Sankey L. Blanton was Director of Public Relations at Meredith College. There is a prayer and introduction to the speaker from 0:00-3:23. Dr. Blanton preaches out of Psalm 27 and his message was titled, "Enquiring in the Temple." Blanton discusses race relations and the Ole Miss riots of 1962 that had just recently occurred. Blanton encourages the students to do what is right in the eyes of God and states that Christians must have a richer compassion than the rest of the world. Dr. Blanton speaks from 3:32-21:20.
The service begins with the recitation of “Ring out the Old, Ring in the New” (00:00-00:46) and prayer (00:47-04:09). There was no introduction for the speaker, Dr. B. Elmo Scoggin, but he was Professor of Old Testament at SEBTS. For his message, he begins to read from Psalm 136:1-26 with the congregation. The entire chapel service is simply the reading of this text of Scripture in this manner (04:10-08:30). He ends his time with prayer (08:31-09:04).
