THE PEACE OF GOD

Peace is not outward quiet.

It is the withdrawal of the soul, into thestill place where God is.

While the body walks city streets, pressedby the crowd, or bends to the daily task,while the eye is filled with changingscenes and the ear with the noise of

earth, alike in the thronged places of theworld or in the desert waste, thatwithdrawal may take place.

Our souls can go apart and talk withGod.

From that still place, the soul at peacewith Him takes command of mind and

body, directing them according to Hiswill.

And the crowding and the noise, thestress and strain of care and labor are as

naught to the body so commanded.

Peace pre\ails, and our lives are buoyantwith a sense of unity with God.

O God, amidst the rush and hurry of life,help us to keep this quiet place for Thee.

And let its holy calm so pervade our days,that ive may go untroubled and unafraid,filled ivith Thy peace ''which passethunderstanding."

OUR ORDER WHEREVER IT MAY BE

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Evidence keeps bobbing up to showthat quite a number ol Daughtersthroughout the Order are uninformed asto the real purpose of the Order—they donot fully understand its objectives andIdeals. Many reasons could account forthis condition, the principal one nodoubt is lack of thorough instructionsduring the probation period. Or in someinstances having gone through a carefulcourse of instructions they have failed tokeep themselves well informed by readingThe Royal Cross, and even more important, by re-reading regularly the DaughtersHandbook, which to quote one faithfuland energetic proN'incial officer, "weshould know from covei" to cover andskipping about."From the problems of all sorts, and

from the questions of interest which cometo my desk, members have evinced adesire for more knowledge regarding ourOi'der. Therefore with the thought inmind of making this page helpful in everyway possible I will from time to timenot only give you news of particular interest to all but I will discuss and deal withsome problems and questions about whichall of us must be concerned.

First and foremost among the needsof the Order is an informed leadershipand membership. The ideal chapter isthe one in which each one—members andofficers alike—is completely informed onall mattere pertaining to the work andideals of the Order. When a chapter iswell informed you will find it taking partin all departments of the work, and doingits part in proportion to its numbers andopportunities. On the other hand anuninformed chapter, one that has alloweditself—though unconsciously—to remainor slip back into a state of contentedignorance—distressing as it is to acknowledge—remains a gap and a drawback toany eflbrts the rest of the membershipmakes toward accomplishing the purposefor which we are banded together.

Membership in the Order calls us toreal discipleship of Christ, therefore wehave a responsibility and obligation toKNOW our Order. It is a pleasurableexperience to be able to say, "I KNOW."To know is to gain a new enthusiasm. Toknow makes us ever conscious of an urgewithin us to achieve that to which weare committed.

The efforts of the Daughters of the8th Province to further the cause of theOrder through the written word arc highlycommendable. In addition to their twomonthly publications, namely, "TheAngel's Wing" In the Diocese of LosAngeles, which endeavors through inspirational articles, news from chapters and aseries of intercessions, to carry a messageof "togetherness" to their members; "TheNews Sheet" in the Diocese of California,which gives constructive information, andworthwhile instructions on' religioussubjects, their Provincial President hasissued a quarterly "News Letter" in thehope of drawing this widely scatteredprovince into a closer unity.From the new President of the 7th

Province, another widely scattered province, comes the good news, that duringher term of office her aim will be "aninformed province and a shared fellowship." Knowing the value of personalcontacts she has started her program byvisits to chapters and dioceses.Nothing gives greater pleasure than to

learn of new chapters. It is a real joy towelcome into the fellowship of the Orderthe five newly organized Senior Chapters.They are of St. James Church, Lewistown,Diocese of Montana; St. John's Church,St. Louis, Diocese of Missouri; St. Patrick'sChurch, West Palm Beach, Diocese of So.Florida: St. Andrew's Church, Evanston,and The Church of Our Saviour, Elm-hurst, both in Illinois, Dioccsc of Chicago;and our two new Junior Chapters, one ofSt. Matthew's Church, Lincoln, Dioceseof Nebraska, the other of Grace Church,

It is of interest to note that while this

year marked the 65th anniversary of thefounding of the Order, it has also beenhighlighted by notable chapter anniversaries. A number have celebrated their

Golden Jubilee, others 55 years and stillothers 59 years of continuous service. Trinity Chapter, Morrisania, N. Y. City, whichhas the distinction of being the oldestchapter on record commemorated its 60thbirthday. Its charter, dated March 14,1890, was the twelfth to be issued. Of their

nine charter members, one only is living—Mi-s. Sarah E. Holmes, still an active member, has the honor of being the oldestmember of the Order in point of service.To th(^ members of these chapters we sendhearty (ongratulations and good wishes,also our gratitude for the devoted andloyal service they have rendered throughthe years.

