[[/words in italics; numbers are not]] THE NAMELESS SAINTS What was his name? I do not know his name. I only know he heard God's voice and came, Brought all he had across the sea To live and work for God and me; Felled the ungracious oak; Dragged from the soil With horrid toil The thrice-gnarled roots and stubborn rock; With plenty piled the haggard mountain side; And at the end, without memorial, died. No blaring trumpets sounded out his fame. He lived-he died-I do not know his name. And I? Is there some desert or some pathless sea Where Thou, good God of angels, wilt send me? Some oak for me to rend; some sod, Some handful of His corn to take And scatter far afield Till it, in turn, shall yield Its hundredfold Of grains of gold To feed the waiting child of my God? Show me the desert, Father, or the sea. Is it Thine enterprise? Great God, send me. And though this body lie where ocean rolls, Count me among all Faithful Souls. -Edward Everett Hale. 5.

[[italics]] School: [[/italics]] And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: [[italics]] Superintendent: [[/italics]] Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly; [[italics]] School: [[/italics]] Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. [[italics]] Superintendent: [[/italics]] And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. [[italics]] All: [[/italics]] To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 6. [[italics]] Recitation in Concert-Deuteronomy [[/italics]] 10: 17:21 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: 18 He doth execute the judgement of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment [[sic]]. 19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. 21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things which thine eyes have seen.
