compute the point at which the United States
would take military action against them and
they always will stop just short of that point.
They are convinced that this country will not
get around to using the atom bomb until
after it is attacked so they feel that it is in
their power to decide where. how and when
a war with us shall start. 1t is the current
Russian policy, not only to expand the area
controlled by totalitarian Communist states as
far as possible without provoking us to war,
but also to prevent the setting up OF any ef-
fective international peace machinery that
might prevent the further forcible spread of
communism in the future.
II they find 1t strategically desirable to do
30, the Russians again temporarily will re-
verse their policy of hostility toward us and
will make certain compromises and conces-
sions, these agreements to be denounced and
abrogated when world events dictate another
change in strategy Meanwhile, they will at
tempt to keep us 50 jittery that we will con-
tinue to spend larger and larger sums on
ornaments, thus weakening our economy.
When the time Is ripe, when Russia has
developed its own atom bomb, and perhaps
some even more formidable weapon, in other
words when the Russian leaders are ready
then will come the showdown. II We attempt,
at this point, to interfere with the further
expansion Of communism and show signs that
we really will fight to prevent it, the Russians
will strike In an atomic war the side that
strikes first has an enormous, if not the de-
cisive, advantage. A few hundred well-placed
atom bombs, suddenly dropped without warn
ing on this country and on our overseas bases
could so demoralize us and create such chaos
and prevent our retaliation to such . degree,
that our expensive armaments which we now
are building virtually might be useless.

were ordered to leave the parish.
This church is somewhat notable
in colonial times for having a fe-
male sexton, with the entire ap-
prevail of the Vestry, but she was
a well married woman.
"The mother church has had
quite number of notable clergy
men officiating within it's walls.
The first Rector was a Scotsman,
the Rev. James Macgill, who
served the church from 1870 to
the time of the Revolution"
On Oct. 6, 1909, number of the
descendants of the Parson to-
gether with the congregation held
a meeting at the present church,
concentrating it's Tooth anniver-
sary. At this meeting a paper was
read by one of his descendants in
regard to the Rev. James Macgill
and his rectorship of Queen Caro-
line Parish, and three beautiful
stained glass windows were I'M
yelled. There were presented to
the church by Mrs. Henry Rosen-
berg, formerly Mary Raglan Mac
gill, daughter of DR.. Charles Mac
gill of Hagerstown and Richmond,
and Observation-Disclosures of
the Parson tsee page 220). The
large window back of the chancel
is in memory of the Parson, and
the other two-one on each side of
tin memory of her father and
of his aunt "Mollie" Macgill, who
raised him. Among the descend
ants of the Parson and their in
laws present at this meeting were:
Mrs. Charles Macgill and family
of Gainesville, Md, Mrs. Lottie
Belt Chambers and daughter Flea
nor, DR.. Alfred McGill Belt of Bal
timore, Miss Julia and McGill Belt
Of "Rock Hail." Mrs. Robt. Bridges
Of Maryland, Mrs. Rosenberg of
Galveston, Texas, and from Vir-
ginia, Mrs. Clifford Bridges, Gen.
James Macgill of Pulaski and Mrs.
Drewry of Richmond. Also among
those present were Bishop MUIR
ray of Maryland and Ia other
clergymen, two of whom were de-
scendants of the Parson - Rev.
julius Soper and Rev. Benjamin
Duvall Chambers.

church in 1912 he found it in a
good state Of preservation and in
use. In it he saw the old church
Bible, printed in London in 1901,
and, according to the inscription
On the front page, given to the
church by the Rev. Jacob Hender-
son, in 1870, when Commissary
for the western shore of the Mary
land Colony, and who married the
Parson and Sarah Hilleary Octo-
Der 8, 1880. 1t is probable that it
was on his visit for this marriage
that the Bible was presented. 1t is
in excellent state Of preservation,
but is not now used, as it is print
ed in the old English and quite
difficult to read.

