National Anthem .......... ... F. S. Key

Our stouthearted man for today is baritone Arnold Jones.
Give Me Your Tired Your Poor .. .. I. Berlin & E. Lazarus
The words of this song appear on the Statue of Liberty.
Sometimes I feel Like A Motherless Child .... Spiritual
This song of despair comes from the rich tradition of American music.

There will be a short pause for the chorus. We will be right back.