You will be glad to know that you canhelp our Missionary by sending her scrapsof yarn, all colors, large and small piecesof cotton prints suitable for making dolls,stuffed animals, aprons, etc. Miss Smithis anxious to get her young people working with theii- hands—making things—being creative.

The following extra< t from the Rev.Edmund L. Souder's letter will give yousome idea of the value of your Self DenialOflering and a sense of pride and gratification that such a fine person as MissElda Smith represents the Order as itsMissionary. "May I say how very fortunate we feel to have Miss Smith here.She is not only an experienced Missionary,but also a truly dedicated disciple of ourLord, and a hard worker. She has certainly made a place for herself at St.Mark's and we all feel we are blessed inher presence. We don't wish China anyhard luck but can't help hoping MissSmith stays here at St. Mark's, Honolulu,a long time. Please convey to the Daughters of the King the thanks of priest andpeople of St. Mark's, for their gift to thework of the Kingdom."

The Endowment Fund

The Endowment Fund of the Order of

the Daughters of thi- King could be aLiving Mi-morial Fund for the Extensionof Christ's Kingdom.For years the Council has thought that

we might have a field worker and tiieEndowment Fund could be the answer

to our prayers were the Fund largeenough. A re.solution was adopted atTriennial held in Washington, D. C., in1928, which directed the National Councilof the Order to make plans for establishing an Endowment Fund. Since then theFund has been growing steadily, but stillit is not large enough to warrant a fieldworker. The following resolution wasadopted at Triennial held in San Francisco in September 1949, "That the Council use the interest from the Endowment

Fund as a working fund in the interestof the Order."

We are not, as an Order, allowed tomake money for the Order's objectives,therefore this Fund must grow throughvoluntary gifts. Here is the opportunityfor Daughters and friends of the Orderto make bequests in memory of lovedones and friends, who have passed to theGreat Beyond, but whose memory wouldbe Living through the extension ofChrist's Kingdom.A memorial Foundation is twenty-five

dollars or more. It may start with a giftof five dollars and be completed in fiveyears. Chapters desiring to honor departedmembers may send a gift of one dollar ormore, such names will be inscribed in theBook of Remembrance, which is kept inthe archives of the Cathedral Church of

St. Peter and St. Paul in the city andDiocese of Washington, D. C. At eachTriennial Assembly of the Order the Bookis placed on the Altar at the time of the

Meditations on the

Nunc Dimittis

Much is written, spoken and taught incommemoration of the 400th anniversaryof the publication of the first book ofcommon prayer in English in 1549. Thewriter has selected a brief review from the

first of a scries of meditations from Sim

eon's Song written by Father Andrew,SDC. Be the Day Weary or Be the DayLong, At Length it Ringeth to Evensong.A familiar rhyme oft repeated because

known to be true. There are things thatwe cannot explain or find words to expressand one of them is the deep peace whichsometimes descends on the soul when the

last blessing at Evensong is given andafterwards centre round that gem ofbeauty, "the Song of Simeon." This beautiful canticle has been the death bed

prayer of many saints and mutlitudes ofChristian people. Of all the canticles, itis the shortest and most restrained. For

the last commendation to God at the end

of the day it is wholly satisfying, Simeonstanding with the divine Child in his armsspeaks for all of us who have found inlove—the meaning of life and are readyto trust love in the hour of death. The

canticle has four verses—is a thing ofbeauty and a jor for all eternity.Lord Icttest thou thy servant depart in

peace. The first sentence of Simeon'sSong is very familiar to us. We have sungit again and again to familiar music. Wecan hardly imagine a different beginningand yet if we turn to a revised version of

the Bible wc find the little adverb 'Now'put in the forefront. There is a subtlelittle point in this revision which emphasizes the relief and freedom of the singerto depart who has had given to him thesign for which his longing eyes have waited, so Simeon in his song represents himself as a servant or a watchman releasedfrom duty because that for which he hasbeen commanded to wait has at last appeared. The idea of a sentinel who hasbeen watching for a sign set free—bringsin the thought of liberty to do new work,of liberty to go forward with great hopeas well as the thought of departing to theunseen in peace. Simeon had been looking for the consolation of Israel and heknew as he took our Lord in his anns thatthe great counseler nad come. Simeontook Mary's little One into his arms withinfinite content. All the whole wonder ofthe Gospel would become explicit in thatlittle Life. Christ's cradle was set in anunfaithful Church. Our sure hope is inGod—not in our faithfulness to Him, butin His faithfulness to us. Simeon as hestands with the Holy Child in his armsknows that he has seen God's Messiah. Allthat the Messiah is to mean for men hecannot know. That He, the long lookedfor One has come at last, he does know.The peace, Simeon speaks of is the