"A SCdICillSIlI III d ISCeIlC DEN II
MEL article to the effect that cal
len Bowie Davis, of Greenwood,
who was greatly interested in edu-
cation, in agriculture and in reli-
gion, being an active member of
Queen Caroline Parish Church"
brought the SENTINEL numerous
inquiries about the location of
Queen Caroline Parish.
We found the answer in John
McGill's Genealogical Record of
The MacGill-McGill Family of
America" of which we wrote last
week. AS there are many, both in
this county and Howard, who are
descendants of the founders of this
interesting old church across the
Patuxent we quote from the book !:
"The Rev. James Macgill was
the first recor of Queen Caroline
Parish, which he served from 1870
to 1776, when he retired, owing to
the fact that the Revolution re-
suited in cutting off the support of
the churches in the American colo
MES from the English government.
He died three years later. The
church in which the Parson preach
ed was named Christ Church. In
the Maryland Historical Magazine
of June, 1926, Henry ]. Berkeley
has the following to say in regard
to this church and parish:
1.-The mother church of st.
Johns, Ellicott City, Howard
County was Christ Church, located
at Guilford, then Anne Arundel
County. The church, known as
Queen Caroline Parish, was con-
stituted out of the "heads" of All
Hallow's, st. AIMS and st. Mar
garet's parishes, themselves con-
stituted by an Act of the Assembly
of 1892, comprising all the terri
tory to the northwestward of the
Western Bay Shore, in what, then
included the boundaries of Anne
Arundel County, extending to the
upper waters of the main Patux-
ent, and to the upper reaches of
the South Branch of the Patapsco
River.
"'Queen Caroline was estab-
lished by Act of the Assembly in
the year 1928, and covered a wide,
and at that date sparsely peopled
region. The first church was
frame building Of small size, later
replaced by a brick one.'
"The duties of a vestryman in
pre-Revolutionary days were of
much more autocratic nature than
at the present writing; they lev
led poll taxes of tobacco on the
ta&ables of the parish, or as to-
bacco decreased, shillings; they
paid the sheriff's wage, appointed
inspectors of tobacco. Special
taxes on each poll were levied
when a new chapel-of-ease was TO
be built, they collected a poll tax
on bachelors by order of the As
sembly (1763), they superintendent
carefully the erection of new
buildings and chapels for the par
ish and when they were finished,
arbitrarily assigned to the parish
toner's seatings, which sometimes
were not in accord with the wishes
of those who were to hold them.
Furthermore the Pensioners were
ordered to attend regularly on
Sundays, and if they did not do 50
were very properly fined. At GER
tain seasons the Vestry sat in
Court on the morals Of the neigh
borhood, while the men and wom-

State Seal Tercentenary
Falls On August 49, 1o48
History prepared By Department of Information Annapo

and used officially. The diverse, or
front, Shows Lord Baltimore in
armor, riding mis- horse adorned
with the family arms. In the fore
ground flowers grow in the sand at
the waters edge. The inscription
in Latin reads "Cecil, Lord Pro-
prietor of Maryland and Avalon" !"
(Avalon was the first Lord Balti-
more's colony in Newfoundland.
He left it after short stay be-
cause of its "bad fare of winter"
but it continued as a family prop
erty.)
The reverse, or pack of the seal,
which is that used today is gener-
ally more familiar to Marylanders.
This shows shield WITH the Cal
vert and Grassland Arms quar-
tered calvert was Lord Balti-
more's surname, and Grassland
that Of his mothers family
Above the shield is an earl's coro-
net, full-faced helmet showing
the proprietor's authority over the
colony, and ducal crown with two
half bannerets. The shield is sup
ported by a farmer and fisher
man, symbols of the two estates
Maryland and Avalon. Behind the
shield and coronet is an ermine-
lined mantle. X
On the scroll under the shield is
the state motto "Fatti Maschii Pa
role Femme" This short Italian
phrase has been occasionally the
subject of controversy. On one oc-
casion, a group of feminists tried
to have it changed.
The motto is translated various
ly: Manly Deeds, Womanly
Words" Words are Masculine.
Deeds Feminine" Courage and
Courtesy" and words are Women
and Deeds Men," In any interpre-
tation, the female is somehow SUBJ
ordinated to the male, which in
these days is not necessarily so.
The state seal is unique among
those of other states in that it is
strictly of a heraldic nature. 1t is
the only one with an Italian motto
and is probably. the. earliest from
the point of view of design.
