AN ADVENT MESSAGE

Advent is a preparation for a great Chnstian Festival—the Nativity of Christthe King.

The secular world makes much of llie Holy Season of Christmas, and millions

are spent by manufacturers and merchants urging us to get ready for the holiday.Shop now—mail early—wrap securely, are all slogans pressed upon us. And gaydecorations, carols, Santa Clauses, greens—all are used to put us into a .spendingmood. All of this in itself is quite good for business and our own general economicand material welfare.

But the Clhurch would remind us of the deeper side of this pre-Christmas time.T'he Church lakes on a penitential atmosphere, with purple hangings and vestments,and alleluias banned from the Seivice. The hymns are full of expectancy and anticipation—"Come Thou long expected Jesus"—"O Come Emmanuel"—"Lo HeComes"—"Hark the Saviour Comes"—these and others tell of Christ's coming and

then challenge us to be ready—"Go Meet Him as He Cometh"—"Yea, Amen, letalt adore Him"—".See that your lamps are burning."

Have we used Advent for this purpose? Let us all hope and pray that Godwill help us make a special place pure and clean in our hearts so that the ChristChild may come and dwell therein, and strengthen, guide and bless us through thecoming New Year.

THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT'S MESSAGETo All Members of the Order:

It is ever the wish of a loyal Daughterto serve her King in whatever capacityHe may desire. He gives her the strengthand grace and the iindergirding of Hisboundless love to supply all of her inadequacies. The call to sei-ve the Orderof "The Daughters of the King" as itspresident brings one face to face withthis great truth.I have been overwhelmed by the love

of our members and by the confidenceexpressed in my election to serve as yourpresident for the next three years.

I firmly believe that the Order standsat the threshold of far greater sendee toChrist and His Chtirch—together may wework and pray to see this service becomea more glorious witness in the 1960's.

We are happy to report to you thatas of October 15th, a total of 350 requestsfor information relative the Order havebeen received at the national office. Thiscomes as a concerted effort to let thepeople, priests and laity of the Churchknow more of the work of the Order.In June 7000 letters and folders weremailed to the clergy, the exhibit at theGeneral Convention elicited additionalinterest, the Order's program was presented to the Triennial meeting of theEpiscopal Churchwomen, and in theHouse of Deputies, and delegates, bishops,priests and lay delegates received explanatory sheets in their convention portfolios.All this has resulted in widespreadawakened interest. You may be asked asan individual, or as a chapter, diocesan,provincial or national representative ofthe Order to visit those priests in yourarea who have indicated a desire to knowmore about the Order and have expressed a readiness to establish a senioror junior chapter in their parishes ormissions. It is our earnest wish that youwill be prepared to do so as soon as youare contacted.

Triennial reports of National Officers,Chairman of National Standing Committees, and Editor of "The Royal Cross"were presented and accepted with thanks;reports in brief:ACTING PRESIDENT (combining

that with the report of the 1st Vice-pres.)Mrs. James L. Cassidy: "In March, 1959,Mrs. Dayton asked me, as 2nd Vice-Pres.,to assume the work of Miss Clara Stack-house, 1 St Vice-Pres., whose untimelydeath left vacant her office. I agreed andfunctioned in this capacity until March6, 1961, when God in His wisdom calledour beloved President, May Dayton, home.The mantel of acting Pres. fell on my shoulders and I have endeavored with God'shelp to perform such functions as werehers. As a member of the program committee for the Detroit Triennial it hasbeen my good fortune to work with twodedicated Daughters, Nancy Beggs andGeraldine Dettmann, without whose excellent work this convention could nothave been held. My work on the GeneralDivision of Women's Work opened my

eyes to the great challenges facing ourChurch, our women and particularly ourDaughters and the need for clear thinking,clear evaluation and careful planning forthe future. Because of this and because Ihave felt so strongly the magnificence ofher witness and the potential of her members as forces for Christ in the world, Iwas impelled to speak out in an openletter to all Daughters preparatory to convention. This was executed and financedby Daughters and mailed to all chaptersin June. A gratifying result has been theflood of letters from chapters and individuals accepting the challenge, offeringconstructive suggestions and promisingsupport in all areas. I wish to express mythanks to every member of the Council,to Miss Soper, to Miss Rennie, to Fr.Merrow and to the many whose love andprayers have sustained me in this task."SECRETARY: Mrs. Jack M. Beggs:

