A circle of his followers watched him as he spread the small roll of sheepskin before him, then tied the parchment with a purple thread, sealed it with his gem- studded seal and handed it to a waiting messenger, who mounted his camel and was away, across the desert, into the deepening dark. The scene shifts; the centuries pass. The Saxon abbot is alone in his meager library, and he scans once more the sheepskin on which the brilliant colors shine. They spell out in gold, ruby, sapphire blue, a secret message of great importance, that the student monks have written and illuminated with all care and laid before him. He forms it all into a booklet and ties it with a purple figment of silk that matches his robe. Then he reaches for his lead seal and presses the beeswax into the knot, so that the image of the mitre and the cross is plain to see. The document is ready for the fleet-footed messenger. Today the Bishop’s seal is printed on modern stationery. His letters go out in the daily mail with the insignia of his authority. Like the most ancient and most beautiful of seals, the diocesan seal is oval-shaped, with pointed ends. It is bordered with the legend Salus Cruce-salvation through the cross-and opposite Mississippi 1826, the year of the foundation of the Diocese. At the peak of the points are crosses; another cross, much larger, centers the design. The Bishop’s mitre, symbol of his office, and a magnolia tree, symbolic of Mississippi, with an eagle from the United States, fill the space. Hanging in the Bishop’s office, the seal is picked out in the glowing colors of tradition: the legend is purple on silver with red and blue on a gold background; the magnolia tree is green, decked with white blossoms. The diocesan seal, designed in the 1920’s by Charles Stietenroth of Natchez, is in the magnificent pattern of artists of centuries ago, betokening the Christian Church by its cross, according to the catholic tradition by its mitre, in the Diocese of Mississippi in the United States. 2002-03Combined Journals of Official the OneDirectory Hundred Seventy-Fifth1 and One Hundred Seventy-Sixth Annual Councils Contents The Seal of the Diocese of Mississippi ....................................................

  • From: MISSISSIPPI
    An Informal History Of St. Clement’s Episcopal Church Vaiden, Mississippi 1876 – 1976 by Emily Barksdale Humphrey p. i PREFACE “There be some who have left a name behind them and whose remembrance is sweet. And there be some who have no memorial. But their righteousness has not been forgotten and their glory shall not be blotted out.” Eccl. 44 ONE HUNDRED YEARS IN HIS HOUSE This is a story which for 100 years has stood looking eastward over the green trees of Vaiden, the Big Black River, and the eternal sunrise. It is a house that belongs to the Holy Trinity and to the many dozens of His human children whose feet have crossed its threshold with the past century, bringing their joys, griefs, fears, hopes and frustrations, and laying them down in the quiet peace of His sanctuary. Some places seem to have a memory and living spirit. We do well to keep such places holy and to seek what they have to tell us. Inescapably it is also the story of an era that has passed and of another era beginning. It is in part the story of Vaiden and of those sturdy old homes in winter with crackling fires and comfortable chairs, broad porches in summer and picket fences, winding walks and armies of squirrels and robins. It is all part of that 100 years of history which is the heritage of the Church of St. Clement’s. In order that it may not be lost it must be written down. Emily Barksdale Humphrey has happily recorded many interesting facts about our church as only one can do who has deep affection, and as one who attended the church as a child and was there baptized and confirmed.

  • John William Carlin
    John William Carlin MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR JOHN CARLIN TO THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE January 10, 1985 Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Members of the Kansas Legislature, and Fellow Kansans: Last year, I stood before you and asked you to confront the "quiet crises" threatening our State. The overcrowding of our prisons had created a crisis that threatened the integrity of our criminal justice system. The absence of an organized effort to identify and clean up toxic wastes and to prevent their continued burial left unanswered questions of safety and health consequences. The rising cost of construction of the Wolf Creek Generating Station held the dark promise of unrestrained rate increases for electric customers. Most importantly, the State faced the prospect of a decline in the quality of public education without a major investment in teacher salaries. In each of these areas the Legislature responded. In each area a consensus for action was crafted, and the first steps to address the "quiet crises" were taken. The critics of our system of representative democracy would say that crisis is required to move it to action. Such a cynical view asserts that only under extraordinary circumstances will elected representatives risk their own political self interests. We in Kansas should not settle for decision- making in a crisis environment since it forces action, but not necessarily long-term solutions. I believe that you, as the elected representatives of the people of Kansas, are motivated by more than self interest. I believe that you are, first and foremost, concerned about the future of our State and its people.
