St. Thomas Episcopal Rec.
tor breaches Special
Sermon,

DR.. c. Ernest Smith, observed the
thirty-third anniversary of his rector
ship at st. Thomas Episcopal Church
yesterday morning by preaching a
special sermon on the text; 2 Cor,
vii: I'VE then. as workers together
with Him, beseech you also that ye
receive not the grace of God in vain"
He explained the text as falling
into three parts. Workers. Together,
With Him, Alone"
I'VE are workers, not spectators as
were the 1sraelites on the Red Sea
shore when the hosts Of Pharoah fol-
lowed after them to destroy them.
Then God spoke and said they could
see their foes no more forever again"
Work Greatest Blessing.
There are some people who think
of work as a curse" he said. 1T is
one of the greatest blessings. Yet
there are those who think that work
came as the result Of the fall in the
Garden of Eden. These have for
gotten that God placed man in the
garden to dress it and keep it. But
this meant work.
Together. In brotherly love, in
harmony, not pulling apart. not pur-
suing independently ones own aims
and ends. No country does this, if
it would long retain its national ex-
istence No army does it, none of
our vast industrial corporations do It..

In closing, let US hope that the
present high standing of our school
system, for which some of us worked
SO hard in bringing it from near the
bottom to first place in the State Of
Maryland, will not be retarded, but
permit me to say the responsibility of
carrying out the proposed school pro-
gram rests singly and squarely upon
the elected county commissioners.
The former commissioners met and
dealt with the same problem many
times, having been required to provide
for an average of 500 additional school
children each year. 1t is one Of the
duties you requested the people to en-
trust to you when you ran for Office.
Now, why vacillate the first time you
are called upon to meet the same, as
