The observance of Trinity Sunday is
Of more recent origin than. that of the
other important festivals. The ancient
Church thought it necessary to set
apart special day for the praises that
were celebrated every day in the
hymns. creeds and doxology. But IN
consequence of the Arian and other
heresies that is, the unbelief of Arius
and his followers who denied this mys-
terry of the Trinity-the Church
thought proper to order particular
day fer its solemn commemoration.
And this day was preferred to any
other. because it was not until after
the Ascension and the coming of the
Holy Spirit, that our knowledge of the
divine mysteries was completed. It is
the proper elimination of all the great
festivals of tha year. The Church nav
ing celebrated the Birth and the Mani
festation, the Resurrection and Ascen-
sion of our Saviour, and the descent of
the Holy Spirit, concludes them all
!: with a special service in honor of the
Holy, blessed and glorious Trinity.

advance US in the graces of the Chris

year we were ''rooted and grounded
in the great doctrines of our faith, we

Him who only can give it. "the Spirit
to think and do always such things az
are right" that with a quiet mind and
peaceful heart we may go through the
changing years.
