A couple of days ago I ran across the program for the Minden High School baccalaureate service held May 20, 1956. Tried to figure out who of my siblings was being graduated that year; probably Ruth.
Times have certainly changed; are schools allowed to have such services now? Four ministers had places on the program and hymns were sung. The high school choir sang "Send forth thy Spirit," and "Thanks be to God."
The audience (or should I say congregation) sang "Come thou almighty King," and "Onward, Christian Soldiers." '
A program like that could get someone thrown into jail today. Radical change is not always good. Maybe, violent crime would be less if we were closer to God in our activities.