peace of completeness. His soul knowshe has seen the salvation of God. In allsorts of ways a soul may have the experience of a sudden apprehension of a lightfrom God. We should live expectantly.The believing soul may go away fromevery communion whispering the words"Lord, now lettest thou thy servant departin peace."

—From the Angel's Wing, Diocese ofLos Angeles.

A PRAYER FOR THE SUMMER •

"O God, who dwellest not only intemples made with hands, help us as wedaily look out upon the beauty of theworld to know that thou art near. Maythe lake, the trees, the wide spaces of thefields, and all the nature sights and soundsof earth and air, be unto us as gateswhereby we may enter into the vasttemple of thy presence and think quietand compelling thoughts of thee. Andgrant that the friendships of the summer.

New Mexico—Southwest

Texas

The Daughters of the King of theMissionary District of New Mexico andSouthwest Texas met in Santa Fe, NewMexico, on April 18th, in the Church ofthe Holy Faith. The meeting was openedwith a meditation by the Rev. LawrenceCantrel, rector of the Church of the HolySpirit, Gallup, N. M. The emphasis ofthis meditation was our need to remember to put the first commandment first,that we may love our neighbor withoutloving God, and, doing so, still lose our•own salvation. When we love God first,then we must necessarily love ourneighbors, too.

After a short business session, themeeting was addressed by Mrs. S. M.Wells, of San Antonio, Texas, ProvincialPresident of the Order.

The District President announced thatshe proposed to visit each Chapter in the1 district, for the purpose of conducting aworkshop on Devotion. She will base theseworkshops on those conducted at theAuxiliary Triennial, in one of which shewas a group leader, and also workshoptraining received at the Leadership Training Conference recently held in theDiocese of West Texas. She has selecteda Chaptcr-book-of-the-year and a per-sonal-book-of-thc-year for use in theDistrict. The Chapter book is ConstanceGarrett's "Growth in Prayer," which eachchapter is to use as it pleases, either forpersonal reading or group study. Thepersonal book is Richardson Wright's"Anatomy of Saints," and it is to be hopedthat every Daughter in the District willown and use it.

One of the most successful aspects ofthe meeting was in the dinner after themeeting, and the breakfast following theCorporate Communion and Service ofRcdedication the second morning ofConvocation. These infoimal gatherings

did much to overcome the vast barriers ofdistance that separate us here in theSouthwest, and we propose to make theseaffairs a regular part of the annual meeting. At the time of the CorporateCommunion, a memorial gift to the Endowment Fund in memoi7 of Mrs.Dorothy Aldrich, past District president,was placed on the Altar.

ON HYMNS

On more than one occasion in hislatest book on World War II Mr.Churchill writes of hymns.

On the Sunday morning in August 1941when Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchilland their companies lay at anchor inPlacentia Bay, Newfoundland, where theAtlantic Charter and much else was accomplished—on that Sunday morningboth leaders and their staffs went tochurch on Mr. Roosevelt's flag-ship.

Mr. Churchill chose the hymns:"I chose the hymns myself—"For

Those in Peril on the Sea" and "OnwardChristian Soldiers." We ended with "OGod, Our Help in Ages Past," whichMacaulay reminds us the Ironsides hadchanted as they bore John Hampdcn'sbody to the grave. Every word seemed tostir the heart. It was a great hour to live.Nearly half those who sang were soon todie."

Magnanimiter CrucemSustine

At the Spring Assembly of the Dicccscof California, Canon Edwin West, rectorof the rhurch of St. John The Evangelist,San Francisc:o, paid tribute to the Orderas a group, which he considered indispensable in the work of the church.

Canon West took as his theme the

motto of the Order, "MagnanimiterCruccm Sustine." We are most gratefulto Miss Mary Elcanoi" Peters, editor ofour News Shed for the following notesfrom Canon West's address:

MAGNANIMITER SUSTINE

CRUCEM

Magnanimiter, "with proud eonfi-dence"; sustine, "hold aloft"; crucem,"the cross of Christ."

