DETROIT-Thousands of
Detroiters celebrated Palm Sunday
(April12) ith traditional wo d
. ongs nd many ermons were
preached about the approaching
Good Friday, the day the Scriptures
ay "Jesus died for man's sins."
From prestigiou places,
limousines rolled the fur- and
diamond-dripping finery to par­
ticipate in services and sit on the hard
benche reminiscent of "down
home" from whence we all came.
Songs like "He's My Rock," "A
Wheel In The Middle Of A Wheel,"
"Precious Lord" and "Steel Away"
shook the rafters as the approaching
hour moved into its final week.
The "God Father of Gospel," Wil-
lie Banks, at the holiday celebration
at New Bethel Baptist Church said
what many said through their te -
timony of words and songs.
"I A promise to GOd that
I ould serve him," Banks, bo be­
cause of declining health its on
stage and walks with the aid of a
cane, said. "I am not going to break
that promise because ('when that roll
is called up yonder') I have to have
a home to go to."
