Candlelight Service Students basked in the glow of candlelight as they sat quietly awaiting the beginning of the annual Candlelight Service. The service is a tribute by students and faculty members to the birth of the baby Jesus. The Brass Choir, headed by Mr. Dick Brown, began the Service by playing traditional Christmas Carols from the Chapel tower, as the Lambuth College Choirs gathered in the back of the Chapel to begin A Festival of Seven Les- sons and Carols Commemorating Christmas. This traditional Candlelight Service was adapted from a Service introduced at Kings College, Cambridge, Eng- land in the fourteenth century. It was traditionally a Candlelight Christmas Eve Service, using both Old and New Testaments and music to tell the gospel story, culminating in the birth of Jesus Christ. Originally, the readings were in Latin. Variations in the Service were made in the eighteenth century, with the introduction of an English Text of the Bible. In 1962, an adaptation of this original Candlelight Service was introduced on the Lambuth Campus, on the Sunday eve before the closing of school for the Christmas holidays. This inspirational Service has con- tinued uninterrupted since that time. This year, Dr. Jo Fleming directed the Lambuth Col- lege Choir and Concert Choir with Virginia Jones, Laura Schubert, and Tucker Turner as soloists. Mr. Deward Rahm accompanied the Choirs on the organ. Also add- ing tremendously to the evening was the Chapel setting, arranged by Mr. Larry Ray, Mrs. Joanna Ross, and student committees from the Campus Congregation. 16
