A cup of cold water only.—Matthnv 10:42

THE GREATNESS OF LITTLE THINGS

In the trivial round and common task of everydayexistence there are countless opportunities for,becoming Christlike. The look of sympathy, theword of encouragement, the little nameless un-remembered acts of love and tenderness, theseare the best Indications that the vision of Christhas been seen. The great deed, done perhaps Ina moment of enthusiasm. Is as nothing comparedwith the patient, thankless endurance of the rubsand worries of a teasing household. Just as theclay and sand, which we so carelessly tread underfoot, are the materials that build up the sapphireand the opal, so out of the rags and tatters ofdally life we make the moral fibre which we callcharacter. There Is no mistake more fatal than todespise the day of small things. Mathematiciansspeak of Infinitesimals, quantities so small as tobe Insignificant for all practical purposes. But Inthe mathematics of character there are no infinitesimals. The most trivial act Is a step downtowards zero or a step up towards Infinity.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Of Interest To All—Is the forthcomingNational Triennial Convention of The

Daughters of the King, scheduled to meetin Cleveland, Ohio at Trinity Cathedral,from September 27 through the morning ofOctober 1, 1955. Meeting in convention isan anticipated joy we trust many are lookingforward to. Our membership is constantlygrowing, and the attendance at conventionshould keep pace with that increase. Wewish it were possible to have our wholemembership attend a convention. There theycould experience the enthusiasm and inspiration which a report can only partiallyconvey. The potential importance of a Triennial gathering of the Daughters of theKing of the Church can hardly be overstated. It is a climax of the p>ast trienniumand the beginning of work for the comingtriennium. Those attending cannot fail toprofit by the full and interesting programwhich has been so carefully thought out. Aprogram designed to deepen the religious lifeof the individual woman, and bring newvisions of opportunities for growth in theChristian life to everyone present. Outstanding clergy have graciously accepted our invitation to participate as speakers. All shouldfeel a peculiar interest in being present, forthe convention will also be the happy occasion of the national observance of the 70th

anniversary of the founding of the Order.Will you not make an earnest effort to bepresent to help make this occasion one to beremembered? One that will stand out in the

mind of every member as the most helpfuland inspirational in the history of the Order.Of First Importance—Prepare for conven

tion by'using the prayer written especiallyfor us by our Presiding Bishop, The Rt. Rev.Henry K. Sherrill, D.D.; use it at meetingsand daily in your private devotions.

Almighty and Everlasting God, our heavenly Father, who answereth the prayers ofall those who call faithfully upon Thee,we ask thy blessing upon the Conventionof The Daughters of the King. Inspireofficers and members with true knowledgeof Thy will. Endow them with the spiritof consecration. Grant them the vision ofThyself, that in all things they may glorifyThy Holy Name and hasten the coming

of Thy Kingdom, through Jesus Christour Lord. Amen.

Secondly—It is of paramount importancethat Diocesan Assemblies give seriousthought to the selection of a candidate formembership on the National Council of theOrder. Your choice of a nominee should bea Daughter who knows the Church and theOrder. One who has the capacity for consecrated self-giving leadership and appreciation for points of view different from herown. One who is deeply concerned in promoting the effectiveness of the Daughters inparish and diocese and, who is willing toattend the annual meeting of the Councilheld each year during a triennium. Thirdly—Do not delay in returning Delegate cardsproperly filled in to our national office. Extensive preparations are going forward underthe capable chairmanship of Mrs. Jack M.Beggs. To know well in advance the approximate number to expect will be of greatassistance to the Cleveland Committee in itsarduous task of making adequate arrangements.

Report of Our Representativeon the National Board of

Woman's AuxiliaryIt has been a great privilege and pleasure

to represent the Order of The Daughters ofthe King on the National Board of theWoman's Auxiliary for the past three years.All Board Meetings were attended and ateach a report, compiled from informationsubmitted by our president, Miss Soper andby our office secretary. Miss Rennie, wasread. Copies of these reports were given toeach member and staff officers also; eachmember received the Royal Cross.There are three members of our Order on

the Board, the two others being Mrs. Hannah of New York and Mrs. Walters of SanJoachin. Mrs. Walters was the Chairman ofthe Board; both are very interested in theOrder.

