I&ngal ^roBs OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE KING Miss Lillun Janet Soper, Editor EDITORIAL OFFICE, 6407 32d Street, N. W., Washington 15, D. C. WHAT ARE YOU WORTH? "Certain chemists with a flair for statistics figured out the chemical constitution of the average man, thus: An average man contains enough fat to make seven bars of soap, enough iron to make a medium-sized nail, enough sugar to fill a shaker, enough lime to whitewash a chicken coop, enough phosphorus to make 2,200 match tips, enough magnesium for a dose of magnesia, enough potassium to explode a toy cannon, together with a little sulphur; at market rates these chemical ele ments could be obtained for $.98. That was some years ago, but in these days of in flation a man must be worth fully $2.00; but what are you worth, and, in particular what are you worth to God? God created man "in His own image." There is a kinship between God and man that does not exist between Himself and any other being that He has created. This kinship with God makes man unique in His creation. Note, four respects in which man is of unparalleled value in his essential worth: 1-Man has a moral sense with which he differentiates between right and wrong; he feels a sense of satisfaction when he does what he knows to be right, and a sense of dissatisfaction, or even re morse when he is conscious he has done wrong. 2-Man has an affinity with God, and is capable of realizing God in his life. 3-Man finds his full-fill-ment, the comple tion of his personality in God. 4-Man is capable of worship. The Incarnation, the fact that God the Son became man without being untrue to His divine nature, emphasises the true dignity of man. What you are worth to God is revealed not only in His creation of you in His own image, but in His redemption of you. In the world today we see cruelty that man inflicts on his fellow man, and wonder if human beings capable of so great evil can be of any worth-of-love to an all-holy God. It is man's essential dignity and worth to God, his inherent capacity for that which is noble which makes his cruelty so revoltingly tragic. True, "all have sinned and do come short of the glory of God." Yet, the love of God extends not only to man as God intended him to be, but to man as he actually is. This is the thought that impressed itself on St. Paul—not merely that Christ died for us, but the fact that "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Conscious, that we come so far short of the glory of God, we cry, "Jesu, what didst thou find in me, that thou hast dealt so lovingly?" This redeeming love of God is the central theme of our religion, all the rest that constitutes Christianity revolves around that one supreme truth. It is in our re demption far more than in our creation, that we come face to face again with that love so amazing so divine. Man's value to God is revealed in the fact that the Son of Man came to "seek and to save that which was lost." —Selected PUBUCATION OFFICE, Jackson, Tenn.

    History of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland Kingsley Smith, Historiographer

    History of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland Kingsley Smith, historiographer The Origins "O Lord, you will defend them as with a shield." --Psalm 5:15 This motto on the great seal of Maryland could apply also to our Diocese, because from its beginning in the 17th Century the Church has put its trust in God through hardships, temptations and divisions. This robust faith in God as our defender has assured the survival of the heirs of the English Reformation and at the same time has made Maryland a shining example of toleration for a diversity of religions, cultures, politics and nationalities. As the Episcopal Church has received from this tradition, so also has it contributed to it. The first Christian worship in Maryland was in 1608, when Captain John Smith of Virginia explored the Chesapeake Bay and saw to it that each day his crew assembled for a psalm and devotions from the Book of Common Prayer. Virginia planted a trading post with a chaplain, the Rev. Richard James, on Kent Island in 1632. Then the proprietary colony, granted by charter from Charles I to the Calvert family (the Lords Baltimore, who were Roman Catholics) began in 1634 at St. Mary's City and provided for both Roman Catholics and Protestants -- a sensible and charitable arrangement far ahead of its time. In 1650 the first permanent Anglican ministry began with the Rev. William Wilkinson at St. George's in St. Mary's County. The English Civil War, which led to the beheading of the Archbishop of Canterbury and of King Charles, and to the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell, had a remarkable result in the colony.
  • Study: Racism in the Anglican And

    Study: Racism in the Anglican And

    Our History Racism in the Anglican and Episcopal Church of Maryland By Mary Klein, diocesan archivist and Kingsley Smith, historiographer. The Anglican Church in colonial Maryland and the Episcopal Church in the State have been deeply embedded in racism from the beginning, and have been in denial about the Church’s role in slavery and its racist aftermath—tolerating and then accepting it, depending on it and even blessing it (Much of the material which tell us the story is found in our diocesan archives, named to honor the late F. Garner Ranney.) For all its ironies and ambiguities, the Proprietary Colony granted to the Calvert family in the 17th Century really did establish an unusual system of religious toleration, proclaiming, though not always obeying, the radical notion that Christian disagreements about doctrine and practice should not literally be death or life matters. But this glimmer of decent respect for others did not prevent the colonial system from exploiting labor, at first as indentured servants, and by 1638 as chattel slaves. Soon the law was that all slaves were Africans, and all Africans were legally slaves unless they had solid evidence of manumission. In 1692, to guard against papist plots and the threats of dissenters, the process of establishing the Church of England began, so that by 1702 only Anglicans could hold public office, the several vestries were in effect the local governments, and all free men (and all slaves, male and female) were taxed at 40 pounds of tobacco per annum to build the churches and pay the parsons—tobacco that was raised largely by slave labor.