"I have performed all duties pertainingto my office. Copies of the minutes of the27th National Convention as well as theminutes of the two Council meetings heldat Seabury House in 1959 and 1960 weresent to each Council member, provincialRepresentative, and Honorary member,and also to the New York office for thefiles.

A condensed reportof the excellent work done by membersof the Order, throughout the Nation, willbe sent to the Royal Cross for publication.I served as Program Chairman for thisTriennial, always ably supported by theco-chairman, Sara Cassidy, with full cooperation from the Chairman of LocalArrangements, Geraldine Dettmann; I amindeed grateful for their help, and for theopportunitv to serve on the National Council."TREASURER: Miss Hattie K.

with heavy responsibilities to all the women of the Church. Your representative isa full active working member. I have endeavored to interpret the Order, the idealsof its Founders, the dedication of its members, and the many avenues of seivice. Ihave encouraged co-operation betweenthe ECVV and Daughtei-s eveiywhere, andhave looked toward ever increasing closerrelationships in parish, Diocese and province. I have attended all the meetingsof the General Division in this Triennium—4 the first year, and 3 on the following2 years. I have been a member of theUnited Thank OlTering Committee and ofother committees. I have been asked tohelp conduct the interest group on Worship and Devotions at the Triennial Meeting of the Women of the Church. OurOrder's work will be presented to theWomen early in the Triennial in a Religious Dialogue written by Mrs. RobertMcKellar and participated in by Mrs.McKellar, Father Menow, and Mrs.Russell Raney. Fr. Merrow has been al-loted time to speak for the Order in theHouse of Deputies. Through these programs, and our booth in Cobo Hall wehope to extend a knowledge of our workinto the whole Church, and increase ouropportunities of service, "For His Sake."ENDOWMENT FUND: Mrs. Arthur

Twenty-five dioceses were donors.A bequest of $573.05 from the Ethel Riceestate was added to the Fund. Balancein the fund Aug. 31, 1961, $26,991.84.NATIONAL BOOK OF REMEM

BRANCE: Miss Lillian J. Soper: Allnames of Daughters and friends for whoma Memorial Gift has been given have beeninscribed in their proper place. It is important that names be inscribed accordingto the approved inscription, therefore toavoid confusion and save much writingback and forth, may we suggest that thoseresponsible for sending in memorial contributions read carefully the instructionsgiven in the Endowment Fund leaflet.Memorial gifts should be sent directly toour national office, checks should be madepayable to, "The Daughters of the King,Inc." Again at this Triennial during theHoly Communion and Memorial Servicethe Book will be on tlie altar, in loving

memory of those Daughters and Friends,whom we, "have loved long since and lostawhile."

DEVOTIONS AND STUDY: Mrs.E. D. Smith: "I have consulted the members of my committee for suggestions fora theme for All Saints' Day to be selectedat each Council meeting, and writtenthree articles for The Royal Cross on theselected themes. I have also written threearticles for The Royal Cross containingsuggestions for programs of study, basedon the Convention themes. I have arranged for all the Communion sei'viccs atCouncil meetings and the opening andclosing devotions and noonday prayers ateach session of the Council meetings andat this Triennial Convention. A list ofsuggested reading material for study anddevotions has been compiled and is available for this Convention."EDITOR OF THE ROYAL CROSS:

