Sc. ANDREWS CHURCH

Sunday next, June 18th, is the
feast of the Most Holy Trinity, the
day on which we call to mind the
ineffable mystery of the Godhead,
as reveald by our Lord Jesus Christ
when He was here in His Humanity.
In the Scriptures we are told that
God made man after His own image
and likeness, today certain men,
so-called leaders of what they call
modern Christianity" are endea-
voring to make God after their own
image and likeness, and a very sorry
result they achieve--a God whom 70
one can reverence. So Trinity Sun
day gives US the opportunity of raj
lying to our standard, and attesting
our fidelity to the Faith once given
to the Saints, enshriued in God 5
