Precepts of the Church A communicant should remember that obedience is the foundation of virtue, and should therefore set himself to keep the Ten Commandments, sum marized as they are by our Lord in the Law of Love to God and to our neighbors, and to obey the Precepts of t he Church. As commonly set forth among P rayer-Book Churchmen, these are : "1. To keep holy all Sundays and greater Feast Days, especially by being present at the Lord's own service of holy communion. (Prayer Book, p. xxviii.) "2. To observe the fast days of the Christian year, abstaining from flesh meat on all Friday::;, unless Christmas falls on that day. (Prayer Book, p. xxviii. ) "3. To confess our sins, when our conscience is troubled, to our rector, or some other minister of God's Word. (Prayer Book ccxxxxi.) "4. To receive holy communion at Easter, and at least twice a year besides. "5. To pay tithes of our goods to t he Church. "6. Not to marry wit hin the forbidden degrees of kin, nor outside the fellowship of Chr istian folk, n or during Advent and Lent." II. Love and Loyalty Obedience to the Ten Commandments and to the Precepts of the Church means love and loyalty; and disobedience means the opposite. Love to God, first, even as Christ says, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments"; and "Love is the fulfi lling of the law." But love to God's Church, the kingdom of heaven seeking men on earth, the bride of Christ, Christ's body, the nillar and ground of the truth, the mother of us all, follows on love to God : even as a great saint says. "He cannot have God for his Father who refuses the Church as his mother. And if we love the Church. our mother. we shall be loyal to her in small things as in g-reat. W hen she has expressed her mind, we shall be governed by it. set ting aside our own prejudices: and the test will be. not 'What I like.' but 'What the Church aopoints'." For the Church has the mind of Christ. Such love and loyalty will help us to express love to our fel lows: and we cannot go far wrong if we honestly strive to do God's will. set forth in the Holy Scrip ture and in the tradition of His kingdom. Doing the will, we shall know t he doctrine. III. The Lord's Se rvice on the Lord's Day From t he beginning, the Catholic Church has hal lowed the Lord's Day by the celebration of the Lord's own service, the Holy Communion, the Holy Eucharist, commonly called the Mass (Acts 20 :7). The Prayer Book, of course, provides for that every Sunday morning, appointing a collect, epistle and gospel, and ordering that the sermon be preached in the midst of the communion service. (P. B., pp. 52 and 225.) A good churchman will strive to be present at Holy Communion every Sunday morn ing at least. No other observance of Sunday can take the place of that; and willfu neglect of that d\ltY is deadly sin. One is not bound to receive the Blessed Sacrament whenever present at its ad ministration, though more frequent communions are most desirable; but to say Amen at the Giving of Thanks, to unite in the Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving, is a sacred and joyful obligation, from which only sickness, imperative calls to works of mercy, or inability by reason of distance, can excuse. IV. Holy Baptism Baptism Is the Sacrament of Entrance into Christ's Church, the naturalization into the king dom of heaven. Our Lord ordained it for believers and their households. (St. Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:41, and 16 :33.) It is the Gospel anti type of circum cision, which was administered to Jewish boys eight days old. Christian parents should bring the chil dren God has given them to the font as early as possible, that there they may receive "the everlast ing benediction of God's heavenly washing," and be "made members of Christ, the children of God, and inheritors of the kingdom of heaven," through that regenerating sacrament. There should be three godparents for each child, two of the child's own sex; all should be communicants; and parents can stand as sponsors for their own children. The amount of water used in baptism is indifferent, so long as water is actually applied to the body "in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," whether by pouring or dipping, it is valid. Except in case of sickness, baptism should always be administered in church; but in an emer gency any lay person anywhere may baptize a child, or an adult who has desired it. Persons so baptized, however, should be publicly "received into the congregation of Christ's Church" as soon there after as possible. v. Holy Matrimony Holy matrimony is the lifelong union of a Chris tian woman to a Christian man for the establish ment of a Christian home and the bringing of chil dren into the world. God in His Church has for bidden marriage within certain degrees of kinship or affinity. (See "Table of Forbidden Degrees.") To solemnize a joyful sacrament like marriage in penitential seasons like Advent and Lent is un seemly, unless there be grave cause. Morning is the best time of day for a marriage service, and the church is the best place, to the end that the newly wedded pair may receive Holy Communion directly after the nuptial blessing. If the wed ding is in the afternoon or evening, or at the bt·ide's home, the bridegroom and bride should re ceive the Holy Communion on the morning of that