Miss Lillian Janet Soper: "In March,1959, at the request of our late NationalPresident, I consented to my appointmentas Editor of "The Royal Cross." Sinceassuming my duties for the June, 1959issue, 10 editions have been prepared andissued on time. An earnest effort has beenmade to make each issue more inspirational, informative and attractive, specialattention has been given to the arrangement and title of material. The cover pageis now more attractive; the title of thepage of devotions now emphasizes theDaughters vow to pray daily: sermons, inspirational articles and cuts are beingused suitable to the Church's year, andmore pictures have been used, which addsto the interest of your magazine. We believe from the numerous letters receivedand the increase in the number of subscriptions that our readers are pleased,and that "The Royal Cross" is fulfillingits purpose, which is to help the growthof the Order and the development of itshigh aims and ideals. It is your magazineand it cannot measure up to its aims andgoals unless you keep us informed. Despite the amount of detail work, and alsothe disappointments, editing "The RoyalCross" has been one of the most rewarding experiences of the many years it hasbeen my piivilege to work for the advancement of the Order."BISHOPS' AND DIOCESAN CHAP

TERS: Mrs. Robert E. Juergens: "These

chapters perform two very important services for the Order. One is the provisionfor Dioceses and Missionary Districtswhere the members are widely scattered,and the churches such distances apart, itis difficult to have parish chapters. Theother function is that of providing chaptermembership for those who come fromparishes of missions where there is nochapter, including those aged and infirmDaughters who are in rest or nmsinghomes. Those living in homes for theaged are needed and appreciated in thefulfillment of their Vows of Prayer andService, for their prayers and intercessionsgive a deep meaning to their lives and tothose around them. Their service is oftenlimited just to those with whom they live,however many chapters are very activeindeed. During this Triennium I havecontacted every Chapter President byletter, and also sent greeting cards.There are 16 of these chapters in existance,with a membership of 208."SELF DENIAL OFFERING: Mrs.

Pat Fite: "I have written three articlesfor The Royal Cross, written to committeemembers, made personal appeals in behalfof the Offering, encouraged corporatecommunion and presentation services, attended two of the three Council meetings,sent greetings to our missionary, ElizabethDaniel, on her birthday, which is November 23, and at Christmas and Easter. Annual receipts for Self Denial Offering areas follows: September 1, 1959—$3,292.01;September 1, 1960—$3,355.45; September1, 1961—$3,649.48; Grand Total forT riennial—$10,296.94.LITERATURE: Mrs. Frank R.

Wetyen: A detailed account of allliterature printed during this Trienniumwas given. New literature printed and sentout recently for Extension Work: 12,000"A Dedicated Daughter"; 13,000 "WillingHearts and Hands"; 10,000 Letter toClergy; 10,000 Enclosed "Return Cards"for response from clergy.PROMOTION: Mrs. Carl Rubick:

"Promotion was done through the use ofsixty-one 2x2 mm. slides, sent to all whorequested them. These slides show thework and activities of many chapters, andnew ideas have been gained from ^em.At the request of the Council I haveworked the past year on an exhibit ofdolls dres.sed to represent the different

vestments of the Church. These will be ondisplay at this Triennial."BUSINESS MANAGER, THE

ROYAL CROSS: Mrs. James LyleCassidy: "Our magazine has been published quarterly from Sept., 1958 to Sept.,1961. The magazine now reaches allSenior Daughters whose dues are paid,Jr. Directresses, seminaries, conferenceand retreat centers, Seabury House, members of the General Division of Women'sWork, the Presiding Bishop, mzmy Bishopsand priests, and other interested subscribers. Approximately 7700 copies of eachissue are published. We are blessed with asplendid editor, and a fine publisher, butour major problem is in distribution.Many hours are lost, and money wastedbecause members move, and forget tonotify the National Office, or Chapters arenegligent in reporting deaths, or incorrectly reporting names or addresses ofmembers."FINANCE: Miss Hattie K. Bunting:

"I have visited the National Office in NewYork to find our needs at the presentare few. Since we have accepted spacein the new Episcopal Church Building tobe erected in New York we plan to waitfor any new equipment until then. Balanceon hand, August 31, 1960—$4,362.15;Income for the year 1961—$10,690.02;Expenses for year—$13,958.05; Balance—$1,094.12."JUNIOR DIVISION: Mrs. Cecil