It has been my privilege to lead theService of Preparation for the Service of HolyCommunion and Morning Prayer at two ofthe Board Meetings. For this year I havebeen asked to be chairman of "Grace beforemeals" at Seabury House. As a member ofthe United Thank Offering Committee it wasindeed a thrill to know that the amount ofthe offering to be presented at the Triennialat Honolulu, as of December 31, 1954, is$2,198,236.95. This is an increase of $419,-072.32 over the amount of December 31,1951. The Program for the Service of theUnited Thank Offering for the Triennial hasbeen planned.How interesting it is to sit in on the dis

cussions of the requests for grants, anotherfunction of the Scholarship Committee. Itis gratifying to report that Windham Househas been given a grant to take care of a portion of the expenses of those who attend.This present grant makes comparable theallowable expense to those at St. Margaret'sat Berkeley, California.The Personal Committee, of which I was

a member, selects proper applicants for theopenings in Windham House and St. Margaret's. This committee has also been studying a revised plan for lay appointees and aspecial Summer Training School at Windham House.

The Christian Social Relations Committee under the staff officer. Miss DorothyStabler, has put out the following pamphlets:This Is Our Business; International Friendship; and Christian Living in Our Community. Miss Stabler also urged the promotion of a late pamphlet on Segregation, "Just,

Right and Necessary." This is a study of reactions to the Supreme Court decision onsegregation, with a statement of guidingprinciples, policies and practical suggestions.

Miss Harvey, staff officer for ChristianEducation, presented various materials andlisting of publications as an introduction tothe program planning for 1955-1956. She iseditor of Churchways—a publication for theWomen of the Church.

The other cooperating Agencies on theBoard are: the Girl Friendly Society; theChurch Periodical Club; and the EpiscopalService for Youth. The representative ofeach gives a written report on their respectivework. In this way a report is submitted onthe activities of all who cooperate with theWoman's Auxiliary.

At the last meeting of the Board in February, Mrs. Goss, the Diocesan President ofthe Missionary District of Honolulu, waspresent, and gave us an outline of the Triennial to be held in Honolulu. She suggested the clothes that should be worn onthe Island and explained what the people ofHonolulu were planning for the Delegates.The triennial is to be held at lolanui School

and Missionary Pilgrimages have beenplanned to all the Missions on the Island.

Bishop and Mrs. Sherrill are alwaysguests of the Board. The Bishop tells us ofthe State of the Church. Recently it wasnice to hear about his trip to the Orient.Mrs. Sherrill continued with her discussion

of the women of the Orient.

The theme for the Triennium is, "HisWitnessing Community." It is hoped fromthis Triennial will come groups of womendedicated to taking into every mission andparish of the Church, a program of ChristianEducation, a Redemptive Fellowship of theChurch.

From the Editor's Note Book

As I looked over the copy that goes intoour June issue, I got a bird's eye view of thecoming Convention.How fortunate those members are who will

attend!

For months preparations and plans havebeen in the making, and I know that you willagree with me that the 1955 Convention willbe a great success.The inspiration that the members who at

tend and will take back to their parishesshould be outstanding.

I would draw your attention to the picturesin this issue—Groups of your people, youngmarried people, and our very dear oldermembers, who by their devotion and loyaltyhave faithfully kept their vows of Prayerand Service.

There are hundreds of our members who

have never attended a Convention, but I cansee them all carrying out their duties "in allgodly quietness."The article entitled "Greatness of Little

Things" on our inside cover seemed to metypical of the work our members do.

Let us remember and recite our motto withrenewed dedication—

I am but one: but I am one.I cannot do everything: but I can dosomethingWhat I can do, I ought to do.What I ought to do, by the grace ofGod, I will do.Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?

