Epiphany Will Hold
Communion Service
Sunday Night
Evening Rite Planned
For Benefit of
War Workers

An unusual service in the Ameri-
can Episcopal Church will be inau-
gurated Sunday night at the Church
Of the Epiphany when holy COM
munion will be celebrated at pm.
1t has been customary to have
holy communion in the morning.
and every Sunday at Epiphany there
is a celebration at 8 am, with an
other service on the first Sunday Of
the month at IL am.
Due to the many war workers
and the night workers in the city,
it was felt that at least once a
month there should be night serv-
ice when such people could COM
mune. who otherwise might be de-
prived.
While this has been practiced in
England, particularly since the war
started. it is believed that Epiphany
will be the first large city Episcopal
church to have this communion
regularly In America. Provision
will be made for those who already
have communed to leave. At the
first service the celebrant will be
the Rev. Hunter M. Lewis, associate
rector. who will preach the sermon.
He will be assisted by the Rev. D.
Wellington Curran.
At the IL o'clock service, Sunday
morning. the preacher will be Col.
Harry Lee Virden of the staff OF the
Chief of ChaplainS.

mind, a new sense of interdepend-
ence and brotherhood, along with
personal freedom. Who else offers
this except Christ? 1t is His an
nounced program for the race
Then present fears and hatreds
must be supplanted by an over
mastering love. Who but Christ
has exemplifed and can implant
such a love? Only thus may be
created the unselfishness that will
make possible the solidarity OF So
ciety.
A Fellowship Of Fellowship.
Such a prospect stirs the deepest
pulses of the human heart. All
of US dream of a new and better
day, and of a new and better way
of living. 1t can come to pass only
when a chastened world decides to
follow Christ and to obey His laws.
Up to the present hour, the most
beautiful examples of organized
good life have been sincerely
Christian communities. There peace
has prevailed. and good will and
neighborliness. Justice has been
the rule and freedom for the high
est expression of every personality.
The thing we vaguely call democ-
racy has been operative, for when
"one is your Master, even Christ u
then "all ye are brethren"
The civilization we seek for the
postwar tomorrow is q great fel-
lowship, made such by being a
fellowship of those who seek to
walks the way of Christ, and to do
whatever He would like to have
them do. What men will not do
for self-interest or even for patriot
ism, they will gladly do for the
dear sake of Jesus. When He Is
life's handspring the times are never
out Of joint.
Such is the present, pertinent and
portentous lesson OF the triumphal

entry, our days test; wherein Jesus
| offered Himself to His nation for
the last time as King; and was at
first acclaimed and then rejected.
Once more, in these troubled and
terrible days, Christ presents Him
self as the Leader who is also the
Saviour. Are we great enough to
receive Him. and thus establish a
better standard of life amid all
mankind?
There is deep meaning in the
manifest evidence that this final
ovation was anticipated and ar
ranged by Jesus. Indeed, the last
few days Of the Masters life, in
cluding the rendezvous in the up
per room. were carefully prepared
for in advance, with a system of
signals among His friends. He
could not let His enemies have
their own way prematurely. So
the ass colt was ready for Him
on Palm Sunday as He journeyed
in triumph amidst the huzzahing
crowds, down the slope of Olivet
to Jerusalem. On the preceding
day, Jesus and His band had trudged
the Is miles up the lonely, steep,
hot. stony and dangerous road from
Jericho; now, for the less than a
mile from Bethany to Jerusalems
gates. he would ride in state, yet in
humility, on lowly ass.
As in the Orient
Warm -blooded, emotional and
mercurial. the Orient loves a dem
onstration. I have seen a two-day
outburst for independence in Cairo
that exceeded, but resembled the
triumphal entry. The frantic
populace, leaping. shouting. sing
ing, clapping their hands and play
ing their weird musical instru-
ments, stripped the branches from
the trees lining the streets, and
threw their abeyahs, or cloaks, on
the ground, all in a perfect frenzy
of enthusiasm. OF such sort was
the ovation given Jesus at the tri-
umphal entry. The crowds were
mostly pilgrims present for the
Passover, perhaps largely Galileans;
in the city itself the demonstration
petered out. To the mind of the
reader of this dramatic story there
recurs the other tale of the boy
Jesus first Passover visit to the
capital.
The King had His hour Yet in
the midst of it He wept-wept over |
the city that He loved; the pride
of the patriots; the joy of the
piouS, the hope Of the nation. IF |
thou hadst known the things
which belong unto peace!" He cried.
His beloved capital had missed it's
one great opportunity. 1t had re-
jected, and soon was to cruelty, its
rightful King. Ali the mass
blunders of classes and cliques and |
Of society itself
Are we, too, in another hour OF
destiny. going to miss our chance;
or shall we enthrone Christ as the
actual ruler of our individual lives
and of our collective life?

We have watched, with grim as
