theme, Love, not Sacrifice:
Hosea SO. AS he unfolded this
dramatic sermon we could al
most see the picture revealed to
us through our very eyes, even
to the leading characters, the
young prophet Hosea, and his
beautiful wife, Gomarr, and the
trials that they had. When the
pastor concluded there was mois-

warm message five persons came
forward and united: Mrs. Sadie

ANCIENT RITE AT

ancient rite of the "agape" or
love feast will be revived at st.
Bartholomew's Episcopal Church,
239 Harvard st., Cambridge. At
both celebrations of the Holy
Communion at and II the wor-
shippers will bring gifts of food
to the Altar leaving them there
before kneeling for Holy Com
munion. These gifts are later dis
tributed as Thanksgiving baskets
to those members of the parish
needing them most. It follows a
first century christian custom
whe nthe early Christians had
hardly anything more to share
than food. Some of what they
brought to Church was used as
oblations in the Eucharistic feast
and the remainder taken out to
those who were even poorer than
they. And yet, none of them
lacked anything, for distribution
was made to every man accord
ing as he had need" The cele-
brant will be the Rev, Kenneth
Hughes, rector Of the parish. The
chairman of the Thanksgiving
Basket Committee is Mrs. Gret-