CANDLES

Tall irises reflect the glowing dawnIn iridescent light. Slim buds rebornSince yesterday enslave each sense anewWith beauty, wrought in tapestry of blue.Incense in clouds veils Gothic arches, highIn dim cathedrals flung against the sky:But subtler far the perfume damp and coolFrom iris censers swinging by my pool.Wide-branched like sacred candles, seven

fold.That gleam on alien altars, dark and old.Yet formed of living green, frail stems en

twine:

Through alchemy, the garden is a shrine!Each spring miraculously I find them there,God's candles made to light men's souls to

prayer.Dorothy Luke

"Somebody said that it couldn't be done,But he with a chuckle replied

That "maybe it couldn't—but he would beone

Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.So he buckled right in, with a trace of a grinOn his face—if he worried, he hid it.

He started to sing as he tackled the thingThat couldn't be done—and he did it!"

THE CRITIC

A little seed lay on the groundAnd soon began to sprout.

"Now which of all the flowers around,"It mused, "shall I come out?

The lily's face is fair and proud,Btct just a trifle cold;

The rose, 1 think, is rather loud,And then its fashion's old.

The violet is all very well,But not a flower I'd choose;

Nor yet the Canterbury bell—I never cared for blues."

And so it criticized each flower,This supercilious seed,

Until it woke one summer hour,And found itself — a weed!

Daughters of the King--Houston, Texas Reporting

The Thirty-Fifth Annual Council of theDaughters of the King was held at St. Johnthe Divine, Houston, Texas, Thursday,January 20, 1955, with all of St. John'sParish acting as hosts.

The Council opened at 10:30 A.M. withHoly Communion administered by the Rev.Thomas W. Summers and the Associate

Rector, Rev. Alfred W. Jaris.

Following the Service of Communion, our"newest baby," St. Christophers, SpringBranch, was admitted as a Chapter to theOrder of the Daughters of the King. It waslike being admitted all over again oneself.Then we "old" Daughters took our Renewalof Vows. St. Christopher's own Deacon hadthe Admission Service.

Our Meditation for the morning wasgiven by Rev. T. Robert Ingram. Excerptsfrom his Meditation follow:

Again we had a distasteful word brought to ourattention—Obedience. Christianity teaches obedience. It is stated in the Prayer Book that "Christhath made us free," but, freedom comes fromobedience to God and the service of Christ, which

implies obedience. Responsibility is given to one andthey must obey to fulfill it. There is no point in theNew Testament where it mentions dropping obedience. Obedience is not Laws or Rules; but more

of a spirit or attitude toward life, which we mustapply to all we meet in life. There are but twoalternatives—you Obey in either case, God or theHeroic Rebel. The obeying applies everlastingly.It is the hard way, forcing issues; but hear God'swill and OBEY it.

Roll call was taken by Chapters. Thirteenout of eighteen answered with 109 present.There were more of us at the service and

luncheon, but pressing duties, such as babies,called.

St. Christophers was given a rousingwelcome and they in turn came bearing a giftfor the Trinity Self-Denial. They areDaughters, for sure!

Janie Schadt, past Sec.

The Diocesan Assembly of theDaughters of the King—Diocese

of MichiganWith the Rt. Rev. Archie H. Crowley

and Mrs. Crowley as guests, the Daughtersof the King in the Diocese of Michigan heldtheir Winter Assembly in the Parish Houseof St. Columba's Church, Detroit, on January12, 1955. This was the first time that manyof the 65 persons present had had an opportunity to meet Bishop and Mrs. Crowley sincehis recent election as Suffragan Bishop ofMichigan. In his interesting after-dinnerdiscourse, lie acquainted us with the dutiesof his office and the scope of activities of thevarious departments in the diocesan executiveorganization.

The Daughters of the King in the dioceseof Michigan are fortunate in being able tohold three Diocesan Assemblies each year—one in each season of the calendar year exceptduring the summer. At the winter meeting,annual reports are given by the presidents ofthe four chapters comprising the Assembly.Reading of these progress reports on theprayer and service projects of the variouschapters is eagerly anticipated, as they arealways interesting and often stimulating. Thechapters feel that one of the greatest valuesof the Diocesan Assemblies, aside from the

pleasure of the fellowship, lies in the opportunity to hear what others are doing to fulfill their obligations of membership in theOrder. Perhaps a brief resume of our service-to-the parish projects might contain the germof an idea for readers of The Royal Cross,even though many of the details are repeatedin all of the chapter reports; but they areimportant nonetheless, covering as they dounnumbered personal contacts in behalf ofthe Church and the clergy. Many of thepeople contacted are new members, the newlyconfirmed, sick and shut-in persons, and bereaved families. Many of the contacts aremade through personal visits to homes andhospitals, numerous telephone calls aremade, and many birthdays greetings, convalescent and seasonal greeting cards are mailed,along with Forward Day by Day booklets insome cases. The flowers from the altars are

delivered after services each Sunday to thesick and shut-ins.