Tucker: "A number of new chapters havebeen formed, but there is still a greatpotential in the coming triennium todouble this number. I feel we should setthis as our goal, and work towards it,with adequate funds for leadership training, and printing of needed materials forleaders. I did the preliminary design andart work on a promotional poster for theJuniors, and a commercial artist did thefinished art work. However, the completedproduct was the gradual development ofseveral minds, the beginning of which wasin our own National Council committee.I have prepared material for the JuniorProgram for this Triennial—a. large book,which will be illustrated with "living pictures," and I hope will be a means ofpromotion, inspiration and education. Reports from the Junior chapters show thatthey are true to the two vows of Prayerand Service.

134 llggal (CrogH December, 1961

"As Editor of the Junior Messenger, Ihave written copy for the March, June,September and December issues duringmy term of office on the National Councilfor the past three years, endeavoring toput into each issue something for personalcharacter development or inspiration, forinformation, and to help in program mak-• ^ JJing.

OFFICE SECRETARY: Miss Alice K.Rennie: "During the past triennium wehave grown very fast in some sections ofthe country, notably in Florida, Texas,and Michigan. We now have in the SeniorDivision 6,847 members, in 341 chapters,in 58 dioceses. In the Junior Division 875members, in 54 chapters, in 23 dioceses.Our main difficulty is trying to deliver"The Royal Cross" to everyone. We havefour mailing dates for the stencils to theprinters: February 10, May 10, August 10,and November 10, and in between thesetimes no changes can be made. We doappreciate it when individual membersnotify us of change of address. I urge youto notify us when a member passes away.Remember to send name and address ofnew member along with registration fee,and also send money for supplies whenyou send in your order. We have a part-time assistant two days a week who isvery faithful to her duties. Many yearshave gone by since I came to be yourNational Office Secretary and they havebeen blessed indeed, and I hope to go onfor a few more years and shall try to domy best to fulfill my duties in every capacity."By majority vote of the convention, the

office of National Chaplain was created,and our President given authority to askthe Presiding Bishop, the Rt. Rev. ArthurLichtenburger, to appoint the Rev. EdwardL. Merrow, to serve as our National Chaplain during the next Triennium.MASTER'S FUND: Mrs. Robert B.

McKellar: For the past Triennium wehave assisted young women in obtainingthe necessary training at one of ourChurch Training Schools for a full timevocation of Church work. We have corresponded with and advised 15 women inaddition to awarding three scholarships.Our recipient for this year is Miss TamaeKataoka, of Kyoto, Japan. The deterringfactor in applying for, and accepting ourScholarship awards is, we believe, the fact

that our maximum limit has been $700,an unrealistic figure in our present economy. We would recommend the maximumlimit for aid to any one person for anyone year to be raised to $1500, the applicant would be required to apply only forthe actual amount she would need. Myappreciation to the other members of thecommittee. Miss Soper and Miss Dett-mann for their assistance, advice and support.RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE:

for the discussion of the problems of theJuniors. The Committee feels that theoutstanding speakers, the carefully balanced choice of topics; the atmosphere ofconsideration and helpfulness of the Hostess Committee have made this a trulymemorable Triennial.

The President announced that a letterhad gone out recently to all the Clergyin the Church, explaining the work of theOrder, enclosing the two latest pieces ofliterature and a return card for thoseseeking more information. The returns arealready coming into the national office.She spoke of some of the problems nowfacing the Order, and appointed a committee to explore the possibility of working toward some solution of these and toreport their findings to the May, 1962Council meeting.

COURAGE

God, we do not ask for courage for thewhole of life, but rather for courage tolive a moment at a time, and that momentfor Thee.