day. When an evening wedding in church is de sired, notice must be sent to women guests to come with heads covered, according to the Scriptural precept. The date for a wedding should never be determined without consulting the rector as far in advance as possible. because of the multitude of his engagements. The only proper minister to sol emnize a marriage is the rector of the parish to which the bride belongs; but at the request of the family, he may invite a priest or bishop who is a family friend to assist at the service. It is im proper for the family to extend such an invitation, or to desire an outsider to solemnize the ceremony; and clergy are bound to avoid intrusions into other parishes on such occasions. All expenses for music, etc., are paid by the bride's family. The provisions of the civil law as to licenses must be strictly observed; and two wi~ nesses must be present to sign the parish record. Clandestine marriages are always to be discouraged. The bride should be given in marriage by her near est kinsman or friend. The Church does not sol emnize the marriage of unbaptized or divorced persons. VI. Christian Burial Funerals should always be held in the church; and in a city, unless there is special reason for go ing to the cemetery, it is convenient that the whole service should be said before the altar, committal included. The time should never be determined until after consultation with the clergy, for fear of conflicting appointments. For funerals of chil dren seven years old and under, white is the color, appropriate to their unsullied baptismal innocence. For children from 7 to 14, purple may be used. For older persons the altar should be vested in black, but may be adorned with flowers. Hymns intended for All Saints' should not be chosen, as the best of dying Christians put their trust in the mercy of God toward penitent sinners. At the funeral of a communicant it is well to provide a Celebration of the Holy Communion. Needless ex travagance and display should be discouraged, and the well-to-do should set an example of moderation to their poorer brethren. Christian instinct, agreeing with Jewish custom, remembers the dead in prayers; and the great sac rifice of praise and thanksgiving is the best time for such remembrance. An ancient practice pro vides for Requiem Masses on the third, seventh and thirtieth days after death, and on every anniver sary. The clergy are glad to respond freely to requests for such observances. VII. Confession and A b solutio n Our Lord Jesus Christ hath left power in His Church to absolve all sinners who truly repent and believe in Him. That power is committed to His priests by the bishop, at their ordination; "Receive the Holy Ghost for the office and work of a priest in the Church of God, now committed unto thee by the imposition of our hands. Whose sins thou dost forgive, they are forgiven; and whose sins thou dost retain, they are retained." (Prayer Book, p. 522.) Persons whose consciences are unquiet are urged to come to some priest to open their grief (Prayer Book, p. 241); and the canons of the Church of England prescribe the severest punish ment for any priest who violates the sacred confi dences of such communications. The use of Sacra mental Confession, i. e., specific self-accusation be fore God in the presence of a priest to the end that absolution may be obtained, is wholly voluntary in the Anglo-Catholic Communion; and people are left free to choose their confessors. The experi ence of millions shows that it is wise and profitable to use this gr'hcious ministry regularly. Since the English rule requires a t leas t three communions in the year, one does well who makes at least three confessions, before Christmas and Easter, and per haps at All Saints'. Many find monthly confessions helpful. We should not misuse this means of grace by making it an occasion of morbid intl·ospection or perverted self-consciousness; and we need not fear curious questionings, or breach of the seal of secrecy which binds both priest and penitent. It is not a pleasant nor an easy task to make one's conf<.ssion; but for that very reason it is a whole some medicine, and a test of the reality of our repentance. Never say a word of criticism of the practice until you have tried it conscientiously. VIII. Church Work Every adult parishioner should be enrolled in one of the parish organizations for prayer and good works, and should be doing something by way of personal service in the kingdom of God. A traveler in the Rocky Mountains, buying his ticket for the overland mail coach, learned that there were three classes; he took a first-class ticket, but discovered that all the places were open indiscriminately to first, second and third-class passengers. Complain ing of this, the coachman said, "Just you wait, pardner; it's all right, you'll see!" At the foot of the first steep ascent, the coachman called out: "First-class folks, keep your seats; second-class, get out and walk; third-class, get out and push!" We have too many first and second-class passengers in all our parshes; but we need those who will push. Are you one? If not, resolve to change, and unite yourself with some organization for ac tive service. Read the Parish Year Book and see where you can be of use; consult the clergy; plan to do something as well as to give something, and you will