- Description:
- Caralie Brown was a retired teacher and gave this address for "Missionary Day." The scripture reading came from Acts 2:37-47. In this message, Brown speaks about her experiences helping to plant a church in northwest Raleigh, NC. Her theme is that the purpose of "church planting" is not to plant a church, per se, but rather to proclaim the gospel and be a church.

- Description:
- A brief time of worship is cut out of the audio (00:00-00:08), a responsive reading of Selection 93 is read aloud (00:09-02:14), and another brief time of worship is shortened on the audio (02:15-02:52). There is no introduction for David Mein, but he was a Visiting Professor of Missions and President of North Brazil Baptist Theological Seminary. His message is about “the Holy Spirit and human experience” (02:53-03:03). He notes the present condition in the world, and especially in America, both among Christians and non-Christians, of pessimism and defeat; he concludes these spirits are present because the Holy Spirit is not real and vital in most of our lives, noting that some refer to the Holy Spirit in the neuter gender, some with emotional excesses such as in some branches of Pentecostalism, and some as mere theological topics of conversation (03:04-04:16). Dr. Mein proceeds to testify to his own experience of the reality and vitality of the Holy Spirit in his own life, first by identifying himself with the words of Paul’s own self-reflection in Romans 7 (04:17-06:41). He mentions from Ephesians 3:16 that the same Holy Spirit who puts sin to death in us also strengthens the inner man and, according to Ephesians 4:13, leads us to mature manhood, to the measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ (06:42-07:20). Through the Holy Spirit, Mein says that God’s love is poured into our hearts, according to Galatians 5:22; apart from Him, we cannot love man or God as we ought (07:21-09:26). Next, Mein says that through the Holy Spirit we come into possession of that hope which produces in us assurance, quoting both Ephesians 1:14 and Romans 15:13, among other passages of Old Testament Scripture (09:27-12:22). He ends with a concession that as we walk in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit would be both real and vital to us, that He would give us victory over our sinful natures, that He would pour God’s love into our hearts, and that He would give us the hope that produces assurance (12:23-12:51). He ends with a prayer to the Holy Spirit to kindle love in the hearts of his listeners (12:52-13:40).

- Description:
- The service opens with the reading of Habakkuk 2:20 (00:00-00:13), followed by a period of silence and instrumental music (00:14-01:31) and the mention of a time of worship from hymn #312 (01:32-01:35). An opening prayer is given (01:36-02:03), and the speaker, Frank Wood, is introduced. He was at that time a Middler student at SEBTS, having graduated from Wake Forest College in 1964 with honors in psychology and having been serving at the time of this recording as pastor of Centerville Baptist Church located in the Tar River Association near Louisburg, North Carolina; he also was serving as editor of the student newspaper, “The Inquiry” (02:04-03:16). The chapel anthem is sung (03:30-05:18). Frank Wood begins with a brief prayer (06:09-06:23) and reads the sermon text, 1 John 1:1-4 aloud before preaching through it (06:24-07:26). Wood points out that John is speaking of some cosmic truth which he has experienced with his senses and which is the basis of fellowship between humans and between God and man (7:27-12:42). Understanding the text in reverse, Wood proceeds to mention how we are without joy when we do not have or know Christ, who was from the beginning; also, we are without true fellowship with each other and with God when we do not have fellowship with Christ (12:43-17:15). He sums the text up by saying that the divine intrusion and the gospel itself is not found in words, but in the person of Christ (17:16-26:31). He closes the message with prayer (26:32-27:43).

- The service opens by the reading of Luke 4:16-20a (0:00-01:33), followed by a mention of worship to “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” but the music cuts out (01:34-02:04). An opening prayer is given (02:05-05:02). Garland A. Hendricks, the Director of Field Work, begins his message with a story from New Delhi, India in 1959 concerning the Caste system there. He describes the condition in India concerning their poverty, their Caste system, their way of living, and their economic conditions, affirming that “India is a democracy growing up” (05:03-11:01). He then transitions to the year 1960 in New Delhi, as democracy was making progress in India and arising problems were evidence of growth and development there (11:02-12:40). He then transitions to the year 1965 (the current year) in North Carolina at SEBTS, recording that Christians face problems even here, where hunger, starvation, and warfare are not every-day concerns (12:41-14:51). He requests of God that He would use SEBTS as a center to spread the gospel across the world as His people there continue to abide in Jesus Christ (14:52-18:07). Hendricks then offers a closing prayer, asking for sustaining grace to the people of God for the work ahead of them (18:08-18:27).