First of three Meditations Givenat Triennial by

The Rev. Dom Anthony Damron, O.S.B.Looking into the Episcopal Church

Annual, I find that The Daughters ofthe King are listed decidedly as a 'Religious Order', having as goals, prayer andwork. From this Order, we come to Convention, and we know by bitter experience,most of us, that we come to convention,as we come to prayer itself, bringing withus exactly the type of persons we are andhave become. Sometimes we can anticipate the crises and bickerings and preparefor them; we can hardly always avoidthem.To offset this, there are such texts as

that chosen for this Convention, Gal. 5:25."If we live in the Spirit, let us also walkin the Spirit." For we know by experience,a wonderful experience this one, that GodCAN come, can convene with us . . .I have been asked to give you three

meditations, to be based on this theme,"If we live in the Spirit, let us also walkin the Spirit." St. Paul has been talkingabout a basic morality which he expectshis Galatian Christians to follow. Ourown problems in life are not often asgreat as the Galatians'. Yet there are oursecret sins, those we would not want anyliving soul to know, except perhaps thepriest who can give us God's absolutionand teach us His truths to overcome them.In the human mind itself we can findextremes ranging from God's grandeur toman's filth. Christian life itself is a greatand dramatic thing; the scope aloneshould astound us, from God down to theleast of the animals. In the mind of manwe can see exaltation and religious ecstasyand we can see mental illness, and themuch more unfortunate, those inhabitantsof skid row who have lost all hope. It ispanoramic, this Christian life. We sometimes become depressed by the darkerside of it, yet in all of it, we have suchtexts as this: "If we live in the Spirit, letus also walk in the Spirit."—^First theconviction, the flat statement that welive in the Spirit; and then the exhortation, that we may walk in the Spirit.We live in the Spirit—^whether we

know it or not, whether we choose it ornot: for this is what GOD HAS DONEFOR US. The Divine life in us parallelsthe natural life, and in both, the begin-

136 jRo^al (Erflfig December, 1961

ning of life is an unknowing tiling. OurBaptism, the picture of a child beingtaken into Christ, receiving a name bywhich God will know him throughout alleternity, and as a result of this Baptismour original sin is done away, we are reborn in Clirist and we receive a newcharacter, an unerasabie one, that olbeing Christ's own. So we come to C'on-vention as persons baptized, washed inthe. Blood, the Precious Blood as St. Petercalls it. Every breath we take is given byGod, and oui" every moment of lile issustained by God. Underneath are theEverlasting Arms and the eternal God isour refuge. In the words of David, ''Comeand see what great things God has donefor my soul."How fine the thought; he would have

been crucified even for me alone. Howstrange His liberality, when the blasphemerridicules God by tising tlie breatli Hegives.

Yes, there are many blessings, but neverblessings in isolation. The idea of the'Church' is always there. We have beentaught many figures of the Church; it isthe Ark of salvation, it is the MysticalBody of which we are the members andour Lord Himself the Head, it is theBride of Christ. One of the best surelyis that which calls the Church our Mother.It gives tis birth in the waters of Baptism,and after birth it nourishes us with theHoly Clommunion, as any Mother would.And when we sin, the Clhurch in the nameof Christ forgives us. What sins can closeher arms? She even has words to ofTer

us sometimes on dress, as our naturalmothers had; and like all mothers, Sheteaches us to speak, using Her own language, the liturgy of the Church. Wecannot lose sight of this Church. In thewords of one of our best theologians.Professor Hall, "Nothing is more mai-velousthan the chronic vitality of the Church,and its recoveries aflei" periods of seeming deadness. The world repeatedly raisespaeans of victory over it, and then asrepeatedly it reasserts its immortal andsanctifying power in the face of its enemies." '"The gates of Hades shall not prevail against it, although every evil andcorruption which devils can inspire mento contrive is exploited within by its unfaithful members. To those who can lookbeneath the surface, these renewals of tire

Church's vital power arc manifest effectsof the relation between it and Christ . .The "chronic vitality of the Church," the"Spirit-filled Catholic Church."You are the tapestry of that Church.

We can't say too much of that Church—as long, of course, as we remember thatit is Christ's and that it is He who fillsit. We can't glorify it beyond true measure.He bought it with His Blood and willpresent it. says St. Paul, lo Himself aglorious church, not having spot oi-wiinkle, or any stich thing; but that itshould be holy and without blemish.