find your religion meaning a thousand times more to you hereafter. IX. Sick Calls When some one in the family is sick, and wishes a call from one of the clergy, word to that effect should be sent, by note or telephone. We cannot know of the need unless we are informed, for we are not clairvoyants. We always hasten to answer such messages, rejoicing that we have words of comfort and benediction to bring. Never hesitate for fear of "troubling" us; that is part of our regu lar duty, and we are glad to do it. If you wish the blessed sacrament, say whether a private cele bration is desired, or communion with the reserved sacrament. In either case, a table should be pre pared in the sick room, standing three feet or three feet six inches high, covered with a white cloth, adorned with lights and a cross, and furnished with a cruet of fresh water. At a private celebration, there should be two at least to receive with the sick person; and arrangements should be made, if possible, to give the priest a cup of coffee after the service, as he comes fasting. X. The Clergy Your Friends The clergy are always "your servants for Jesus' sake"; and you have a r ight to t urn to t hem for sympathy in your joys and your sorrows, for ad vice for any spiritual ministration which Mother Church provides, for brotherly counsel, for all the offices of friendship. We are glad to render these services to our own people or to strangers who seek them from us in the Name of our Lord and Master, and t he office hours set apart daily, a nd the telephone over which special appointments can be made, are to facilitate such opportunities. We are ready also to come to you if you send for us. XI. The Life of Love To keep faith is as really a Christian's duty as to obey the Commandments; and the Bible is t he Rule of Faith. A good churchman will therefore be a devout Bible student, reading something from his Bible daily for devotional purposes, and medi tating on what he has read, but also learning how to compare Scripture with Scripture, familiarizing himself with all the parts of the divine library in their mutual connections, searching for explana tions of the hard things, and always remembering that an interpretation which contradicts any article of the faith is thereby proved false and is to be rejected at once. He prays, in the Litany, to be delivered from false doctrine, heresy and schism, and he must help to answer his own prayer. He will therefore never turn away from the worship which Mother Church provides to attend religious assemblies where the faith and order of the Catholic Church are rei ected. Knowing that he is bidden let his light shine before men, he will be a missionary among his fEllows for whom, as for himself, the inheritance of a place in God's Church is prepared, inviting them to come with him to the house of God, urging them to respond to God's gracious summons, and praying for them by name. He will never speak disparagingly or flippantly of holy things, nor indulge in censorious criticisms of the Church, and her clergy; and always in his devo- ' tions he will ask God's blessing upon the parish where he belongs, upon those who minister there, and upon his fellow worshippers. In his business he will never forget that the law of Christ is su preme, and that Christian brotherhood prohibits greed, covetousness, unfair competition and self seeking, time service, slackness, indolence and fraud. He will do his utmost to "honor all men"; and so doing, he will give glory to God in the church, in the state, and in the home. XII. O t he r Duties A good churchman will be at least as careful to follow the minor requirements of church tradition as he is to heed the etiquette of the society in which he moves. Thus, since the Prayer Book or ders all Fridays in the year to be observed as days of abstinence in honor of our Lord's death on Good Friday, he will exclude flesh meat from his table on every Friday, and will avoid the theater, dancing, or dinner parties, and similar gaieties, knowing that, at least, it is "bad form" for church people to despise that Catholic custom. He will observe the greater holy days devoutly, attending the Lord's own service on each; and he will like to bear in mind the black-letter commemorations, and the anniversaries that touch his own parish and his private life. He will seek to understand the Church's ceremonial, and will reverently and un ostentatiously conform to it, never fearing the mocking of ignorant or irreligious people. He will never travel without his Bible and Prayer Book; and he will rejoice to have a little cross or crucifix hid about his person. When away from home, he will remember his own church and his clergy before the altar of whatever church he worships; and he will seek an opportunity of saluting those who min ister to him then. Indeed, if he makes it a rule never to pass a priest on the street without a bow to one of Christ's lowly ambassadors, he will do well. Loyalty, vision, keenness and sympathy: those notes characterize the good churchman always. XIII. C eremonia l Suggestions One sits during instructions, stands at praise, at the Creed, and the Gospel, and kneels through the prayers. Kneeling involves the actual bending of the knees, not a mere hunching forward. Men rev erence the empty altar with a slight inclination of the head, women with a slight