...National Baptist Convention U.S.A., Inc. (4,500,000) and the National Baptist Convention of America (2,600,000); 3) the Southern Baptist Convention, with 8,200,000 members, which is by far the biggest and most lively Baptist group in the U.S. The Southern Baptists have broken the steady, onward-Christian-soldiers march of U.S. churches and are moving forward on the double.

For 43 years, regardless of what changing taste in church music might dictate, Mayer chose such rousing processionals as Onward, Christian Soldiers and America, the Beautiful so that his cadet choir could march in properly. He remembers all the boys who sang in the choir (including General Matthew B. Ridgway, Lieut. Generals Lyman L. Lemnitzer and Frank F. Everest) and claims he can recognize the fathers in their sons' voices...