Surely God is loving unto His newIsrael. His mercy is upon Zion, Ezekiel'sshowers of blessings have come down.The window of heaven has opened(Malachi) and showered us with Hisblessings. God has filled His house withglory, which house we are.We come to Convention then as the

Church; we are parts of His Body growingup to match that Divine Head. Remember this, too; not a dead Baptism, a partlife; but a living Christ. In the businessof Convention, pause to thank Him. Evenbetter, ctiltivale a spirit of 'disinterested'adoration. Use the Laudate psalms, thethree last psalms of the Prayer Book,which are sheer praise. And have a successful Convention, a holy Convention.

Summary of Convention Sermon byThe Rev. Edward L Merrow

Today our world finds fewer Christiansthan there were yesterday—in fact, thetotal number makes a very small minorityin this world's population, and it growssmaller every houi*. An even smaller percentage of this minority is Anglican, withEpiscopalians numbering only 3/2 millionof the fewer than 90 million who call

themselves Churchmen in the AnglicanCommunion. When we go one step more,we come to those incli\'iduals within theC'hurch who have personally accepted anordered life abo\'c and beyond but including the vows of Holy Baptism andConfirmation, and who stand corporatelyas orde]-ed Christians under the Law of

God and the structure of His Church.This last categoiy of Christians includesyou and me. we are a pitifully small ntim-ber indeed to be placed before the exploding population of this ̂ vorld. You and

December, 1961 137

I live in an uncomfortable time, and itgives evidence of becoming more uncomfortable. The events of our age will haveand are having consequences for us—thattiny minority of ordered, Anglican Christians, which I am afraid either cannot seeor deliberately does not want to .see what isdemanded from each of us.Of air the Prophets of the Lord in the

Old Testament, I have always found thatthe two writei-s of the Book of Isaiah hadmore to say to me than any of the others.The Lsaiah we know about—the one

who wrote the first 39 chaptei^s of thatgreat book started out like a typical Episcopalian. There is reason to believe he wasa Prince among his people. Quite well-to-do and a responsible civic leader who wasconcerned with the many things wrongwith his society—the moral decay symbolized by the rich getting richer and thepoor poorer, women flaunting their charmsbefore all to see, drunkenness becominga false symbol of strength among theleaders of Israel, and the most markedsign of moral breakdown—the orderedpeople of The Lord—the ministers ofGod—people like us—had reached thepoint of calling evil good and good evil.The leaders of God's people sought securityfor themselves by compromise and convenient treaty and knew nothing of theinner strength which comes only fromthe Lord and which brings courage andhope and the capacity to stand and fightwhen necessary.In all this Isaiah was a good, upright,

well-meaning citizen who knew thingsweren't right but who had difficulty knowing what to do about it. Then somethinghappened!! In the year that King Uzziahdied he saw the Lord! And tis always happens, he saw himself in that Holy reflection of the Glory of God and he didn'tlike what he saw. For the first time Isaiahrealized he was undone. Isaiah came tounderstand he could not stand alone. Heknew he would be able to do nothingabout the decline of his people. Then theHoly Lord of Hosts, whose glory fills thewhole earth, cleansed him and he heardthe voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shallI send, who will go for us?" And Isaiahsaid, "Here am I; send me."In a sense each one of us here has

received this same commission after offering the self that is ours for God to use

for His service. We have voluntarily accepted Orders to serve, to tell our peopleabout the Good News of The Gospel ofPeace. We are ordered to publish thegood tidings of joy and brotherhood andgood-will among all men, while we, ourselves, become ever more hemmed in bysuspicion and mistrust, as deceit, maliceand hatred sew the seeds of fratricide evenbetween the children of God in His HolyChurch. We all need to say: "O Lord,what is our help?" and believe it when wosay, 1 ruly our help is only in THEE.

