Nobler Than Martyrdom

The Christian church has always
honored her martyrs, the men and
women and children too who have
died rather than give up their
faith. We are inclined to put mar
tyrs up in the highest bracket OF
the saints, partly because most
OF US are sadly aware that We
are not the stuff Of which martyrs
are made. But Paul pulls us up
short. Even to be burned at the
stake for righteous cause is still
nothing at all. il there is no love
behind and in the action.

Spring Time In Virginia
By R J. SCOTT

It's springtime in Virginia now
And her soft morning light
Brings to my heart restless urge
To share her moods so bright.
The flutes of magic call to me
From valleys and each hill,
To bid we say farewell to cares
And wander where | Will.
On winding paths through green cool Woo
And meadows green and sweet,
Where buttercups and violets
Bloom fair around my feet.
In spring there's beauty everywhere
To fill each passing hour
And cheer my heart with Joys untold
From the seasons dover
The orchard blooms, the air perfumes
From petals pink and white;
The leaves on trees are young and green
And rustic in the light.
On banks above small rushing streams
The springtime flowers bloom
Where Natures weavers weave for me
Fair patterns on her loom.
There's music in the very air,
Each little breeze that's blown
Brings to my ears sweet melodies
Which blend in charm and tone.
4 ne DlrQS Tor me make sym HOHleS
To usher in the dawn;
With songs Of love they thrill my heart
Until the daylight's gone.
Then from the marshes can hear
The bull frogs send up prayers
AS night enfolds the ending day
And banishes its cares.
| left behind all cares today
And followed with will
Where mother Nature led me on
Mid wood and vale and hill
I've lived alone with her today
Amid enchanted bowers;
I've vorshped at her vernal shrjnc
Through all her passing hours.
With JOY filled heart today I've trod
Her happy care-free way.
For love and JOY fill all the world
In Virginia May.

Remember. when ST Paul or

pated in a marriage ceremony;
that at the time of said purported
marriage the infant plaintiff was
married, which marriage had not
been dissolved or annulled, and
