The Home Demonstration Club
worshipped with us on this Sun
day at Grace Church. The choir
sang two beautiful anthems, snow

and Holy Art Thou. A very beau
tiful altar set, consisting Of a
cross and two candlesticks has
been presented to the church by
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Coulter and Mr..
and Mrs. Mart Uhler, and the con-
gregatiOn united in very impress
siVe dedication service of these
articles. In order for our absentee
members to enjoy this also, felt
that it would be nice to reprint
the service here in our column.
A SERVICE OF DEDICATION OF
THE ALTAR SET
To the Glory of God, to the
service of Christ and His
Church, to the awakening of
the spirit of Service.
WE DEDICATE THIS CROSS
AS a sign of Christian Unity,
as a symbol of Christian ser
vice, and in recognition that
the ability to serve and sacri-
fee is the gift of Christ.
WE DEDICATE THIS CROSS
That all who enter this house
of worship and service may be
conscious of the presence of
God.
WE DEDICATE THIS CROSS
That all who stand before it
to worship may commit their
way unto Christ and His
teaching.
WE DEDICATE THIS CROSS
That all who draw near with
faith to take His Sacrament
to their comfort, may rise to
the newness of life in Him.
WE DEDICATE THIS CROSS
That those who come to kneel
before it in the solemn vows
of matrimOny, may rise rich
in cnfrsffrroT -
walk together through the
journey of life.
WE DEDICATE THIS CROSS
That all who come with chill
dren for Baptism, may dedicate
themselves to the duties of
Christian parenthoOd
WE DEDICATE. THIS CROSS
That the True and Noble, once
present in those born here be-
fore returning to the dust may
find lOdgment and expression
in those who mourn.
WE DEDICATE THIS CROSS
Our Lord Jesus said: Neither
do men light a candle and put
it under a bushel but on a
candlestick. In order to give
light to all in the house, we
place these candlesticks upon
our table of memories.
WE DEDICATE THESE CANDLE
STICKS TO THE LIGHT OF d.
VINE LOVE AND LIFE IN OUR
LIVES.
AS a symbol of the Bible,
source of light and life and
as symbol of the Son of God,
the light of the world in whose
footsteps no one can walk in
darkness.
WE so DEDICATE THESE CAN
DLESTICKS.
He also said, "Ye are the light
of the world. Let your light so
shine before men that they
may see your good works and
glorify your Father who is in
heaven"
AS WE HAVE DEDICATED
THESE CANDLESTICKS TO
THEIR MINISTRY OF LIGHT
AND ILLUMINATION, so NOW
DO WE PLEDGE OURSELVES TO
KEEP CLOSE TO THESE SQUIRE
ES OF LIGHT, AND TO THE
CHURCH WHICH ENSHRINES
THEM, THAT OUR LIGHT MAY
SHINE BEFORE MEN.
Our newly organized Girl Scout
Troop certainly promises to be a
wonderful addition to our COM
munity. There are twenty girls en-
rolled as members, their ages
ranging from 10 to IA. Their cap
able leader is Miss Nancy Porter.
and her assistant is Mrs. Helen
Wise, who always has the interest
of youth close to her heart. The
girls, for their first service project,
made and delivered small dish
gardens to all the shut-ins in our
community. One came to the home
Of the writer for the grandmother
in our family, Mrs. Annie. Hatfield.
She has enjoyed it so much and I
am sure the other recipients did
also. These girls would like every
one to know that as a part of their
services TO their community, tbev
will be available from time to time
for errands, odd jobs, and such.
Thus, they may live up to their
motto, do a Good Turn Daily.
On Monday afternoon the Troop
went on a Bird Hike. Learning to
know and love and identify our
native birds are part of their pro-
gram.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Carlisle.
Jr., and children, Keith and Rich

and called on the Browns at Quak-
eT Lane, Delaware.
The st. JohnstOwn Aid will meet