Prayer Without Action is EitherHypocrisy or Laziness

By George M. BogueExecutive Committee Member

of Pittsburgh, Pa.

I am convinced that the habit of relyingon God for help, and occasional periods ofsilence and contemplation during the business day, make it possible for one to tacklemountains of work with assurance and decisiveness.

I am equally convinced that if men willonly take their personal and business problems to God humbly, and listen to Himreceptively, their confusion and pessimismwill give way to optimism, and this will leadthem to the achievement of their dreams.

Faith in God gives men faith in themselvesand their future. And that kind of faith re

sults in the traditional tough-minded optimism which founded our country and is thehope of its future.

Let us also remember these are very criticaldays in which we are living. We are grownmen and women—We have families that we

love and we have in this country a freedomwhich marks us as being different from therest of the world.

However, this freedom of ours is beingseriously threatened by Communism. If ourfreedom is to be preserved I am convincedit can only be done if we listen to God'sguidance.We need men and women who are will

ing and anxious to witness for God. Prayersand Witnessing are the only two practicesthat the Communists are afraid of.

But you say, "How does this affect me?""I am just one individual." "What can I, asan ordinary individual, do to help stop Communism?"

Let's see how the Communist works.

"The Communist is willing to acceptsacrifice and death in a passionate loyalty tohis 'theology.' Communism has maintainedthe primacy of evangelism in its 'missionary' thrust. One Communist young womanconverted 250 of her fellow college studentsto her belief. Where we distributed 25,000,-000 Bibles in one area of Europe, Communists sent out 90,000,000 copies of one oftheir leading documents. Communism to alarge extent has united belief with practice,and its adherents are seeking to implementtheir total world view with the social changesthat it involves; whereas, Christianity hasbeen weakest in its reluctance to unite its

ethics with its theology, in its unwillingnessto become involved deeply in the social,political and ethical life of the contemporaryworld."

If such enthusiasm and witnessing workssuccessfully for a bad cause, why shouldn'tit work even more successfully for a goodcause? I am convinced that when millionsof people like you and me rise up in ourrighteous wrath, and pray and work for achange, that is guided and directed by God,that change will occur.

God's guidance can only be obtainedwhen we not only turn to Him in Prayer,but when we also listen for His answer. Wemust let Him tell us His will rather than attempting to tell Him what we wish Him todo. Only when we acquire the habit ofbringing Him continually into our daily lifecan effective results and true happiness beobtained. We must be willing to accept Hiswill. After all, isn't that why we turn toHim? Surely we should mean it when we say"Thy will, not mine, be done."

We must also remember that Prayer without action is either hypocrisy or laziness—So when we get our answer let's see that webecome a hard hitting witness for God theFather—God the Son and God the HolyGhost.

A PRAYER FOR VACATION

Loving Father, who didst make this earthso fair. Open our eyes to see its wondersand our hearts to feel its beauty. In our daysof refreshment and recreation draw us nearer

to Thee through the things which Thou hasmade. May the joy of Thy sunshine, thequiet of Thy forests, the murmur of Thystreams and the steadfast strength of Thineeverlasting hills teach us the deep secret ofThy Peace. Calm our fretful spirits. Deepenthe current of our shallow lives. Renew in us

faith, that we may know ourselves to besafely held in Thy strong hands, and mayjoyfully conform our lives to Thy great purposes and so go back to the world and itsduties, stronger, simpler, sweeter; and maythen become more worthy messengers of ourLord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

A Welcome Letter

Phoenix, ArizonaMarch 27, 1955

Mrs. Thomas J. Shannon,Editor "The Royal Cross"Pine Orchard, Conn.