courtesy; but when the Blessed Sacrament is on the altar or is reserved in the Tabernacle, men and women should genu flect, i. e., should bend the knee, in adoration of our Lord there sacramentally present, until the knee touches the floor. The red light burning on the altar means that our Lord is present on the altar, and should be reverenced. The sign of the cross is made at the beginning and ending of prayer, at the end of the Creed and the Gloria in Excelsis, at blessings and absolutions, whenever the Name of the Bessed Trinity is in voked, on the forehead, lips and breast when the Gospel is announced, and before and after com municating. At the Holy Name of Jesus the head should always be inclined; and so at the Gloria Patri, doxologies, at "We worship thee" in the Gloria in Excelsis, and at similar ascriptions of praise and honor. On every saint's day, a very slight bow is made when the saint's name is heard, in the proper and in the hymns. Gloves must never be worn at the altar rail. There should be as little conversation as possible in the church building, and that in a whisper or an undertone. XIV. Cautels I add a few brief cautions about Christian duties often neglected: Always notify the rector, if you move, of your changed address; and leave word with the postal authorities to have your mail forwarded. When you go away permanently to another com munity, take a letter of transfer from your rector. If you want to see the clergy in your own home, send for them; don't expect them to come unsent for. Dont' forget your weekly offerings when you are absent on vacation. Arrange for baptism and churching as soon as possible after the birth of a child. Bring children to be confirmed "so soon as they can say the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, and are suffifficiently instructed in the other parts of the Church Catechism set forth for that purpose." Come to your communion regularly, and be pres ent at that service every Sunday and greater Holy Day. Go forward, near the altar, at the time of wor ship, and join audibly and distinctly in the services. Never forget your daily prayers, Bible reading, and self-examination. All baptisms, weddings and funerals should be held in the church. Remember that the priests of the Church are always "your servants for Jesus' sake"; use them, love them, and pray for them. BRIEF HISTORY OF GRACE CHURCH, HARTFORD Shortly after 1860, a group of laymen and women from Trinity Church, Hartford, started a Sunday School in the village of Parkville, a couple of miles southwest of Hartford. The school was held in Baker Road (i. e., New Park Avenue) schoolhouse, opposite where Grace Church now stands. The bricks of that schoolhouse were later used to construct the house now at 46 and 50 New Park Avenue. The first baptism in the Mission was held there in 1864. Soon the regular church largely through the generosity and interest of the services were held in the schoolhouse, and in 1868, Rev. Francis Goodwin, a little brick church (the present edifice except its new eastern bay) was consecrated on November 11, just fifty years be fore the late armistice, by Bishop John Williams. The Missio,n, then known as Grace Chapel, was served by lay readers from Trinity Parish, one of whom, William F. Nichols, is now Bishop of Cali fornia. The rector of Trinity Church or some other priest would always come out on the second Sunday of each month for the Holy Communion. There was no priest in direct charge of the chapel except, for short periods, the Rev. James B. Good r ich and the Rev. Clayton E•ddy, until 1878, when J ohn H. Barbour, who had served at the chapel since his graduation from college in 1873 as lay man and as deacon, was ordained priest. Except for a very short time he was in charge, under the rectors of Trinity Church, until his removal to Middletown in 1889. The present altar is given in his memory. During his time the communicant list grew from 29 to 133, and the number of pupils in the Church School from 7 4 to almost 200, about 40 more than our present enrollment ( 14)22). Mr. Barbour established an early Eucharist on such Sundays as there was none at 10:45, and had a celebration at 10:45 on the second and fourth Sun days of every month, as well as the greater festi vals. His successors saw fit to return to the puritan custom of using the first Sundays only for cele brations. The late Rev. Willis H. Stone was priest in charge from 1889 to 1893, the records of whose ministry show a steady progress through bringing people to confirmation. He was followed by a layman, F. P. Swezey, who was here but two years and was or dained while here. The Rev. George K. MacNaught was priest in charge from 1896 to 1903, and the records of the Prudential Committee show that he was very much beloved by the people of the chapel. During the tenure of office of the Rev. A. J. Hol land, 1903-1909, the Church School was built up, systematized and strengthened to the lasting good of the parish. After Mr. Holland's resignation, in 1909, the chapel was put temporarily in charge of the Rev. F. J. K. Alexander, under whom, in 1912, the Mission became strong enough to become in dependent of Trinity Church, which had been help· 3 YOUR SATISFACTION Every day-every week-every month every year-your satisfaction is the most important thing in the world to Sage Allen's.