This is a time when men are seekingfor a sign to guide them—when men outof every nation almost prayerfully strivefor "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." America's dream—the ideal weknow we haven't fulfilled—has become anend in itself for millions of men andwomen in the new nations of people nowcoming into being. So many of thesepeople imagine that prosperous life,political freedom and personal happinesscan be gained by increased industrialization, the privilege of a form of politicalself-determination and the attainment ofpersonal fortunes—and this has becomeThe Sign which we have held up tothese people. Compare this if you willwith The Sign God gave to Isaiah to holdup to our forefathers: (Is. 11)This Holy Sign for all nations is Christ

the Son of the Living God whom wehave received as Lord and Master, Saviourand King. Him we have promised to serve.And in serving Him promised to showforth the Good News to all men everywhere.It must be obvious that the world aroundus has not seen this Holy Sign—has notheard the Good News of Jesus Christ. Itmust also be obvious to us who havepromised to be the bearers of this Signand to set ourselves as lights in our severalgenerations to guide the nations into thepathways of Peace—it must be obvious tous we have failed. I am afraid that oneday the Holy Lord God will look at eachof us and say in judgment, "You whooffered to go for me—^you who willinglyaccepted my Orders before me and before men have failed me and my people.You have rendered lip service to me ratherthan the service of love ordered for tlieleast of my children. When you haveprayed you have talked so incessantlyabout yourselves that you have not heard

138 5Il;g PlroBH December, 1961

my voice. You have followed your owndevices—^you have listened to the dictatesof your own hearts and minds and youhave confused your evil consciences withmy judgments. I gave you a new lifein me—in my Body—my Church—alife free from fear, free even from thefear of death, for I gave you the promiseof everlzisting life with me in myKingdom. I forgave you your sins andshowed my love for you in my only begotten Son, that He might be The SignI promised by my servant Isaiah. That inHim you might know me. For all this Iasked but one thing—that you love mewith all your heart, soul, mind andstrength and that you show this love byloving your neighbors and especially yourneighbors in trouble, alone, sick, in thedarkness of this world."We who are under freely accepted orders,

we who have committed ourselvesas Adult members of God's Holy Churchand who bear on our persons the HolySign of God's Salvation for us—^weknow what is expected of us—"Except yelove one another as I have loved you,ye can in no wise enter the Kingdom ofheaven." You and I are ministers of ourLord for His people—I, a Priest—you.Daughters of the King—each one of usstands in a peculiar and Holy relationship with God and with His people. Wehave promised to be bearers of the GoodNews of God's love for all men—especially those who are most unlovely by theworld's standards.We have promised to serve God as

our God, our Master and King—we mustface the fact that we cannot serve Godand Mammon. We cannot please Godand be man-pleasers—in fact there isopen conflict between the things of thespirit and the things of the flesh. Unlesseach one of us who has come to understand what is required of us and how farwe have fallen short of fulfilling ourOrders from the King of Kings—^Unlesswe fall on our knees and cry, "Lord, havemercy on us miserable sinners" and knowagain and again the Love of God thatis capable of restoring in us that whichwe destroy through our own willfulness—and then rising cleansed, restored, forgiven—go out again as the Bearers ofGod's Sign of Hope for this sick andweary world—Unless you and I delibera

tely and conscientiously strive to love allmen as our brothers in Christ and showthem the Love of God we have receivedso abundantly—unless all whom we meetcan find Christ our King reflected outfrom all we do and say—and even think—I can only believe the words of ourBlessed Lord.

"And the King will say unto them onHis left hand—I was hungry, thirsty, sick,alone, friendless and ye came not unto me.I came into your Churches and was turnedaway because I didn't look like you. Inthose places which were called by myName where I found a place to sit downI found none to call me brother. I cameas a stranger and I left by that same colddoor. Inasmuch as ye have closed yourhearts and minds to the needs of my children you will inherit the consequences.You will dwell in the lonely darkness ofyour vanity-filled minds and you willknow the eternal terror of the selfishtrying to keep that which was never yoursand you will grow old into eternity knowing the absence of the love you never gaveaway and which long ago turned intorancid bitterness. DEPART OUT OFMY SIGHT FOREVER."