Dear Mrs. Shannon:

Here is a story that 1 think will interestyour readers:

In the year 1897, when Trinity Parish,Phoenix, which was the pre-cursor of ourpresent Trinity Cathedral, was occupying asmall brick church building, in the center ofthe business section of the town, a Chapterof 'The Daughters of the King' was organized. The Rt. Rev. J. M. Kendrick was theBishop of the Missionary District of Arizona,and he, or perhaps his wife and daughter,were responsible for this new organization.

Just how many members there were, I donot know, for only one is living. But theChapter flourished and did much good workfor the Church for a number of years.Whether there were any other Chapters inthe District I also do not know. However,the Rev. Dr. Atwood, the Rector of theParish, soon succeeded Bishop Kendrick asBishop of Arizona, and in his time The Girls'Friendly Society started and became veryprominent all through the District. This was,of course, a very excellent Society, but ittended to put to one side the "Daughters";and yet Trinity Chapter held its own, even ifit didn't grow very fast.

Well, the "G.F.S." had its day and accomplished many good things, but even thatSociety after awhile 'folded its tents', andsuch organizations as the "Y.P.F." came intoexistence and is today flourishing. However,the Chapter of the "Daughters" still existsand has its monthly meetings and its Quarterly Corporate Communions. Its membershipis small and nearly all its members are inadvancing years, although there are a fewwho are much younger. The one originalmember, Mrs. W. J. Criswell, is well alongin her nineties, and is living in Glendale,nine miles from Phoenix. Her health is del

icate, at least, but two of the young members also live in Glendale and bring her tothe meetings, whenever she can come, intheir cars. Another of our members of whomwe are very proud, who had joined theChapter shortly after its organization, is Mrs.George Vickers, and she is ONE HUNDRED AND THREE years old!! She lives

very near the Cathedral and is in pretty goodhealth, but comes in a wheel chair.

As it happens, I am the Chaplain, for Ifeel qualified for the position, being myselfway up in the eighties. For over forty yearsI had been Archdeacon of the District, andafter my official retirement, several years ago,I was allowed to become Chaplain of the"Daughters."

Now I am taking the liberty of sendingyou a copy of a picture that was taken of thegroup at our February meeting, thinking thatperhaps you would like to use it in "TheRoyal Cross." Not all the members werewere present, some being "indisposed" andone or two away from town.

Several of the members take, and read withinterest, "The Royal Cross."

Do You Know—

The Book of Psalms, which is complete inour Prayer Book, dates back to 2,000 B.C.

The first service in English, using thePrayer Book was held in 1579 by the chaplainof Sr. Francis Drake's ship, the "GoldenHinde" in San Francisco Bay.

There has been a great deal of controversyover the two forms of the Lord's Prayer incommon use. Generally we use the longform, found in Morning and Evening Prayer,but the short form is also found in ourPrayer Book, Holy Communion Service page67, and Litany page 58. This short form isprobably the original but the Bible containsboth. Matt. 6:9, Luke 11:2. It is believed byscholars that the ending "for thine is etc."was added as the Bible was copied by handbefore the development of the printing press.

The first Prayer Book of the ProtestantEpiscopal Church dates from 1789.

■ a ■

On page 594 in the Prayer Book there isa good prayer to be used on entering Church.

It is the custom in our church to stand for

Praise; kneel to talk to God in prayer; sit toreceive instruction.

Serve the Stranger in YourMidst

Have you ever moved to a neiu community,knowing no one, feeling utterly lonely? Itcan be a dark day, indeed. Or, have you everbeen stranded in a strange community on aiveekend? There is nothing very upliftingabout the four walls of a hotel room or atable for one in the corner of the hotel diningroom. Or again, remember some of thosehomesick weekends at school or college whena touch of home life would have lifted thepall of loneliness?

What can you do to help make your parishthe kind of parish that seeks to serve thestranger in your midst?1. Develop the art of greeting people,parishioners and strangers alike, before andafter services. Only a grouch resents friendliness. Most people are hungry for it.2. If you "have your own pew," invitestrangers to sit in it and urge the ushers todirect strangers to it.3. Help strangers follow the service inThe Prayer Book. This may prove to be thebest public relations endeavor you can undertake.4. Try tactifully to discover a stranger'sname and address. If he is new to theparish:

Call upon him immediately, before thenext day has passed.

