- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Proverbs 3:19-20 (00:00-00:18) and prayer (00:19-03:30). An introduction is given for the speaker, Dr. William J. Fallis, who was Editor of Broadman Press (03:31-04:18). His Scripture lesson comes from Genesis 1:1-5 and 26-27, Psalm 104:13-15, Isaiah 40:18 and 22, and Psalm 103:22 (04:19-06:27). His message focuses on four secrets of God in our world which we may often take for granted: the secret of the star, displaying God’s order (06:28-12:17), the secret of the seed, displaying God’s variety (12:18-14:23), the secret of the child, displaying God’s companionship with man (14:24-16:26), and the secret of the cross, displaying God’s power and wisdom (16:27-18:39). He ends with prayer (18:40-19:54).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:54). Dr. Binkley introduces the speaker, William W. Leathers, Jr., who was the pastor of First Baptist Church in Henderson, NC (03:55-06:22). His message focuses on an event in the life of David when he sought refuge with his enemy, the Philistines, due to low faith, from 1 Samuel 30:6 (06:23-10:02). He discusses three paradoxes/alternatives/dilemmas which frequently face people: the matter of faith or frustration (10:03-11:17), the matter of prayer or paralysis (11:18-13:08), and the alternative of obedience or obstinancy (13:09-15:00). He recalls the persuasive preaching of George Pruitt, in which he said, “obedience is the song for a thousand victories” (15:01-17:31). He ends his time in prayer (17:32-18:12).

After this Scripture reading, Dr. Stewart Albert Newman, Professor of Theology and Philosophy of Religion, is introduced to bring the faculty’s charge to those graduating (08:41-09:54). He says that students have been equipped with two main tools to be reasonably successful: a structure of accurate and well-ordered knowledge, and a right spirit or motives (09:55-15:52). One last word of admonition is given, namely that they would not lose sight of their spirits in the rushing of events and the busyness and stress of ministry. He exhorts the graduates to blend their knowledge with this right spirit which honors God (15:53-25:12). A closing prayer is offered (25:13-25:40).

- Description:
- The first and fourth stanzas of the hymn “Come, Thou Almighty King” is prayed over the congregation at the tenth convocation of the seminary’s existence (00:00-00:42). President Sydnor Lorenzo Stealey introduces Dr. Miller concerning his educational, ministerial, and working background; he was the Dean of Harvard Divinity School (00:43-05:29). Dr. Miller’s sermon title is “Souls Threshed from their Husks,” a phrase taken from William Blake’s work. He believes the prime urgency of the ministry of the twentieth century is to be a well-founded, unconfused person, since many are confused as to what this means. Such a man, through theological integration, has been stripped of the world’s illusions and understands true personhood in Christ (05:30-22:16). We must live “at the growing edge redemptively” – the edge where God’s revelations come to life in difficult moments when sometimes words fail to pass from our lips (22:17-37:52). The crises of our lives force us to answer for ourselves what we think, feel, or believe alone before God, and these moments are what God uses to thresh our souls from their husks over our lifetimes (37:53-41:44).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-01:18), and 2 Corinthians 4:1-15 is read aloud before praying again (01:19-06:19). Dr. Miller, the Dean of Harvard Divinity School, is introduced according to his educational, ministerial, and working background. The title of his message is “Faith Beyond Conformity” (06:20-08:18). Dr. Miller begins by talking about the importance and rarity of actually living in your own epoch instead of trying to keep another epoch alive outside of its time (08:19-19:32). He mentions that three recent breakthroughs in the history of humanity have expanded the reach of human sin: spacial (interstellar) exploration and great power, a deep exploration of the human’s life (psychology), and the new creation of a world order via science, industry, and transportation. He mentions these because it is the task of the openness of faith to unite the inner man with the outer environment so that the two are integrated in meaning (19:33-26:45). The Christian Faith in man is complex, and it must continually respond to the questions raised against it by each epoch’s key figures; to be faithful to the first century but to deny the needs of one’s own century is indeed not Christian at all (26:46-35:55). The Christian Faith reconciles honest contradictions into beautiful unity through reconciliation and atonement (to save life is to lose it, and to lose life now is to save it) (35:56-47:29). The service closes with the reading of Ephesians 3:20-21 (47:30-48:03).

