WHITE YONKERS CHURCH CHOIR PROTESTS AN ADVERSE DECISION TO CHOIR CONTEST FolTowing" tie annual contest among Junior choirs of Baptist churches jn the Sute of New York, which was held recently under auspices of the Baptist Sunday School State Convention, in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, New York City, the Her. W. pastor the Messiah Baptist Church, Yonkers, N.

has entered a vehe ment ptotest against the decision 4)een handed down the committee of judgl. It appears that the decision was given to the junior choir of Shi loh Baptist Church, New Rochelle, with Messiah's representatives uA second." As a result, the Rev. Mr. Smith writes that "The choir of Messiah Baptist Church has entered a protest to the decision rendered by Prof. Jackson against them in the contest Explaining further, the minister writes.

"Out of all of the State, vr were only four to enter. The reason given by most of them is the unfairness of the judges and the way tbe whole thing is handled. But the choirs of the Shiloh Church of New Messiah Church of yonkers, Anttech Church of Brooklyn, and Betnany cnurcn 01 croon i. rr oted the invitation and entered the contest. Rut writes Pastor Smith," never was there a more feeble effort on the part of a set of judges to reach a conclusion than was the ef fort of Professor Jackson.

Grant, Bridges, and the two ladies, we do not recall their names. They did not reach a decision. The president of theonvention had to go in and ask them to come out, as the audience was leaving. "After much persuasion, they returned with some kind of a statement that was so unintelligible that hardly anyone could understand. The choir of the Shiloh Church was dubbed the winner, so far as the audience could understand, but they received severe criticism The Messiah Church was judged second, and yet he claimed that they ng better but that they hesitated a little too long before starting on "We wonder what a choir should do in a singing contest?

He hummed it now to relieve the tedium of the long hot day in the field. He hummed the hymn slowly and swung his hoe lazily. So deliber ately did he sing that he fouad himself supplying other words to the tune which had been the vehicle for pious sentiments on Sun day. Moreover, the new words rhymed; and George, who didn't know a poet from a porcupine, felt within him the "joy of elevated thought" that is the poet's reward when he has composed a thing of beauty. He sang his new song that night to someone at the "big house," which really was a small house on a small plantation, and that someone wrote it down.

The! next day George tried a new tune and made a new song; and though the corn crop suffered, the song crop waxed strong. Each night George brought a new poem back from the field; each bun day he learned new tunes and to the tunes he fitted his own ideas, really po etic ideas expressed in the religio colloquial vocabulary of the slave whose whole experience was re stricted to the field and the pro tracted meeting. A Sample Poem The vears in the Field were irki some to Georee. He was 32 years old when the book was published in 1829, and he had begun to feel the endlessness of his drudgery. He included in the book a poem beginning: "Am I sadly cast aside.

On Misfortune's rursed tide? Will the world my pains deride for ever? "Must I dwell in slavery's night And all pleasure take its flight, Far beyond my feeble sight, For ever?" Perhaps (and whether it was George's idea or an idea of his white friend at the "big house," no one knows) his slavery's night ftd not be forever after all George's songs had increased and multiplied.

He became one of the campus char acters in the carefree, pre speci alized early days of the university. George's poetic gift offered amuse ment, and the students paid for hearing the poems. The rate of a poem was 25 cents.

For a double fee, 50 cents, George weuld dictate a love lyric.