Give his name and address to the rector.Ask other lay people to call.

5. Be on the alert for new families moving into your neighborhood. Contact themimmediately. Welcome them to the community in the name of the Christian Church.If they have a Church affiliation, notify thatChurch of their presence. If they have none,you know what to do.6. Does your parish have a coffee hour afterthe morning service? For visitors and members alike, such an undertaking is wortheverything you put into it.7. Don't limit your greeting to your ownparish. Carry your friendliness with you.When you are in a church in another community, speak to people and introduce yourself. In greeting the rector, tell him yourname, your parish, and your community. Youmay have more in common than you imagine.8. Make it possible for strangers to meetother Church people. Invite them to yourhome. Take them to church services or meetings of church organizations. Introduce themand demonstrate your interest in them. Werefer to the Christian Church as a fellowship. Let's make it a fact.9. In city parishes, members living in thesame neighborhood may not know one another. Neighborhood parties can break downthis lack of fellowship. A party in your hometo which several of the parish "strangers"are invited will do wonders and createfriendships. Oh, yes, invite the rector andhis wife to attend.

THE JUNIOR MESSENGERMiss Grace Brisbane, Editor, 2124 W. Michigan Ave., Kalamazoo 59, Michigan.

Dear Girls,There is just one little thought that I

would like to bring to your attention. I believe that it is something that you will findvery worthwhile to keep recalling to yourselfas you go on in life. It is not much but ithas impressed me a great deal.

I believe that nearly all of you have heardsomebody use this expression at sometime,"That is nearly enough to make me lose allof my religion!" Generally it is at a timewhen things have gone wrong constantly orpeople have had to face some big problem.I don't know why it is but every time I hearit, I am tempted to reply, "One can not losewhat she doesn't have."

It just seems to me that if it is real religion that you have and not just a thin coating of it, that it will take you through anycrisis big or small. That if your Christianreligion is real and a definite part of you,something that you make use of day in andday out, something that grows along withyou, there is absolutely no situation big orsmall that will enter your life in which yourreligion will not be able to help you meet,if you will but use it.

CONVENTION PLANSWe hope that all of you girls are aware of

the fact that our Order has their Triennial

Convention this fall in Cleveland, Ohio.This is not at all far away and the date willbe here before we know it. Remember thatthis Convention is not just for the SeniorDivision but also includes the Junior Divisionof which you are a member.At the time of this Convention delegates

will be present from all of the chapters andDiocesan Assemblies of the Senior Division,and they will elect the new Council membersof the Order among other business. One ofthese Council members will be appointedlater by the President to be your new NationalDirectress of the Junior Division. EachChapter (Senior) has a chance to nominatemembers for the Council, so if you have aparticularly outstanding and fine directress

or know a senior Daughter who works wellwith girls, let your Senior Chapter have hername. There is no guarantee that she willbe appointed to that position even thoughelected to the Council, but it at least puts herin a position to be so appointed. And therecertainly is no harm in letting others knowof her ability along those lines, if she iselected to the Council.

The business is not the only thing that isdone at these Conventions, but both theSenior and Junior Divisions have a plannedprogram designed to help members of theOrder in their work in their Chapters. It ishard to crowd everything that we would likeinto these few short days but those in chargetry to do the best possible job,

NOMINATIONS FOR YOUTHREPRESENTATIVE

We had a lively response to our call fornomination of girls to be suggested as thenew Youth Representative on the NationalYouth Commission. This makes us veryhappy indeed to see the chapters taking areal, active part when they are given the opportunity. The names came from varioussections of this country and from outside too,and it is very encouraging and pleasant toread about the fine girls we have in manychapters. It will be a hard task to decide between so many fine prospects but the committee will do its very best, and let the onechosen know within a few weeks. The girlthey select will still have to be accepted bythe incoming Council this fall.

