- Description:
- William J. Fallis was Editor of Broadman Press. There is an opening prayer and speaker introduction (00:52-03:22). William Fallis begins by citing from the journals of Kierkegaard from the 1850s (04:40-06:46). He then transitions into Romans 12:1-2, proceeding to warn Christians of being led astray from following Christ by the subtle enticements of the world's standards (06:47-15:15). The values of the world will tend to creep into the church, and Fallis warns Christians against becoming too concerned with statistics and multiplying institutions, instead encouraging them toward emphasizing genuine conversion experiences and the thrust of the Gospel in missions (15:16-18:24). He ends his message with a discussion about the “ease” of being a Christian in America (18:25-20:49). He constantly exhorts Christians to remain faithful to as pure a form of Christianity as is possible, according to the Holy Spirit's work (20:50-24:36). There is a closing prayer for the end of the service (24:37-25:56).

- Description:
- An opening prayer was given after the reading of Micah 6:8 (0:07-02:20). An introduction of Dr. Wendell Randolph Grigg was given, identifying him as Secretary of the Department of Interracial Cooperation of the Baptist Convention of North Carolina; he was a pastor, denominational worker, and co-laborer for the justice of the oppressed, especially other races (03:20-04:31). The title of the address is "Race and Relative Religion" (04:43-06:29). In his message, Grigg begs three considerations of his listeners: those who bear Christ's name would resemble His character to the world practically through humility and love; Christians would cease from treating the Faith as relative and begin treating it as absolute; and those who call on God as Father resemble Him as good sons and daughters should, acting in accord with His character to others in the world (06:30-08:09). Grigg points out that the myth of the superiority of racism has permeated in society, directly opposing science, the Bible, human unity, the Spirit of the Christian Faith, and the very will of God (08:45-09:48). He exposes racism's ultimate problem as one of wrong relationship with God, since no one can be in right relationship with God yet be in wrong relationship with any person (09:49-10:12). Grigg urges his listeners to take Christ and the implications of the Gospel seriously, acting on the Gospel instead of merely agreeing with it (10:13-27:12). A benediction was given by Grigg to close the service (27:13-27:26).