Isn't it wonderful to have the Order'sNational Triennial Convention so successfully behind us? It was a very heavywork for many persons but we are certainthat all the weariness was accompaniedby the comfortable feeling that it was SO ,WORTHWHILE. To many the job they |were doing was a new one and not onlydid they work but they worried too asthey were not sure how they would manage. They managed like experts all right!Congratulations! And our gratitude to thevarious Chairmen for the fine unselfishleadership they showed which helped somuch to make the Order's 1961 Convention a successful and inspiring one.

BEGIN EACH DAY WITH PRAYER

"And He spake . . . unto them to thisend, that men ought always to pray andnot faint."

(Luke 18:1)

ADORATION

"God is Spirit. They that worship Himmust worship Him in spirit and in truth."God is Light. If we walk in the light

as He is in the light, we have fellowshipone with another, and truly our fellowship in the Spirit is with the Father andHis Son, Jesus Christ."God is Power. They that wait upon

the Lord shall renew their strength. Theyshall mount up with wings as eagles. Theyshall run and not be weary. They shallwalk and not faint.

"God is Love. Eveiyone that loveth isbom of God and knoweth God; and weknow we have passed from death untolife because we love."

WHEN EVENING COMES

The day is past, O Lord, and we offerto Thee our evening sacrifice, humbly beseeching Thy Majesty, that whatever inus is darkened by the night of sin maybe illumined by the brightness of Thylight, and that while our eyes are closedin sleep, our souls may be awake to Thee,so that at the close of night, we may welcome with Thy praises the return of day.

FOR THE CHILDREN

O Lord Jesus Christ, who didst takechildren into Thy arms and bless them,we pray Thee to keep our children everenfolded by Thy love. Help them to growinto love of Thee; save them from evil;strengthen them against the impulses ofselfwill; inspire in them a high sense oftruth and of the duty of human sei-vice;and give them grace to follow day byday in the steps of Thy most holy life.

NATIVITY

"Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be bom.

If He's not born in thee, thy soul is allforlom.

God's spirit falls on me as dew drops ona rose.

If I, but like a rose, my heart to Him unclose.

Could but thy soul, Oh man, become asilent night,

God would be born in thee and set allthings aright.

In all etemity no love can be so sweet,As where man's heart with God in unisondoth beat.

Ah! Would the heart be but a mangerfor the birth,

God would once more become a childon Earth.

Immeasurable is the highest; who butknows it:

And yet a human heart can perfectly enclose it."

CHRISTMAS COMMUNION

"I do not know what love can be,If here we find not love divine.

That Love Who gives Himself for me.Beneath the gifts of bread and wine."

EPIPHANY

O blessed Jesus, who by the shining of astar didst manifest Thyself to them thatsought Thee, show Thy heavenly lightto us, and give us grace to follow untilwe find Thee; finding to rejoice in Thee;and rejoicing, to present to Thee ourselves, our souls, and our bodies for Thyservice forevermore; for Thine honor andglory.

THE LEGEND OF THECHRISTMAS TREE

The symbolism of the Ciirlslmas tree—pine, cedar, spruce, hemlock or balsam isinteresting. The top of the tree points toheaven. Lights placed on the tree remindus of the "Light of the World." Giftsunder the tree are placed there as symbolicleminders that all gifts are from above.An old Genrian legend tells about St.Wilfred, missionary to the Scandina\'iansin the 8th century. In the midst of acrowd of con\'erts lie hewed down a giantoak wiiich had fonnerly been the objectof their Druidic worship. As it fell backward like a tower, groaning as it splitasunder, then' stood behind it a youngfir tree, unharmed, pointing a green spireto the stars. Wilfred let the axe drop andturned to speak to the people. '"Thislittle tree, a young child of the forest,shall be your holy tree tonight. It is thewood of peace, for your houses are builtof the fir. It is the sign of an endless life,for its leaves are evei" green. See how itpoints to heaven! Let this be called thetree of the Christ-Child."
