“All devoutly
kneeling...” | _.
One of the most
difficult things to do
is to humble yourself
in public, kneeling to
pray to God for his
aid and mercy.
FIRST PAYMENT IN
Maybe it’s training,
but Episcopalians
find this attitude
hard to understand.
We take it as a mat-
ter of course that when we go to church, we
go to worship God and to pray to Him, and
the natural position for supplication is on our
knees.

So different! See it today! {
So, we kneel to pray — we stand to praise,
we sit to listen.
We don’t think it at all unusual. We know
that George Washington and many more presi-
dents of our great nation were devout Episco- |

The phrase which heads this advertisement
