The service Sunday, February D,
at st. Peters AME church was oc-
casioned by the first Sunday COM
munion service.
Jesus the Guest of Every
Heart" was the subject of Rev.
Martin l. Simmons message as he
portrayed Christ as the guest OF
every heart. "One of the great
miracles of Christ was to trans
form disrespect into respectable
ity," Rev. Simmons said in ex-
planning his message. He told the
audience that people cannot mere
ly give mental accent to service
of Christ and humanity without
giving heart and soul.
He said that there are many ex-
amples OF mental accent. One ex-
ample comes from those who give
lip service, another is those who
Tip God" with a nickle on Sun

Robert McFerrin, slim

Amonasro. The Daily News critic.
Douglas Watt wrote:
Ills voice is not big one, but
II IL forcefully projected and artis-

McFerrin commanded attention as
a singing actor from the moment
he stepped on the stage. There was
a pleasing intensity about his
work: and although the orchestra,
under Fausto Cleva's direction,
drowned him out now and then.
his performance grew In convic-
ton, as IL went along"
Top Critic Miles Kastendieck Of
the New York Journal-American
said OF McFerrin's performance:
"As the first Negro male singer
TO appear in Metropolitan Opera,
Robert McFerrin fitted nicely into

aida. The refinement OF his per-
Torrance even rivaled that Of the
experienced singers with whom he
was cast"