The Mission of Grace Chapel became the Parish of Grace Church in 1912, and was so accepted by the diocese in 1913. Mr. Alexander was elected as rector, and served the parish until February, 1920. The pres ent rector took office on May 1 of that year. As we look back over the last sixty years, we see how this our parish has served mankind under God's guidance, being truly Grace Church, bring ing God's Grace into the hearts and lives of many, even as it does to us today. This brief history was written by the Rev. Paul Humphrey Barbour, who served the parish so faith fully from May, 1920, to June, 1923. Under, the then, Canon Barbour the services were beautiful and made reverent. He taught and practiced the full Catholic faith. Under him the Church School grew in numbers and devotion. He established the Children's Eucharists. In May, 1923, a new organ was placed in the church. The pr~sent rector was instituted by Father Bar bour on the Feast of the Most Blessed and Holy Trinity, 1923. The Blessed Trinity has abundantly blessEd the parish and the parish has grown in num bers, and what is more important, in devotions. The Holy Eucharist has been made the chief service of the Lord's Day and the Blessed Sacrament has been perpetually reserved since Easter, 1924. The fol lowing gifts have been made to the parish: Silver bread box as a thankoffering by Fr. Barbour; a set of six office lights by the Ray family in memory of the departed members of the same; a silver lavabo bowl and a pair of torches by Mrs. Fother gill in memory of Howard Fothergill; an oak taber nacle by Mr. Daniel 0.

The Blessed Sacrament is perpetually reserved , on the altar. A red light is kept burning in honor of the most precious Body and Blood of our Savior, who is really present "after an heavenly spiritual manner," in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. An act of praise to Jesus Christ in His sacra mental majesty. Blessed, praised and adored be Jesus Christ on His throne of glory in heaven and in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. The following hymns are suitable to be used before the Blessed Sacrament, 162, 328, 331, 337, . 338 and 1o333. Let me kneel on; it matters not to Thee, My Lord, that I have nothing left to say; That since I began my sojourn here with Thee, And my poor prayer have prayed themselves away. Let me kneel on; merely to watch Thee there Sufficeth me. Like They dear saints above, Who worship still, when every word of prayer Has died away in silent acts of love. Let me kneel on; for even on me, of all Thy children here the lowest and the one Least worthy of Thy love, on me will fall Some blessing from Thy sacramental throne. Let me kneel on; that thou art here, my Lord, I know indeed; for faith is lost in sight, That little light burns only to afford Light for the presence of the Light of Light. Let me kneel on, my God, the while I drain The cup of peace; for lo, all clouds are riven In the sweet sight of Thee, and once again We taste already of the bliss of heaven. 1851-1926 THE CITY BANK & TRUST COMPANY Hartford, Conn.

The truly modern kitchen today is equipped with the Chambers Fireless Gas Range, the greatest forward step in household economy and con venience in forty years. You only burn half as much gas cooking the Chambers way, due to the Thermodome and the Chambers insulated oven. You actually cut your gas bill in half! But far more important are the additional hours of freedom a Chambers brings from kitchen drudg ery.
