Description

• The service begins with the reading of a poem about God (00:00-00:49) and prayer (00:50-05:10). There was no introduction for the speaker, Thelma Arnote, but she was Professor of Religious Education and Director of the Child Care Center. She begins by speaking about the Battle Hymn of the Republic, then leading the congregation to sing it aloud from Hymn #488. The audio is removed, but the opening tune of the hymn is audible (05:11-06:49). She begins by speaking of the tendency at certain times of the year to be caught up in good works and concern (06:50-08:09). She then transitions to reading an excerpt on the topic of concern from Norman Cousins, the editor of the Saturday Review of Literature (08:10-11:45). With her closing words, she shares that the good works of men act as buffers against all kinds of evils in the world (11:46-13:00). The service ends with music and singing (13:01-18:32).
