00:00:20.569 - 00:02:12.559

In our first election, the soloist will be Marylou Chapman and Jeff Taylor accompanied by Mr John Durbin on guitar. The soloist for the second selection will again be Mr Taylor. Have a smile. Nicely evil. Yeah. Mm And I Yeah. Mhm

00:03:04.070 - 00:04:18.769

You OK. I'll walk with God heard for on this day off and he's helping us and I lean more. This is my, in my humble may. Oh dear her with, there is no doubt. Our eyes grow dear.

00:04:20.320 - 00:05:20.089

Mhm. There is no fear when I'm near to here. Yeah, I a on here him the and he for a Yeah, do not. They will be as long as my faith is strong on what I may walk, I'll walk with God and I'll hold his hand

00:05:20.989 - 00:14:37.590

and I'll talk with God, but he understands and I he needs to. So again, you'll hear the word heard th and he every and I what while I was, ladies and gentlemen, we are attempting to remedy a deficiency in the sound

00:14:37.599 - 00:14:53.599

level. We think that some of you haven't been able to hear and we are hoping that the engineers can give us a bit more gain on the microphones that are installed. And now as we have come to, isn't that amazing how we're listening now to see

00:14:53.609 - 00:15:21.710

if it's effective? Well, I think it's going to work, especially if we remain as quiet as we are now. May I present Mr Pat Boone? Thank you, Bill. Um This reminds me of the time I auditioned for a, a television station in Dallas W FAA and

00:15:21.719 - 00:15:35.659

uh they needed a singer. I was a college student at North Texas State and I knew they needed a singer and I had some experience back there in Tennessee. So I thought maybe I had a, the inside track. But, uh, after I had sung a couple

00:15:35.669 - 00:15:48.200

of songs, they said, well, don't call us, we'll call you. And I said, what's wrong? And they said, well, you sing too soft and I tried to tell them I could sing louder, but they said no. And so I didn't get the job. But, uh, tonight

00:15:48.210 - 00:16:06.609

I'm gonna sing as loud as I can and I hope maybe there'll be a job in it someplace with the, uh, Pepperdine College chorus, two songs that have been especially meaningful to them and, and they are especially appropriate tonight because this evening is a milestone, not

00:16:06.619 - 00:16:22.250

just in education, but in a special kind of education. Christian education. And I, I can't help but get a goose bumpy feeling when I think about the way the school has grown and what really amounts to a fairly short time. And I think the very thing

00:16:22.260 - 00:16:57.500

that makes education at Pepperdine different, its dependence, its emphasis upon our creator must be the very reason that we're here tonight. And uh such a splendid gathering is this. And so we wanna dedicate this song, especially to our God. A mighty fortress. Oh, 400. Oh God.

00:17:06.838 - 00:18:12.119

Yeah, a more. All is free shall we for still ancient foe? Doth seek to work as war. Oh His craft and power are great and armed with. Well, a is not easy. He was oh oh I OK. Yeah. All of a sudden but for

00:18:12.130 - 00:19:02.670

still our ancient foe, Doth seek to work us. His craft and power are great and armed with. I hate is not easy. Equal and all this word with the minds, still joy to us. We will not fear for God. Hath will tell truth to try all

00:19:02.969 - 00:19:58.599

through was the prince of darkness. We tremble, not his rage. We can for long. He do me sure what all were child fed. And now I saw of a different type but, but the same kind of theme this particularly, I think a favorite song of people

00:19:58.609 - 00:20:22.800

who have known Pepperdine through the years. I think a favorite song of George Pepperdine himself and also of mine in a world where people feel somehow estranged from God. Many people in fact say he's dead. Those who believe that God still lives somehow feel that he's

00:20:22.810 - 00:21:09.170

here. He's there somewhere but that he doesn't know who we are. But this song proclaims it differently. My God and I my God and I go through the field to, we walk and talk as good friends should. And do we class far? Our voices ring with

00:21:09.180 - 00:22:30.670

light, my God and all walk through the man knows you. We class far and our voices mean my God and walk. Oh You mean when all was I dream of them to come to earth's word and glory? See my God. And we go for a two,

00:22:33.130 - 00:26:24.209

we'll walk and talk and your friends ever drew, this earth will pass and with it come and what God and well one ending this earth will pass. Harman's right. My God was. Mhm And can't so sweet and on so

00:29:09.280 - 00:36:16.899

ok. Oh To why I the bus. So hey and she is right. That's our. No. So

00:36:17.090 - 00:36:38.040

we get thank you very much, Mr Rayner, Mr Hatch chorus orchestra and Mr Boone. Now the format for the D day invasion consumed 14 pages. I have 16 pages of instructions on what to do for this meeting. I won't do all of the things, but I

00:36:38.050 - 00:36:53.179

will do one thing, use small words. Uh One of the things that we have to do is to get this group off the stage here and over to the Beverly Hilton where 1200 people are waiting their arrival. Uh So we think that we have a marvelous

00:36:53.189 - 00:36:59.310

crowd, 3200 people all together for this meeting tonight record.
