Description

A service at Oaks True Holiness on Saint Helena Island, South Carolina. The recording begins in the midst of a praise song accompanied by the organ. A drum and clapping can be heard with vocals behind. Several gospel songs are recorded. The tape cuts after the third song to Eric Crawford introducing a service at Frissell Hall at the Penn Center campus of a hymn service. It sounds as if the congregation is lining two hymns. James Garfield Smalls can be heard in the congregation leading the spiritual "The Old Sheep Done Know the Road." The white noise of the tape makes the speaking of the congregation less clear.
