GUEST,Allan S. Baptist Sunday School words offensive? (105* d) RE: Baptist Sunday Sunday words offensive??? 23 Jan 02


First of all, I must thank everyone for all the help with the song. Actually, I have the IOCA Song fest. When I was in the Outing Club U-Conn 1952-7 we sang it as the Baptist Sunday School. I didn't realize it started life as the Darkie Sunday School. So the kids age 9-19 would never know that.

I have changed the chorus as follows:

Young folks, old folks, every body come
Come and join our Sunday School and have a lot of fun.
Park your chewing gum and sodas at the door.
And you will hear bible stories that you never heard before.

That minor change should make everyone happy.

Wow I remember those "High cut" boots with the pocket knife pocket. The strange thing is that children don't know how to use or much less sharpen a knife blade. In one of my art classes I was teaching on the high school level not one of the students knew how to sharpen a pencil with a knife. My grandfather gave me my first pocket knife when I was 9 years old and I have had one in my pocket for the rest of my life. They are a working tool. I can not think of one man in the building trade that does not have and use a knife. In fact, I should change that to any person who works with his hands.
Well thanks again and God bless. Allan
