On October 23 at ? a. m., "The Chapel of The Holy Comforter" wild bejfin the first of its regular services in the Andrews Library, witih morning prayer and celebration of Holy Communion. The Rev. A. Rufus Morgan will conduct (the service, with William Bolton assisting. Mayer Arnold Derrcberry and the town board of Andrews have granted use of one of the unused ground--flo<or rooms for these ser vices. Members of the congrega tion have painited and redecorated the room with appropriate fixtures to accommodate the Episcopal form of worship -there. Services will be on the following schedule: 2nd Sunday each month ? 7:30 p. m.. 4th Sunday each month ? 9:00 a. m. <Holy Communion). Alt'hough comparatively little is known in Western N. C. of the Episcopal Church, it is a church which embraces large congrega tions throughout the U. S. and the world. Its history dates back to. and is part of the original Univer sal Church founded by Jesus Christ, and organized in the year 29, ten days after our Lord left the eaiith. The succession of Bishops from the Apositles' day has never been lost to the church. The Rev. J. Milton Richardson. Atlanta. Ga., says of the Church: "In the simplicity and beauty of the Episcopal ritual an effort is made to make it easy for a man ? to find God, and difficult for him to forget God. ?f.iusic ... is de signed as an adjuct to worship, so that men feel they have found God, rather than having their at tention coneentra/ted on the music only. ; Likewise each sermon is an effort to give some disclosure of God ... to draw aside the cur tain so that a congregation may see God. while the minister him seli is concealed in the folds of the curtain. The ritual of the Episcopal Church appeals to the eye as well as to the ear. It believes in the power of symbols to suggest religious truths and to create a sacred atmosphere. The altar in the chancel is the visual focus of the church, to remind all that what 'takes place there is a ser vice of Christ's institution, and that worship means offering our selves to God". The candles at each end of the altar are to re mind of the Light of the World. "A cross is placed upon the altar i to symbolize that Chrisit died for us. The flowers symbolize the joy of religion, the beauty of God's universe and the truth of man's resurrection after death. The altar is a great teaching picture. To the side of the chancel, the Holy Bible rests upon the lectern, and there the Scripture lessons are read. "On the other side, is the pul pit. where the truths of the Bible arc explained and interpreted. Both the Bible and the pulpit are guides to lead mail to stand in humble self-dedication before the altar of God. All the beauty and dignity of this ritua! and symbolism is to create a profound sense of j God in the heart of worshipers." | Byrum Announces Sunday Services The Rev. R. Delbert Byrum, pastor of First Methodist Church has announced thai his sermon topic for Sunday, will be, "World Order ? .But How?" Sunday School will be held at 9:45. The Methodist Youth Fellowship will meet at 6 o'clock on Sunday evening for a program and supper. Evening worship will be at 7:30, and the pastor will preach on "Man's Supreme Search".