He then focuses on what part everyone can play in the continuation of a seminary’s influence, from students to trustees (07:14-11:08). An introduction is given for the speaker, Trustee J. Glenn Blackburn (11:09-12:22). He begins with his reflections of the inception of the seminary until then (10 years’ time) (12:23-22:04). He labeled the motives, manner, and meaning/purpose of the seminary to be according to the love mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 22:37-29 (22:05-32:47). He concludes by stressing again that the continuing spirit of the seminary must be a fervent love for God and for others, if the seminary will continue to amount to anything truly important and lasting (32:48-38:58). The service closes in prayer (38:59-39:49).

He stresses that the central theme of missions is seeking God in prayer (13:36-19:06). The Scripture text for the sermon is 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, entitled “the Ministry of Reconciliation” (19:07-20:55). Man’s basic need is to be reconciled to God, and we ought to leverage our means which we spend on buildings and programs to advance the gospel to the nations (20:56-34:57). He asks those in the congregation to consider their service to God as extending far instead of staying near, affirming God does call His people to both realms (34:58-53:18). He ends his message by talking about the seriousness of viewing oneself as a missionary, both near and far away (53:19-1:03:11).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 67:1-3 as a prayer (00:00-00:36). From SEBTS’s graduates, a list of homebound missionaries is read (00:37-01:52) along with a list of foreign missionaries (01:53-05:23) and missionaries currently studying at the SEBTS campus (05:24-07:00). A prayer is offered to God for these missionaries (07:01-13:39). An introduction for the service’s testimony by Charles Wiggs is given (13:40-15:37). He then shares his testimony (15:38-21:44). An introduction for five more testimonial reports is given (21:45-23:22), first by Bill Hern (23:23-25:56), second by Robert Lindsey (25:57-32:14), third by Robert Fielden (32:15-35:29), fourth by Harry Raley (35:30-37:54), and fifth by Gene Phillips (37:55-39:46). Concluding words reinforce the seminary’s belief that every Christian is called into full-time ministry, while others profess a specific calling into vocational ministry or missionary work (39:47-42:55). A closing hymn (42:56-46:11), a benediction (46:12-47:20), and singing ends the service (47:21-47:39).

Bunn, who was the Chairman of the Bible Department at Campbell College in North Carolina (02:33-03:16). He begins by reading Luke 4:16-19 (03:17-04:39). He transitions to speak about the internal weakness of many modern churches and their revitalization through “unlimited substitution” (04:40-09:20). This has come to be because plans, promotions, and organizations have been the exclusive tools for such a revitalization rather than the proclamation of the Word of God from the pulpit (09:21-11:52). The proper place of preaching for the minister and in the life of the church is discussed next (11:53-21:22). He then answers the question, “What will be our primary task or the center of our attention in ministry?” (21:23-26:25). He ends his time in prayer (26:26-27:37).

Davis, but he was a student at SEBTS. He outlines two presuppositions of seminary education (05:23-06:02). First, the questions we are raising at SEBTS are but hollow and intellectual gymnastics if they are foreign to the common man’s questions (06:03-13:49). Second, the gospel is a totally consuming dynamic and not a moral philosophy nor a legal code (13:50-23:53). He quotes Philippians 3:12-16 (23:54-24:46), and he ends his time in prayer (24:47-25:24).

