No One In The Audience<\/b><\/p>\n
Let\u2019s accompany the British journalist David Pryce-Jones to Hereford Cathedral. While showing the cathedral to a pair of foreign guests, they stumbled upon a service in progress and were rebuked by the vicar. \u201cNot a single worshipper, apart from the vicar, was present in that great nave,\u201d writes Pryce-Jones \u201cEvensong was taking place in a vacuum: NUNC DIMITTIS, indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thinking And Acting Like A Christian, D. Bruce Lockerbie, p. 32<\/p>\n
Quote<\/b><\/p>\n
Some people have just enough religion to make themselves miserable. – Harry Emerson Fosdick.<\/p>\n
Poem<\/b><\/p>\n
In the book \u201cGaily The Troubadour,\u201d published in 1936, Arthur Guiterman wrote the following poem. Reading his observations, you wouldn\u2019t guess it was written nearly fifty years ago.<\/p>\n
First dentistry was painless; Then bicycles were chainless And carriages were horseless And many laws, enforceless.<\/p>\n
Next, cookery was fireless, Telegraphy was wireless, Cigars were nicotineless And coffee, caffeinless.<\/p>\n
Soon oranges were seedless, The putting green was weedless, The college boy hatless, The proper diet, fatless.<\/p>\n
Now motor roads are dustless, The latest steel is rustless, Our tennis courts are sodless, Our new religions, godless.<\/p>\n
