George of Western North Carolina asked him when he found time to visit Burnsville, a town of about 1,500 people located in the mountains, in order to see about setting up mission work. Father Ray’s first stop when he visited Burnsville was at the local drug store where he ‘met the Epis- copalian pharmacist, who was so excited about the prospect of a mission that he phoned his wife and made plans for a conference with other interested Episcopa- lians.

Now life, love, and hope be come a great reservoir from which Christian joy This joy is so. practical. It overcomes the nega- tive destructive forces like “nerves”, 'fears”’, and “‘the long face’’. Experience teaches that a long face shortens your list-of friends. A Christian should be a veritable force of optimism. His smiling face should be a testimony that Christ lives in his Dr. Ross H. Stover Messiah Lutheran Church Philadelphia, Pa. and inspires faith” (547:. 23-25, 31-32). From the King James Version of the Bible the following passages will also be read: “For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven . . O how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day ... Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart” (Psalms 119: 89, 97, 111). The Golden Text is from Isaah: “Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beau- tiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city” (52:1). Resistance to tyrants is obedi- ence to God.