MORE NEW CHAPTERSWe want to welcome our new chapters

and members, and wish them our very bestin the work for our Master.

Two little girls were discussing theirgrandmothers. One turning to the otherenquired, "Why is it that your grandmotherreads the Bible so much.'" After a pausethe other replied . . . "Oh I expect she'scramming for her finals!"

A WISE CHRISTIAN IS PREPARED

"Be Prepared." "I sure never thought ofthat as a good slogan for a Christian," remarked Jean on her way home from herChapter meeting. "Neither did I," Betty replied thoughtfully. "But you do have toadmit that it makes sense as we discussed ittonight." "Yes, it really makes more sensein connection with Christianity than it doeswith scouting." "Well, now I don't knowabout that," said Betty, "Just what do youhave in mind?" "Oh, I was just thinkingthat in scouting you're prepared for whatever might happen. But in connection withyour Christian life it is being prepared forsomething that we know will happen." "Youknow in regard to the Judgement that will begiven to us."

"Yes, I can see what you mean now. Because we decided tonight that even thoughwe do not know when Christ will come againto pronounce our final judgment, we do knowfrom the Bible that sometime He will comeagain for sure and then He will judge eachperson." "That's it," added Jean, "but whatwas that word Miss Boyd used instead of'Coming?' You know it was also the name ofone of the Church Seasons." "I can remember

that from last year's Church School and myLatin," remarked Betty. "It was the firstseason of the Christian Year, Advent, whichcomes just before Christmas, which wasChrist's first coming to earth." "Betty, youare right on the ball tonight. I don't thinkyou missed anything in the discussion tonight."

"Maybe because it was a subject that Ihave often thought about. You know in connection with dying, and it has always kindof frightened me. But tonight sure put memore at ease about it." "I don't knowwhether I am at ease over it or not," Jeanremarked. "You know when we got to discussing what Christ will judge us for andlooked up those passages in I Corinthians 4and 5, St. Matthew 12, 36, and 37, and 25,42 and 43, and Revelation 20, 12 and 13.Maybe it makes me stop to think again because I know that I always seem to leave undone so much I should do, and do so muchthat I shouldn't." "Spoken like a true Episcopalian," replied Betty. "Tell me thoughhow did you remember all of those passagesyou just mentioned?" "I thought that wouldimpress you but to tell you the truth, I wasreading them off this cover of my book whereI had jotted them down," answered Jean.

"'But what was that passage about theSheep and the Goats. I don't recall hearingthat one before." "I don't know," answeredJean, "except that it was in one of the Gospels. I am afraid that an awful lot of . us aregoing to be numbered with the Goats, but asMiss Boyd said, we, at least, know that it willbe a righteous judging of us without anyfavorites being played because even thoughChrist will have the fullest sympathy for allof us, He will still judge us very justly according to what we have and haven't done."

"This sure is a morbid subject, don't youthink?," asked Betty. "Maybe in a way,"Jean thoughtfully replied. "But you know itis good to discuss it and think about it. Youremember what we found out about our bod

ily works coming to an end at our death.That's when I began to think about thatservice where we have a prayer asking to bedelivered from sudden death. You know, itwas in one of those services in the PrayerBook that we always have on Ash "Wednesday."

"You know I once heard one of the in

structors at the summer Conference say thatwe should all Jive every single day just asif it were our last day to live. Now I knowthat He meant we should try to live everyday just as close to God as possible becausewe never know when we will die, and weought to always try to be ready." "Particularly in these times when we never quite knowwhat will happen from one minute to thenext."

"We have been talking such a blue streakthat I didn't realize that we were right hereat our homes," remarked Jean surprised. "Itcertainly is nice that we live right next toeach other. So long." "Goodbye, I'll callyou in the morning," replied Betty as sheclosed the front door.

1. Who is it who will come to be our judge?

2. Who is it that our Creed tells us He will

judge?

3- For what will we be judged? (Look uppassages mentioned in third paragraph.)

4. What is the story of the Sheep and theGoats, and where in the Gospels is itfound?

5. In what service used particularly on AshWednesday do we find the prayer askingto be delivered from sudden death?

6. For what should a good Christian alwaysbe prepared?
