A fine zeitcast, a bit long and a bit masculine, but very amusing. (Though I must admit that my kids' running commentary was <em> my</em> favorite part.) Found myself wondering what the environmental impact of a cat-burning is. Now that's thought provoking. Days later…Windows Media Player can indeed handle it.

Highland Park Ward Sacrament Service

By EARL JAY GLADE, JR.

WHITE shirts and black bow ties play an important part in the sacrament system of the Highland Park Ward of Granite Stake. Dark trousers complete the boy’s costumes. This has been the customary Sunday attire of the younger Lesser Priesthood members in this ward for over four years.

The immediate reason for adopting this uniform dress was to do away with the motley array of vividly colored sweaters, seldom pressed coats, and shirt sleeves of varying degrees of color and cleanliness.

No opposition was found in introducing the plan.
The boys were consulted one Sunday. A week later eighteen of their number turned out properly attired. The ward members at once expressed their approval. Parents of sons who were not properly equipped, provided white shirts and black ties immediately.

Younger boys in the ward wait anxiously for their twelfth birthdays so they can take part in the passing of the sacrament. Many of them appear in their shirts and ties long before they are eligible for ordination. In some cases, when a boy is financially unable to get the required clothing, the ward Relief Society has cooperated.

The system of passing the sacrament in Highland Park Ward, has a number of additional features. The 18 or 20 deacons who pass are arranged according to their height around the sacrament table. Each deacon is assigned a definite section. This is done in such a way that they all finish their sections at the same time. Arriving at their positions, the deacons stand at attention until the signal is given by the supervisor. When all are through the signal is again given and the deacons return to the Sacrament table.

An important result of the white shirt-black tie system has been a noticeable increase of boys in attendance at Sunday School, and Sacrament meeting and in the number participating in the passing of the sacrament. The members of the ward have expressed themselves as being greatly impressed with the sacredness of the ordinance by the solemnity of administration.

The deacons have been encouraged by many prominent church leaders who have visited the Ward and expressed their approval of their method of conducting the sacrament service.
