February 24, 2008 Remembrance

The Remembrance Corner - A Brazen Cross, Two Brazen Candlesticks with candles to be kept alight through every worship service. Twin candlelumes. We light beside the cross where now it stands before a tinted window sacred to memory. One flame denotes remembrance, one our covenant with Christ. Withal we lift a memorial to those king's daughters who have pierced the veil to stand within the presence at the king. Time has relieved the ancient ugliness of Calvary: Symmetrical and pure, behold the symbol of redeeming love! With what prismatic beauty it will shine, when sun rays filter through the colored panes and fall in calm cascade of light and shadow! And when there's lamplight in the sanctuary, may it caress with gentle reverence the cross, the candlestick, the slender flames; our gift of humble, grateful, glad remembrance. Donors: This lovely unit is given to the remembrance corner by the King's Daughters in devoted memory of their members who have passed beyond the veil. It is made possible through the gracious bequest of one of these, Mrs. William Marshall.
