community as are all com
plete Shiloh morning services.
So, get your voices on tape,
friends, and help cheer others
1t may happen that Shiloh
tape recordings may some day
be included IN religious radio
broadcasts. Our Pastor is to be
publicaIly commended for mi
tiating this tape recording ma
chine in Shiloh services. 1t is
not Just a toy or ginmiek but
is used for a very practical
and helpful purpose. This ma
chine can be seen at the Par
! sonage and may be helpfol later
to community youth desiring to
make singing or instrumental
talent recordings, provided they
help provide their own tape
recording reels which can be
purchased reasonably and also
conveniently carried in the
pocket to any radio station or
talent studio for addition pur-
poses. All those interested may
contact the Pastor. The Shiloh