This translation of the Latin words

gave the theme, "Bearing the Cross."Obviously the matter of uplifting the

cross is far beyond wearing a pin or belonging to an organization. This is onlythe outward and visible sign of the inwai'dand spiritual grace implied in the vowsof Prayer and Service.

Remember that on the Via Dolorosa,as Christ was bearing His heavy cross,He, Perfect Man as Perfect God, fellunder the weight. "And," St. Luke tellsus, "they compelled Simon, a Cyrenianto bear His cross." Compulsion, the seizureof an unwilling bystander, and forcinghim to take part in this execution. Yet,such is the mystic miraculousncss of theCross, that the sons of the originallyunwilling helper of Our Lord becamefollowers of Christ and are named asSts. Alexander and Rufus of the Early-Church. So even though wc take up thecross as a burden, we arc inspired andchanged.The weight of that cross did not end

with Calvary. The wood has long since

disappeared, but the weight of accumulated sin, which it zeprescnts, hasremained and through the centuries wehuman beings have had the choice ofbearing up the cross or adding our weightof .sin to it.

The Daughters of the King have beenspared the compulsion of Simon, but theyhave the choice of either adding to itsweight or bearing it. There is no middlepath. Our Lord warned, "He that is notwith Me is against Mc."

What is the modus oj}erandi of bearingthe Cross? How may wc do it worthily?

First: Through whole-hearted, consecrated, dedicated service toward strengthening the Church, to supply the needs ofthe Church in every way revealed to us.•

Second: Through dignified peace andcharitable feeling, which must accompanyour deeds; a service of love and mutualkindness.

Third: Through frequent refreshmentin the Holy Communion, otherwise wcshall fail in our aims. The Holy Communion, the central sacrament of theChurch, given to us by Christ, is not amystical, magical trick, but a spirituali"echarging of our batterii-s in accordancewith the requirements of Christ. He notonly gave His Apostles tlu: means ofpei-petual renewal, but commanded theirpartaking of it.

The fii-st two points will utterly failwithout the third. It is necessai-y to comeregularly and frequently to receive theCommunion, as in this Corporate Communion today.

Not only will you thus be able to bearthe Cross, but you will be transformed,and your life will be given newsignificance.

CHRIST CHURCH DAUGHTERS OF THE KING COTTAGESBy The Rev. H. R. Rokerv-Thomas,

Rector oj Christ Church, Port Stanley, Ontario,' Canoda.

In the year 1914, a sum of money wasleft to the Daughters of The King, PortStanley, to establish a charity for indigentwomen. The amount however wa.s insufficient for any elaboiate social service, theChapter, with the concurrence of theVestry of Christ Church decided in 1948to build a block of four cottages, after thepattern of Alms Houses, found in manyof the ancient parishes of Great Britain.To do that it was necessaiy to raise

an additional capital sum. some ol whichhas already been subscribed, and the campaign for the remainder is still under way.Also a certain amount of voluntary labourhas been promised.A building site adjacent to the

Churchyard has been made available andconsiderable filling and levelling done,including hauling in over .1,000 cubicyards of fill. The <cment gravel is alsokockpiled on the site, and it is hopedthat building will commence in the nearfutUT'C,

This social service field is a conijjar-atively new one in the Canadian Church.There is a cottage settlement in theBritish Columbia Coast Mission, but generally with the more immediate problemof Church Extension in a de\clopingcountry, the Social Service of the Church:n Canada has not developed as extensively as in the older fields of GreatBritain and parts of the United States.

Tt is hoped that the Cottages projectat Port Stanley may be a lead to similarand probably more ambitious projects inlarger parishes; for the proper provisionfor the aged is one of the most urgent

SHARE YOUR ROYAL CROSS-SEE WHAT HAPPENS

Nat'l offiee ofThe Daughters of the KingNew York, New York

Dear Miss Rennie:

.\Pmiy years ago I was a member of theDaughters of the King—it was in itsinfancv. We have not had an organizationin our church for a number of years.A friend of mine has sent me copies of

Christian and social problems of our time.While the original endowment was for

women, the new funds have been solicitedon behalf of both men and women, sothat the po.ssibility of including one ortwo old married couples can beconsidered.

In the design, done by a Londonarchitect, who has his summer cottageat Port Stanley, consideration has beengiven to the desirability of having all theaccommodation on one floor. Nobasements, no stairs.

