Won Of St. Stephen's Parish FD7TEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY Our reporter went to the Episcopal Church last Sunday morn--xng in a critical frame of mind, prepared to find fault with the ser vices. He came away in a thoughtful mood. Perhaps the fact that he was impressed in spite of himself might add some force to his impressions. The one dominating thought was that the ser vice was devotional and reverent, and seemed to express the snirit of worship. Somehow you felt that you were in the presence or Almighty God. I used to think that the details of ritual' worship, were foreign to American ideals of religion, and were certainlr not Scriptural. I find that this- is inherited prejudice, and that the Bible is full of such accessories of public worship. I eame away feeling that hereafter I should go to Church to worship God and not simply to hear a sernfon, no matter how good it may te. i tnink that I know, now why a person should kneel when he prays. 1, tor one, am going to quit measuring Almighty God by the lim its of my own mind.
