DIR. John Baker To Con-
tinue AS Senior Warden
Of Christ Church

The members of Christ Episco-
pal Church of Milford met in the
Parish house on Monday night,
November 13, to carry out the
necessary agenda of the Annual
Parish Meeting. The high spot of
this agenda was the election OF a
senior warden, junior warden, and
five vestrymen.
DIR. John Baker was reelected
as senior warden for the seventh
consecutive time. Horace Ridings
was elected to succeed C. Harvey
Wood as junior warden. Those
elected as vestrymen were: Cal
win Ball, Remsen Barnard, Geof-
frey Fernald, Donald Heinold and
Gordon Kicker. Acting as chair
man of this area of the proceed
ings was James Cresson, chair
man of the nominating committee.
The Reverend E. John Dyer, rec
tor of the church, opened the meet
ing with a short worship service.
He followed this with few re-
marks pertinent to his ministerial
philosophy and words of apprecia-
ton for those who have helped
make his beginnings in this par
ish pleasant and successful.
Financial reports were made by
James Humes, parish treasurer,
Christ Church Improvement Fund.
The secretary of the Parish
Planning and Development Com
mittee, Francis p Leithiser, gave
Ia progress report on that commit
tees drive toward the fulfillment
of definite need in the parish's
immediate future-a new building
program to house the rapidly-in-
creasing church's population.
Horace Wiley, chairman OF the
Everymember Canvass. Committee,
distributed materials pertinent to
that program. He also made a few
observations emphasizing the need
flor increased pledges in the COM
ing year to cover the increased
costs resulting from a speedup of
the Church's activities. He also an
nounced Sunday, November 10, as
Loyalty Sunday-the day when all
members of the church are to pre-
sent themselves at one of the SER
vices in order to place their 1862
pledge cards on the aims basin.
Closing remarks were made by
C. Harvey Wood, retiring as the
parish's junior warden; and by
DR.. John B. Baker, reelected as
parish senior warden.
The lighter elements of the eve
ning's program were in the form
of refreshments and a short inter-
lude of entertainment provided by
Horace Ridings and Mrs Godfrey
Fernald

You are invited to this fast grow
ing Sunday School where only
Bible centered literature is used,
literature that sets forth the, Faith
that once delivered to the Saints
Where Christ has the central place
and where the four Historical
Facts of His work of Redemption
is believed and taught, His Virgin
Birth, His Death on the Cross, and
His Bodily Resurrection from the
dead, and His Coming again to set
up His kingdom here on earth,
and capable consecrated teachers
teach these great truths of the
Bible. There is a class for you, II

11:OO A. M. Worship Service Ser
mon by the Pastor. Sermon topic:
Life Preserved" John 17:6-15.
This is the second i'm series OF
Messages on John II, one of the
greatest in the entire Bible. These
verses 6-15 are the words of Christ,
in His prayer to the Father just
before His death ON the Cross.
They give us in His words the pur-
pose of God for the believer, that he
should be preserved in the. world
and from the world until he is
taken out of the world, his time is
to be spent while he is in the world
witnessing for Christ to the world.

day. Here 1 would have yoQ otnnd
face to face with Jesus Christ
listening to His soul
words as / find them In the StAn-
dard Revised Version Ct the Bible.
These are His challenging de-
mands: Judge not that you b
not judged. With the judgements
you pronounce you will be judged
and the measure you give wi11 be
the measure You get. Why do you
see the speck that is In your
brothers eye but do not notice the
log that is in your own eye? Or
how can you say to your brother.
Let me take the speck out ct
your eye, when there is a log In
your own eye? You hypocrite, first
take the log out OF your own eye
and then you will see clearly to
take the speck out OF your broth
er's eye"
The third strand in the braid of
our thinking together is offered In
a poem by Edgar Guest This
poem stresses the thought that Il
we will take a walk around our
selves" we will find that the speck
in our neighbor's eye is very much
like the speck in ours and that
his faults are but the grim re-
Elections of our own. With this m
mind let us examine Guests lines:
led my dog to looking glass
At once he barred his jaw
IL ,s~1, =, IL
not pass
Unchallenged what he thought
he saw.
At first l laughed to think that
he
Could by himself be SO deceived,
And that another dog should be
So openly with hate received.
And then / thought: Such
.growls as these
And such resentment harshly
shown
Must come from ugly faults he
sees
Not knowing that they are his
own.
He fears this dog will take away
The bone he wants himself to
chew,
AS he himself on any day,
If given the chance, would sure
ly do
Perhaps we, too, in others see
The selfishness we long have
known
And never think that it may be
The grim reflection of our own.
Well, after reading all this, are
you still in the mood OF being
critical of others? You may whiS-
per the answer to your own heart.

"TAKE A WALK AROUND YOUR
SELF"
'Great God, l ask Thee for no
meaner pelf
Than that l may not disappOint
myself"
Henry ThOreau.
When I was a lad and daily at
tended that proverbial "little red
school house" / was a witness Of
how sometimes mischievous lads
united the hair-bows OF girls sit
ting in seats ahead OF them and
loOsened their braided hair into
their three component strands.
A little bit like that is the pro-
cess OF my thinking today. While
I shall offer but a single basic
thought, this, too, has separate
strands, three separate lines OF
thinking inviting attention Now
the single basic thought I offer
today is the challenge not to be
too critical OF others lest we con-
denim ourselves, and the three
strands OF it-well, let us con-
slider them separately.
Here, 1 would have the first
strand express itself in the lines
of a poem which friend gave to
me some years ago. 1t is titled,
"Take a Walk Around Yourself
and here are its words:
When you're critizing others
And are finding here and there
A fault or two to speak of,
Or a weakness to lay bare;
When you're finding fault with
others
Or accusing some of pelf
1t is time that you went out
To take a walk around yourself.
There is much of human failure
On the average in us all,
And a lot of grave shortcomings
. In the short ones and the tall.
And when we think of evils
Men should lay upon the shelves
1t is time we all went out
To take walk around ourselves.
We need SO often in this life
This balancing of scales,
This seeing how much in us
wins
And how much in us fails
Therefore, lest you Judge an
other
Or seek to put him on the shelf,
1t would be a splendid plan to
Take a walk around yourself.
And if you will do that, if you
will take walk around your
self" and closely examine your
thinking and your conduct, you
will have little heart to be severe
ly critical of others
This brings us to the second
strand of our thinking together to-