When the cottages are (ompleted theywill be administered by the Corporationof the Church (The Rector and Churchwardens) with the aid of the Daughtersof the King, and it is hoped that a suffi-< ient sum for endowment for upkeep willbe subscribed, which will be in\csted as acapital trust with the Synod of the Dioceseof Huron.

While this is an Anglican parochialpj-oject, in tlie matter of filling vacanciesthe Corporation is not to be bound by anyrestrictions as to age. denomination orprevious iTsidence. but is to be left freeto consider to the best of its ability, onlythe greatest need and sers ice that can berendered in Chi'ist's name.

Besides the cottage |)rojei't. which is anew venture, the Christ Church Chapterof the Daughters of the King carry outthe ministei-ing progi-am of their Order.They are one of the oldest CanadianChapteis and ha\-e been an inspiringexample of loyalty, devotion and servicein the wor^ of the pai ish o\ er many years.

The Roval Ctoss and I enjoy readingthem and find them so helpful, and Iwondered if T could subscribe and amenc losing $1.00.In mv dav we had no magazines. I stillhave m\' cross I wore then.Thanking you in advance.

The president of a large corporationnoticed an appointment scheduled with avery minor junior executive of hiscompany.

"Do you know what he wants?" heasked his secretary."No, sir, but I suppose it is about a

raise in his salary."The young man was very apparently

embarrassed when he came into thepresident's office."What can I do for you, young man?""Sir, I am an Episcopalian and I try to

work at it. I know that you are anEpiscopalian, but I don't sec you inChurch. Will you come with me nextSunday?"That night when the tale was told at

dinner, the president's wife said, "Well,u'hat are you going to do?""Why, naturally, we're going to Church

next Sunday with the young man whenhe calls for us in his car.""'And he ivcnt and found his hiotherand brought him to The Master."

Trailer Chopel^Dioceseof Olympia

About ten years ago, inspired by Mrs.Pedder and the California trailer projeets,the Daughters of our Diocese decided tosee if they could obtain enough money tofinance or partially finance a trailer. Thevarious chapters had their own way ofgetting money. St. Paul's-Bellingham andTrinity-Seattle both had memorial fundsdedieatcd to the Daughters, and thosenear to members of the chapters who hadentered into the Larger Life. St. Paul'swill be used to purchase a CommunionService and Trinity's an Altar Cross forthe chapel.The funds collected were tinned over

to Miss Constance Patterson, who hasacted as Trailer Chairman since the

beginning, keeping a record of them andthen the Diocesan treasurer took themover. Some Bonds were purchased duringthe war as it seemed unpatriotic to"hoard" the money. Now there is approximately $2300.00 in the fund.The summer of 1949 Bishop Bayne had

a suney made of the San Juan Islands.He found there were many Episcopalfamilies on the Islands with no means of

getting to church. So the Bishop suggestedthrough Miss Patterson at our Octobermeeting that the funds be transferredfrom a Trailer to a Boat fund. A priestcan make many calls along the shores ofthe islands and reach otherwise inaccessible points. It is impossible to get fromisland to island by ferry in one day soa boat would solve the problem. It wassuch a change from a ten year ideal of atrailer which would cover the hinterlandsthat the suggestion was tabled until theFebmary meeting. It was decided to give$2,000.00 of the money to the Bishop anduse the remainder as a nucleus for afuture Trailer or Missionary fund.The boat will be equipped with a

chapel which will be used where thereare not large enough dwellings for themeetings. As the Islands are not out inthe open water a boat will be able to beused all the year.A chapter has closed for us but a new

one of the actual employing our funds tohelp "spread Christ's Kingdom" is beginning. We look forward to doing moreand more "For His Sake."

St. Mothias Chapter

Detroit, Michigan

When one organization and one of itsactivities carr>' on in a parish over atwenty-five-year period, the record seemsworthy of note. That is the record of theSt. Matthias Chapter of the Daughtersof the King in St. Matthias Church,Detroit, Mich., in their annual sponsorship of a Palm Sunday Musicalc-Tea. Itwas 25 years ago, almost to the day, onApril 3, 1925, that the fiist Palm SundayTea was given in that parish by theDaughters of the King, and so "the eventthis year is celebrated in the color andtheme of a silver annixcrsaiy.