Dr. Trotter introduces the speaker, the Reverend Allen Douglas Aldrich, who was the pastor of Forest Hills Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC (02:37-04:17). His message centers on Matthew 6:28. He begins his message by drawing attention to the growing edge of God’s hand which our lives must be subject to (04:18-13:02). The growth of our lives is determined by the vitality of our daily experience of prayer (13:03-14:25), on the basis of the tone of the thoughts on which we feed our lives (14:26-15:31), and by our involvement in relationships through the Church (15:32-18:30). When the growth happens, there is a gradual unfolding of the unique nature of what is growing; this growth cannot happen unless there is death, focusing us on the cross of Christ (18:31-22:41). He ends in prayer (22:42-23:43).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 40:2-3 (00:00-00:47). A general word of welcome (00:48-02:41) precedes an opening prayer (02:42-05:19). An introduction is given for the speaker, Richard Knox Young, who was Associate Professor of Pastoral Care at SEBTS (05:20-07:28). The entire message is the delivery of a piece of scholarship finalized in 1961 which focuses on the following details related to pastoral care: Richard Neibuhr’s contributions to the topic (07:29-13:21), the sociological effects of ministry on the pastor (13:22-15:25), and illnesses among ministers compared with that of the general population (15:26-25:19), along with limitations to the research (25:20-27:00). From his personal experience in counseling ministers, Dr. Young offers some frustrating factors in ministry, including the impossibility of the task (27:01-29:44), the emotional drain and constant giving to others (29:45-33:54), the limitations of his co-workers (33:55-34:51), the murmerings of his own unconscious (34:52-37:19), the necessity of working out a philosophy of life (37:20-38:42), his interprofessional relationships (38:43-40:08), success (40:09-41:34), and the minister’s home life (41:35-43:29). In closing, he mentions some exhortations for continuing ministry, including a personal, private devotional life (43:30-46:52), recreation (46:53-48:03), a sense of community (48:04-49:16), belief in your role and what you are doing (49:17-54:15), and having one’s home as a place of refuge (54:16-55:31). He ends by sharing the importance of choosing family before work (55:32-58:27).

- Dr. Stealey begins with a brief word (00:00-00:50) and a prayer (00:51-04:22). An introduction is given for Keith Edwards, who was a missionary to Nigeria as well as a physician and a surgeon (04:23-06:02). Colossians 3:11 is read aloud before Dr. Edwards gives the message (06:03-06:35). Dr. Edwards begins by suggesting that our concept of missions and missionaries is inaccurate. He proceeds to describe personal experiences of his missionary work in Nigeria (06:36-15:23). He emphasizes that there is no difference in death for people regarding different skin color or attire, and he reflects on the understanding Christ has for our sorrows (15:24-17:18:05). He ends in prayer (18:06-19:22).

The singing of a carol (04:58-09:36) and the singing of “O Little Town of Bethlehem” follow (09:37-13:55). President Stealey begins by informing the congregation of the fulfilled payment for the loan taken out for the seminary in 1951 (13:56-20:29). He then transitions into reading a criticism about the seminary (20:30-23:35) followed by a statement on the position of the seminary regarding it (23:36-26:45).

Ken Hoover introduces himself and others as SEBTS students who have led the service (08:03-11:31). He responds to the question, “What are we to do with the command to wash feet?” (11:32-15:23). He remarks that oftentimes, humans, in services of humility, have a tendency to think highly of themselves for their religiosity (15:24-17:21). He differentiates between a sign and a symbol to explain that the church’s symbol of humility has been irrevocably lost (17:22-23:26). The service ends in prayer (23:27-23:50).

An introduction is given for the speaker, Ernest Mayfield Ligon, who was the Director of the Character Research Project at Union College in Schenectady, NY (05:41-07:05). His message is the first of three in a series on the Lord’s Prayer. He begins by relating the spiritual life of the world to the “darkness” of Genesis 1:2 but encourages the audience that God called light into existence in Genesis 1:3. He emphasizes the importance of Jesus’s discipleship of the twelve during His earthly ministry (07:06-14:36). This message will focus only on “Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed by thy name” (14:37-15:03). He emphasizes the importance of “making decisions” and “responsibility” for the upcoming generations in their discipleship (15:04-18:38), describing the topic in terms of raising children (18:39-26:36). He ends in prayer (26:37-27:24).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 34:8 (00:00-00:21). An introduction is given for Dr. Ernest Mayfield Ligon, who was the Director of the Character Research Project at Union College in Schenectady, NY, as he delivers the second meditation in this series on the Lord’s Prayer (00:22-00:44). Dr. Ligon begins by reading Matthew 6:5-13 and offering some opening words (00:45-02:55). He recaps from the first meditation briefly (02:56-03:47). His message this day focuses on what you will do, based on verses 10-12. He outlines that most discovery comes from creative conflict and not from individual discovery (03:48-11:05). Next, he posits that we could never learn enough to worry God in His omniscience; while we could never know more than God, we should always seek to learn more, for we will never know everything (11:06-15:53). He views verse 11 as the realistic part of the prayer (15:54-17:58). He views verse 12 in this light as well (17:59-19:36). His last petition is on the words “lead us” in verse 13, which he views as communicating the willing, humble attitude which people need if they tend to have a “self-made” mentality (19:37-22:22). He ends in prayer (22:23-24:12), and the service ends with the singing of Numbers 6:24-26 (24:13-25:26).

