mystical experience of those who
have entered here and gone on.
Only one of the clergy is alive to-
day who was present on that mem
orable occasion-The Right Rever-
end irwin p. johnson, retired, Bish-
op of Colorado. On that afternoon
twelve persons were confirmed and
/ believe that five of them are liv-

Gamble, Lillian Cox, Delcia Good
child, and Ellsworth Pryor.
But we have still today people
who are asking, "Why the waste
of this precious ointment" What
Of the sick and the poor? What
about the world torn with strife
and racial conflict? Why spend
money for music when the world
is starving? How can your Priest
stand before the Altar in costly
Vestments when the world is crack
ing up? Can God be pleased with
ritual and ceremony when children
are underfed and i'll housed? Our
Lord said to those Disciples, "YOu
do not understand this mystical
gift of memory. You can only see
the present. You understand the
thing from a standpoint of weight,
tabulations, statistical tables, out
ward results, but you will learn
as you know more of me and are
with me longer that man cannot
live by bread alone"