Their first Palm Sunday Tea wasserved under the capable direction of thelate Mrs. Sid A. Erwin, who at varioustimes was president of the St. MatthiasChapter and of the Diocesan Assemblyin the Diocese of Michigan. Mrs. Erwincontinued in the chairmanship of the teacommittee for many of the interveningtwenty-five years, until her death. Thereare two of the original members of theChapter who served with her on thesemany occasions and who will be honoredduring the silver anniversaiy program.

The St. Matthias Chapter has the distinction of having as an honoraiy memberMrs. Inez M. Browne, whose membershipin the Order dates back almost to thetime of its founding. Mrs. Browne stillwears the cross that she received ivhenshe was admitted into membership in theOrder at St. Mark's Church, GreenIsland, New York. On the back of thecross is engraved the date 1886, the yearof her admission. She has been a memberof the St. Matthias Chapter for the pasttwelve years. At the Silver Annivci-saryMusicale-Tea, tribute will also be paid toMrs. Browne for her loyalty and service.In recent years, a musicalc program,

preceding the tea, has been presented bya choral group of young girls in theparish, known as the St. Cecilia Choir,with guest musicians as soloists. Thechoir welcomes this opportunity to presentan informal program, and the Chapter-appreciates their cooperation in olTeringan afternoon of diversion and fellowshipfor the general welfare of the parish.

Trinity Chapter No. 1260th Anniversary

March 4. 1890, nine young girls met inthe Vestry Room in George's Hall, 168rdStreet and 8rd Avenue. New York City,and formed Trinity Chapter No. 12,Daughters of the King, under the guidance of our Rector, The Rev. Albert S.Hull.

Meetings were held every Fridayevening. Prayer, business, assignment ofwork, a ten minute religious talk orinstruction, and adjournment.In April (Easter 1890) the first service

was held in our new Church. There was

much work to be done: our chapter members were happy to be privileged to helpin every way.The Service of Admission was held in

our new church. It was a wonderful

occasion when we took our vow and were

invested with our cross.

We had our joys and sorrows duringthese long sixty years during which timewe had three Rectors who were mostsincere in their desire to have a chapterof the Daughters of the King.Our second Rector, The Rev. ClifTord

S. Gregg, had great faith in our Chapterand although the Order of the Daughtersof the King was new to him, he wasoverjoyed to take us in his fold.

Shortly before he was ctalled to a higherlife he sent for the President—told her hehad cancer and had not long to live—notto tell the others but instructed her to

have each member visit him so that hecould say "Good-bye" to them.On March 11, 1950, we entertained

the New York Diocesan Assembly and onMarch 14, 1950, we had a get-togetherluncheon for our members.At this luncheon Mrs. D. Schmitt, a

member of our Chapter for fifty years,and Mrs. S. Holmes, a Charter member,were presented with corsages of red roses,and a gold cross and chain to Mrs. S.Holmes.

Special Week-day Services arc conducted by our present Rector, The Rev.E. T. Theopold, and we owe much to himfor these many helpful and inspiringsendees which we arc privileged to attend.We ask your prayers that GOD will

bless us—that we may carry on His workin His loving service for many more years.

A Prayer

Combining the three objeets for which

the Daughters of the King are pledgedto pray daily.

O God, our Father, to whose ser\'ice

we have pledged ourselves, bless all themembers of the Order of the Daughtersof the King throughout the world. Grantto them special gifts for winning othersto Thee and to Thy Church. Give to ourparish faithful leaders and endow themwith power to deepen the .spiritual lifeof the congregation. Strengthen us in ourdevotion to the ideals given us by ThySon, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

This Prayer was written by Mrs. John H.Moore of St. Mark's Chapter, SanAntonio, Texas. Mrs. Moore was admittedas a Daughter more than fifty years ago.She is also the author of the Prayer, "ForThose Advancing in Years," on page 128of the current issue of Forward Day byDay.

For Those Advanced in A''f..\rs

Heavenly Father, whose gift is lengthof days; Help us to make noble use ofmind and body in our advancing years.As thou hast pardoned our transgressions,sift the ingatherings of our memory thatevil may grow dim and good may shineforth. We bless thee for thy gifts, andespecially for thy presence and the loveof friends in heaven and earth. Grant us

new ties of friendship, new opportunitiesof service, joy in the growth and happinessof children, .sympathy with those whobear the world's burdens, clear thoughtand quiet faith. Teach us to bear infirmities with cheerful patience. Keep us fi'oinnari'ow pride in outgrown ways, blindeyes that will not sec the good of change,impatient judgments of the methods andexperiments of others. Let thy peace ruleour spirits through all the trial of ourwaning powers. Take from us all fear ofdeath, and all despair or undue love oflife, that with glad hearts at rest in theewe may await thy will concerning us;through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

It Works

One night Mr. Pedcrsen, a Presbyterian missionary in Alaska, debated withhimself whether or not he should warmup the chapel for the weekly prayermeeting. It seemed a useless waste of fuel.The mercury was down in the bulb, Thewind was driving the snow horizontallypast the windows. No person would venture out. Then he remembered Frenchie.