He begins by telling a checkers story to illustrate that sometimes we change the rules of the game in order that we will win or to suit ourselves (12:08-16:27). Most days, we statistically face two courses: that of courage and that of safety, the more advantageous of the two being the path of courage (16:28-34:48). He ends in prayer (34:49-38:02), and the service ends with the singing of the end of the Lord’s Prayer (38:03-38:47).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 55:1-2 (00:00-00:38), prayer (00:47-03:37), and the reading of 2 Peter 1:1-11 (03:48-06:00). No introduction was given for Thomas Albert Bland, but he was Associate Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics. He begins by talking about the importance of the “frontier” in American history, taking note of the race for space but placing importance on the frontier of the inner man (06:01-08:13). Bland says that Peter, in this text, focuses on Faith’s Frontier, identifying seven qualities of life which are to be added to one’s faith; he was not academic but practical, having been personally impacted by the life and ministry of Jesus Christ (08:14-11:37). Bland then continues walking through the list mentioned in the text one item at a time, building upon the foundation of faith. He notes that faith and knowledge go together, so long as knowledge has self-control so that it does not puff one up in conceit (11:38-19:06). He ends his time in prayer (19:07-19:46).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Mark 13:33-37 (00:00-00:46) and prayer (00:47-03:57). The speaker gives general information about the upcoming visit by the Board of Trustees and other miscellaneous information (03:58-06:22). Sidney Randolph Crumpton is introduced as the chaplain over the southeastern states. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Twelfth Headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps. His educational background is also discussed (06:23-08:15). After making some introductory remarks, he begins by saying that there is no difference between serving God in the church and serving God in the chaplaincy, for in both we are serving the same God (08:16-12:45). Chaplaincy requires the endorsement of one’s local church (12:46-13:35), a BD degree from a seminary and passing physical testing (13:36-14:37), requesting to go on active duty and potentially going overseas in time (14:38-15:15). He concludes his time by affirming the present need and benefit of being a chaplain in the U.S. Army (15:16-18:20) before giving the benediction of Numbers 6:24-26 (18:21-18:39).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 42:1-2 (00:00-00:21) and prayer (00:22-01:52). Information about interactions between students and faculty is shared (01:53-03:35), and a brief introduction/welcome is given for Henry Riley, the speaker, as well as those present with him from Duke Divinity School (03:36-04:25). He reads from Mark 8:34-38 as his sermon text (04:26-06:16) before praying (06:17-07:14). He begins by speaking about different types of anxiety, highlighting the most severe and costly as the anxiety of the cross—the anxiety of losing one’s life in hope it will be raised up again (07:15-12:00). This anxiety of the cross calls for one to totally deny self, to participate in Jesus Christ, and to live worthy of the gospel, even Jesus Christ Himself (12:01-18:12). He ends his time in prayer (18:13-18:55), and choral music closes the service (18:56-24:22).

- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:01), a recognition of the Board of Trustees for this Founder’s Day Address (03:02-07:24), and a word of resignation from the chairman of the Board of Trustees as well as his introduction of the speaker, Dr. John Edward Steely, Associate Professor of Historical Theology (07:25-11:03). The choir sings “When I Survey the Wond’rous Cross” as the anthem of SEBTS (11:04-14:48) before Dr. Steely begins his address, covering personal counsel concerning the history of SEBTS over the previous 10 years from its inception to the present (14:49-16:23). The faculty began with only 4 members and a student body of 101 members, growing by the end of 10 years to a faculty of 30 members and a student body of over 700 members (16:24-17:03). Steely speaks to the efforts of the future historian who will write down this seminary’s history (17:04-23:08). He then speaks of the seminary’s emphases in pursuit of its objectives (23:09-23:55) before speaking about the contributions which over 9,000,000 Southern Baptists have supported through their cooperative giving (23:56-27:54). Dr. Steely then desires that everyone present would, with him, reaffirm their seminarial commitments to the purposes of Jesus Christ (27:55-29:12). Next, he mentions those advancements and doors of opportunity which have opened to the seminary during the second half of the decade, adding the need to live the Christian life to bear witness to Jesus Christ (29:13-33:41) so that the seminary will not fail to complete its task in educating ministers of the gospel (33:42-36:40). President Stealey closed the service with the singing of the seminary hymn (36:41-41:41), prayer (41:42-44:39), and closing song (44:40-46:51).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 27:14 (00:00-00:10) and 3 John 1:1-8 (00:11-02:01). No introduction was given for Olin Trivette Binkley, but he was Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics and Academic Dean of SEBTS. Focusing on 3 John 1:8, Binkley asks how students in a theological seminary might help the faculty to be productive scholars and creative teachers (02:02-03:49). Firstly, students may do this by affirming participation in a deeper knowledge of the truth about God and its relation to human decisions. They must join the professors in academic scholarship and see both parties as desiring to know the truth (03:50-06:59). Secondly, students and faculty must keep the channels of communication open with each other (07:00-09:54). Thirdly, students must show a readiness to recognize the perils confronting servants of God, namely three: accommodating the gospel to the culture, subordinating what God demands of us to what man expects of us, and practicing cruelty in human relations (09:55-13:23).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 95:6-7 (00:00-00:18) and the sermon text, Isaiah 40:1-31 (00:19-03:15), followed by prayer (03:16-05:05). No introduction is given for the speaker, Gene Owen. He begins by emphasizing God’s sovereignty and providence as One who holds the entire world in His hands, as One who worked through Joseph’s evil circumstances for the good of him and his family (05:06-08:10). He warns next about having a childish view of the providence of God expressed in an unembarrassed use of God’s name. This will lead to us fashioning God in our image, according to ourselves (08:11-10:50). Others possess a “mature,” adult view of God’s providence, in which man denies his need for God or His self-revelation through the Bible. He links this view with American capitalism and independence, calling us to rethink our clichés according to the truth of God from Scripture (10:51-14:25). The view of providence which Owen advocates is a childlike view, a simple belief in the totality of God’s providence from a place of complete dependence on God (14:26-19:04). He ends his time in prayer (19:05-19:33).

- No introduction was given for Troy Bennett, but he was a missionary in Southern Asia and a former graduate of SEBTS. He recounts the cultural differnces between his home and the mission field, remembering what he and his family had to learn while there, including customs, language, etc. (00:00-05:58). He then talks about a bothering question, “What is a Christian,” concerning which he received affirmative answers from many who did not know themselves what it meant to be a Christian. Identifying as Christian here meant identifying against over 85% of the Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu population (05:59-12:52). He then speaks about his experience of those in the East viewing the American West as “Christian” (12:53-17:07). Bennett referred to the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7 to determine what it truly means to be a Christian (17:08-21:01) before closing his time in prayer (21:02-22:38). Organ music ends the service (22:39-24:42).

- Description:
- The service begins with a general command to praise God (00:00-00:07), a prayer (00:08-02:08), and an introduction for the speaker, John Allen Easley, from Wake Forest College (02:09-03:20). He begins by reading selected verses from the end of John 6 (03:21-05:20) and opening appreciations for being in chapel at SEBTS (05:21-06:59). He then mentions different ways this tenth anniversary of SEBTS might be celebrated, according to reflecting on the past, looking forward to the future, or reaffirming convictions for the present. The latter is the view which Easley attributes most importance (07:00-07:58). According to the text of John 6 in light of John’s Gospel, His disciples needed to look beyond the events of Jesus’ ministry to Jesus Himself as the substance to which those events point (07:59-12:23). This “looking deeper” may cause us to reflect on both our churches and ourselves, and living for Christ will require us to show courage and dedication, promising eternal life and peace (12:24-21:21). He closes his time in prayer (21:22-22:36).

