DR.. Rhinelander Gives
Essentials of Worship

Six fundamentals Of genuine relig-
ious worship were named last night
by the Rev. Philip M. Rhinelander,
speaking before the Sunday School
Institute of the Diocese of Washing
ton at st. Johns Parish Hall. They
were:
1. worship sees God at the center
and realizes that man was made
for God and not Gbd for man.
2. Worship knows that God is
love.
3. worship must have something
to offer, as no religion that does
not offer an opportunity for sacri-
flee can be a universal religion.
4. Worship needs others to share
It.
5. Man wofships as the, priest of
all nature.
6. All worship is crowned in the
Christian Eucharist.