He always came. It would not do todisappoint the silent trapper. It was theonly human contact he had from Sabbathto Sabbath. So the fire was built. And

Frenchie came. The minister and the

silent man faced each other across the

stove. "Frenchie, do you ever pray?""Sum." "Often?" "All the time, now.""Why do you pray?" "It works." "Tellme how it works." Then Frenchie said

(his brogue cannot be reproduced), "Iwas in my boat in Tahla Rapids. Therewas a submerged shelf of ice I did notsee. The boat went over quick. That waterwas deadly cold. I came up undi-r thecapsized boat. Could not get out. Neverprayed before. But I said, My God, youhelp me now. Pretty soon the upsidedownboat hit a dancing rake of ice and went<4ear out of the water and T with it. I

got to shore, built a fire and thawed out.As I got warm I talked to myself saying.You were not speaking to nothing. Hewas there and answered you. I knew whohe was and I have never forgotten. I pray.It \yorks."

—A. W. W.

With God nothins, shall be impossible.Luke 1-37.

Cincinnati, O.,—The diocese of South-em Ohio has completed successfully itscampaign for a million dollars for collegework, as well as pledged an all-time highfor missionary giving, $188,000 for thisyear.

"No diocese of the Church ever went

forth on such a courageous and seeminglyimpossible venture." Bishop Henry WiseHobson declared, adding, "Worthy support of the world mission of the Churchis a prerec|uisite for success in everythingelse the Church does."

The diocese is celebrating its DiamondJubilee, and Bishop Hobson is celebratingthe 20th anni\'crsary of his consecration.

THE JUNIOR MESSENGERMiss Grace Brisbane, Editor, 2202 W. Michigan Ave., Kalamazoo 59, Michigan.

Dear Girls,

Soon now, if not already for some ofyou, that dear old summer vacation fromthe grind of school will be here. For someof you who are graduating from HighSchool, this may be the end of your formaleducation, and for others of you it maybe just a vacation before you embark onthe path of higher education. Nevertheless most of us will have a vacation this

summer. The big question is, "What areyou going to do with it?"Are you going to use those 2,000 hours

or less that are given to you during thesummer just fulfilling your own selfishdesires? Does your plan include swimming, fishing, tennis, or other sportsduring most of the day? Then in yourspare time going to the movies, listeningto the radio, or reading just anything.What will your answer be to those whowant to include you in some worth-whileactivity?—"Oh, I would love to helpyou but I just haven't the time."Or are you going to be one of the

group who wonders away the summer?"I wonder what I will do with all that

time. But I am not going to make anyplans because I might have to pass upsomething exciting then." I will just takethings as they come, Why should T worryabout those worth-while things, if I don'tget to them this summer, there will beanother summer."

Perhaps you will be in this group. Wehope so. Summer vacation is just likebeing entrusted with a large sum ofmoney. Most of us, if given a large sumof money, would want to invest it andmake it work for us. That is exactly whatwe ought to do with summer vacations—invest them to our future well-being. Whynot make a list of some of the things youcould do to improve yourself? Naturallyyou should get in plenty of exercise tokeep yourself physically fit. Then duringthe year when evei^one is hai-d at workthere seems to have been little time toreally enjoy our families, and have goodtimes together. Why not devote some ofthe time for family get-togethers? Youknow you won't always have the familywith you, so enjoy them while you can.

Then that mind of youis still has to bekept oiled and alert with good readingand radio programs.Then, too, what about sharing some of

that free time with others. Your motherhas worked hard every day, so why notpitch in and take over some of her work?Now also you will have more time toreally spread God's Kingdom. Get wellacquainted with the people of your community, and find out those young peoplewho do not attend a church. Ask themto go with you, and then be sure and seethat they get there.

In this connection make sure that youyourself give plenty of that vacation timeto church and Church School attendance,and to the building of your own spirituallife. With all that time you should not berushed, so that your morning and eveningprayers or devotional reading is overlooked. Plan for them first and make theother things fit around them.From a vacation well planned to bene

fit you spiritually, mentally, and physicallyyou will receive refreshening strength thatwill fit you better for your future tasks.Be like Christ who went about, "Doing

good" rather than like so many peoplewho just—"Go about."