- The service begins with the readings of Isaiah 40:31 and Psalm 27:14 (00:00-00:28). No introduction is given for John Terrill Wayland, but he was Professor of Religious Education. He begins by speaking about America’s status for popularity concerning religion, questioning its legitimacy. He mentions statistics showing that more activities occur in church today than prayer, proceeding to emphasize the importance and difficulties of recovering prayer in our churches. These difficulties include one’s intellect, devotion, and, most of all, desire to be with God (00:29-06:22). Created in the image of God, we find our highest self in prayer, not merely in thinking or in struggling (06:23-08:27). Jesus’s disciples saw the effects of prayer on Him, saying to Him, “teach us to pray” (08:28-09:16). Prayer is a combination of two great truths: we must surrender our wills completely to God’s will, and we must assert ourselves to commune with God in faith (09:17-10:54). It is good to know that all that we ask will not be done by God, since God will accomplish His purposes instead of our purposes (10:55-12:10). We should pray so that we might find God and His strength for daily living as well as to see prayers answered for the good of all in God’s timing (12:11-13:54). He closes his time by reciting a poem about prayer (13:55-14:44) and praying (14:45-15:20).

- The service begins with the reading of Philippians 2:12b-13 (00:00-00:18), prayer (00:19-03:42), and announcements (03:43-09:26). No introduction was given for Sydnor Lorenzo Stealey, but he was the first president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He proceeds to read 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 and Hebrews 13:15-16 from the KJV (09:27-11:26), and then the same passages again from the Amplified New Testament (11:27-13:38). Stealey talks about an increasing willingness to look into our life and to try to make the institutional church conform more nearly to the spiritual church (13:39-16:02), and he advocates for the Home Mission Board (now the North American Mission Board) for students to participate in the Pioneer Program throughout the West (16:03-16:33). He then reads from the most recent issue of Home Mission Magazine, calling attention to the issue of segregation in public schools, which would continue to deepen the division between church and state (16:34-18:40). The main point of his message is this: in our living, we can do right, according to our conscience and our spiritual Leader, who is Christ (18:41-18:59). He concludes his time speaking about the cooperative program’s longevity in Southern Baptist life (19:00-21:50) and in prayer (21:51-22:09).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 67:1-3 (00:00-00:24) and prayer (00:25-01:59). The sermon text, Romans 5:6-11, is read aloud (02:00-03:22). No introduction was given for J. Henry Coffer, Jr., but he was Instructor of Religious Education at SEBTS. His sermon focuses on the meaning of the atonement, understood in the symbol of redemption—the blood of Christ. The hymnal phrase “washed in the blood” could cause much confusion about what is being communicated without an understanding of the blood of Christ (03:23-07:49). Coffer talks about the inner hostility in man and an oftentimes hidden or unspoken intent to release that anger onto its objects. He then points out that all of this hatred toward others is really pointed at God (07:50-15:42). The blood of Christ is the acceptance of our hostility against God, atoned for and completely spent, and in this way, God has redeemed us from our sins and has reconciled man to Himself (15:43-22:20). He ends his time in prayer (22:21-22:45).

- The service begins with the reading of Matthew 7:12 (00:00-00:15), a prayer update (00:16-01:01), and prayer (01:02-05:04). An introduction is given for the speaker, Douglas M. Branch, the Executive Secretary of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (05:05-07:47). His message centers on the Great Confession and the Great Commission from the Gospels (07:48-10:35). They both were set within a sphere of inquiry (10:36-13:52), and they both were revelatory of God’s mission on earth for us to carry out (13:53-15:58). The involvement of this mission has two facets: to continue to have a renewed sense of the divine call on our lives (15:59-17:56) and to be a part of the whole movement of Jesus Christ beyond simply our local setting (17:57-19:39). Our unity is spiritual, brought about by the Holy Spirit; our freedom is to obey the leadership of the Holy Spirit; and our work is to be in harmony with other Baptists in the Holy Spirit (19:40-21:08). He ends his time in prayer (21:09-22:25).

