March 23, 2008 Remembrance

A Detachable Lectern Light and Velvet Bible-Rest Cover. This light, a gift of human love, our mortal fingers may remove. Thus manmade lights may come and go to shimmer high or flicker low, while yet thy truth abides – and so, Father of Lights, to every heart thy shining truth, we pray, impart. O grant us vision well to read, and keep us humble, so to heed.

As now the Holy Book we lay upon this crimsoned lectern tray while richly glowing velvet cush, let once again thy beauty's flush. Find voice as in the burning bush: Remind us, through Thy truth profound, that here we are on holy ground! Donors: Dr. and Mrs. Halford Hallock, Yonkers, NY. Given during Lent, 1952. Grateful acknowledgment also to person wishing to remain unnamed, whose skilled and devoted hands fashioned a new lectern tray and fitted the velvet cover.