More New Chapters

We are all very glad to welcome themembers of two more Junior Chapterswhich have been organized since the lastissue of the Royal Cross. Our congratulations to the members of the new Chapterin Lincoln, Neb., and their directress, Mrs.Anderson; and also to the members ofthe new chapter in Silver Springs, Md.,and their Directress, Mrs. Dayton. Maywe all remember them in our prayers, asking God to guide them and strengthenthem for their work.

At this time the Juniors lead theSeniors in new chapters—2-1, so let usall be on our toes and see if we can't hit

a new high for the number of new chapters this year. But more important let ussee if we can't keep more of the alreadyorganized chapters from disbanding.

What Will Be Your Answer,If Called?

The other night one of the young girlsasked: "Miss Smith, how many years ofcollege would one ha\ e to have to becomea church worker?" "Well, most of ourChurch Training Schools reciuire fouryears of college before one enters them,"answered Miss Smith. "You mean," Bettyreplied, "that one has ' to take specialtraining at a Church School after goingfour years to college?" "That is right,"Miss Smith said, "and most of the ChurchSchool courses are two or three years.""Why," exclaimed Betty, "that is at leastsix years more after high school. Thoseworkers certainly must be well trained.I thought that I would like to go intoChurch work, but six more years! I don'tthink that I could stand all that study,and where all that money would comefrom I don't know."

"Betty," said Miss Smith, "just whatkind of work are you interested in doingfor the church?" "Why I didn't know thatthere were diflerent kinds of positions,"exclaimed Betty. "I just thought that thewomen workers all did about the same

kind of work, and took the same kind oftraining." "Some of the training is thesame for all of them," Miss Smith toldher, "but there are different kinds ofpositions for women workers in thechurch.

"One could serve the church as a doctor, nurse or medical technician here inthe United States or in any of our missionary fields. Those who like to teachbecome instructors and teachers in church

schools, colleges and universities. Theirare hundreds of these serving in thiscountry, and some in our foreign missions.Many girls like the field of social work,and they too can find employment withinthe church. Then there are the professional women church workers, These

workers also may serve in this country orin some of our over-seas missions. If thc.sc

workers work in a parish, they assist withthe visiting, church school, young people,children's activities, junior choirs, andvacation schools. Or some of these peoplemay be interested in working with collegestudents on the college campus. But thekind of work I thought you might beinterested in, Betty, was that of a parishsecretary." "Would that be mostly officework," asked Betty?

"It would require you to be welltrained in secretarial skills which you

could probably take in a two year collegebusiness course. Then in addition vou

would need study in the teachings of ourchurch, parish administration, churchresources, and such. These would be best

taken at one of the Church TrainingSchools. Many girls go to these ChurchTraining Schools on scholarships, othersare able to work and save up their ownmoney. You remember that the Daughters of the King have a scholarship fundto be used for the training of girls preparing for church work. That is theMaster's Fund which we hope that evei-yJunior Chapter remembers to give to eachyear. Betty, if you decide on becoming achurch secretary, you would certainly beserving well. Many parishes have a hardtime getting and retaining a good andwell informed church trained secretarywho is not in the work just for the moneyshe gets out of it.""Do you mean that the other fields of

Church Work for women are crowded,"asked Betty? "Oh, no," Miss Smithexclaimed, "by all means not that! Youheard Father Brown tell the congregationa few Sundays ago how short the Episcopal Church was of priests. That samestory is true of women workers. There aremany positions requiring trained womenworkers, that go unfilled eveiy yearbecause of the lack of such workers."

"Well, I can see how that would be," saidBetty very seriously. Just think of all thoseyears of study and the money. But I suppose, if one really wanted to do it nothingwould stop you."

"Betty," said Miss Smith, "you areabsolutely right there. When one has a'Call' to serve in the church no obstacle

is too great to overcome." "Wait a minute," replied Betty. "What do you meanby a 'Call'?" "Now that is a little hardto explain," replied Miss Smith. "But itis that feeling within you that says, 'Thisis it!' This is what God wants me to do

with my life.""But whether one serves as a Church

worker or in other walks of life, one canstill serve God, if you want to. A verygood theme song for every day would be408 in the New Hymnal, 'Take my life,and let it be consecrated, Lord to thee'."