His message focuses on that dimension of height in the practice and experience of the Christian Faith as a prerequisite for having depth or breadth in life (04:34-08:01). Three areas this height is needed in are worship (a heightened sense of who God is) (08:02-12:21), conversion (a new-birth encounter with God through Christ’s resurrection) (12:22-16:52), and the Christian life (16:53-21:00). He ends his time in prayer (21:01-21:45).

Dr. Price begins with opening formalities, and the subject of his message was about worship: “May a Mortal Lisp Thy Name!” (05:50-13:17). He begins by saying that worship of God concerns what God has done for our salvation, and that the gospel is first a narrative before it is advisatory (13:18-18:53). The remaining lecture concerns itself first with an attempt to locate the worshipping self (18:54-38:02), second with worship as knowledge only being possible in the religion of incarnation and expressed in Trinitarian Faith [skipped because of time] (38:03-39:18), and ending on studying the effects of the worship of God in the renewal of life (39:19-49:35). He ends his time in prayer (49:36-51:04), and organ music ends the service (51:05-51:35).

- The service begins in prayer (00:00-00:48), and President Stealey gives an introduction for Dr. Theron D. Price, the pastor of Wornall Road Baptist Church in Kansas City, MO (00:49-01:58). He begins with formalities toward President Stealey and an introduction into his message (01:59-07:24). His first focus in on God as Lord and as inexpressible by human language and thought (07:25-08:49), highlighting “the Word” (logos) as the best expression of God’s infinite being, action, and knowledge (08:50-18:58). He explains the threefold description of the Word as revealed (Jesus Christ), written (Holy Scripture), and preached (Church’s proclamation) (18:59-46:21). With his time remaining, he deals with humans as interpreters of the Bible, not only in its strangeness but also in a pastoral sense, with the increasing Christian unfamiliarity with the Bible (46:22-53:32).

- The service begins with prayer (00:00-02:08), and President Stealey gives an introduction for Dr. Theron D. Price, the pastor of Wornall Road Baptist Church in Kansas City, MO (02:09-05:34). Dr. Price opens with brief formalities (05:35-11:40), and the subject of his lecture was the Church’s world mission, entitled “Immortal Tidings in Your Mortal Hands” (11:41-12:56). Man, morality, and God are interpretable only from the perspective of Calvary (12:57-14:47). Two statements about the gospel must be made: there is one dominating Way which gives all of history its direction, and Jesus of Nazareth is that Way. To be “Christian” is to be “on mission,” and the Church and mission are one (14:48-27:14). What God has to say to the world is Christ in the gospel (27:15-36:02). The Church, then, is mission, and the gospel is aimed at the whole world (36:03-52:25). In conclusion, he reads a poem by Mississippi planter and poet, William Alexander Pearcey (52:26-54:25), before ending in prayer (54:26-55:20). Organ music ends the service (55:21-55:37).

- The service begins in prayer (00:00-03:06), and the speaker, R. Paul Caudill, was introduced as the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Memphis, TN, according to his educational and ministerial background (03:07-05:00). He says in this missionary address that the greatest danger that we face today is the blindness caused by materialism, and he gives examples of this from various countries (05:01-16:42). His word of hope comes from the Apostle Paul in Romans 1:14-15 (16:43-17:51). His first word has to do with acknowledgement of our debt which we owe to the world, namely, that the gospel should be proclaimed among the nations, withstanding the great price we must pay if we are to go to them (or not) (17:52-30:57). He mentions some modern missionary statistics (30:58-38:24). He closes with a challenge for his audience to actually obey Jesus’s command to “go” to the nations with the gospel (38:25-49:00), and he ends his time in prayer (49:01-51:10).
