-	Football team and their coaches worshiping with us	0:04
	and assisting in the leading of the service of worship.	0:08
	To all who are weary and seek rest,	0:16
	to all who struggle and desire victory,	0:19
	to all who sin and seek forgiveness,	0:22
	to all who are idle and look for service.	0:26
	This hour of worship is open	0:30
	with opportunity, and promise, and challenge.	0:33
	Let us continue our worship of God,	0:38
	as we confess our sins to almighty God.	0:40
	Remembering, the words of scripture.	0:44
	If we say we have no sin,	0:46
	we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us,	0:49
	but if we confess our sins He is faithful and just,	0:53
	and will forgive our sins	0:56
	and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.	0:59
	Let us offer our eunice in prayer of confession.	1:03
	Almighty and eternal God, who searches the hearts of men.	1:09
	We acknowledge and confess,	1:14
	we have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed.	1:16
	That we have not loved you with all our heart and soul,	1:22
	with all our mind and strength,	1:26
	and that we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.	1:29
	Forgive us our transgressions and help us to amend our ways	1:34
	and of Your eternal goodness, direct what we shall be	1:40
	so that we may hence forth	1:44
	walk in the way of Your commandments,	1:46
	and do those things which are worthy in Your sight,	1:49
	through Jesus Christ. Our Lord. Amen.	1:53
	Let us hear and receive these assuring words	2:01
	from our Lord himself.	2:05
	Jesus said be of good cheer.	2:07
	Your sins are forgiven.	2:10
	Go and sin no more.	2:13
	And I say to you accept the fact that you are accepted,	2:18
	that whatever you have done,	2:23
	you are free from bondage to your past	2:25
	and from anxiety for your future.	2:28
	You are free to live fully and graciously in the present.	2:32
	You are valued as you are.	2:37
	Life is good as it is given from God.	2:41
	Our future is open.	2:45
	May we arise from our past,	2:47
	pick up our lives and walk in God's love.	2:49
	And remembering these words to those	2:55
	who have received the forgiveness of God.	2:58
	To be a Christian,	3:01
	a member of Christ's body is to be established already	3:03
	here and now in this world, in an estate of reconciliation	3:06
	which at once accepts one's self,	3:12
	and embraces the whole world.	3:16
	To be a Christian is to receive and know,	3:18
	and participate in the unconditional extravagant	3:22
	in-exhaustible and expendable love of God,	3:26
	for all that he has made	3:30
	and all that he has called into being.	3:32
	Such as the mission to which	3:36
	those who have tasted forgiveness, are called.	3:38
	(church organ music)	3:50
	(singing hymn songs)	4:25
-	The scripture lesson for today	7:23
	is taken from the book of Ephesians 4:25 verse	7:25
	through the 5:2 verse;	7:32
	"Therefore putting away falsehood,	7:35
	let everyone speak the truth with his neighbor.	7:38
	For we are members, one of another,	7:41
	be angry but do not sin.	7:45
	Do not let the son go down on your anger,	7:48
	and give no opportunity to the devil.	7:51
	Let the thief no longer steal,	7:54
	but rather let him labor,	7:57
	doing honest work with his hands.	7:59
	So that he may be able to give to those in need.	8:02
	Let no evil talk come out of your mouth,	8:06
	but only such that is good for edifying,	8:09
	as fits the occasion.	8:12
	That it may impart grace to those who hear.	8:14
	And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,	8:18
	in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.	8:21
	But let all bitterness, and rath, and anger,	8:25
	and clamor, and slander, be put away from you,	8:28
	with all malice and be kind to one another.	8:32
	Tender hearted, forgiving one another,	8:36
	as God in Christ forgave you.	8:39
	Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children,	8:42
	and walk in love as Christ loved us,	8:47
	and gave himself up for us,	8:50
	a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."	8:52
	Here ended the lesson for today.	8:55
	(church organ music)	8:58
	(singing hymn songs)	9:11
-	The Lord be with you.	9:38
Congregation	And with your spirit.	9:39
-	Let us pray.	9:41
	Let us offer unto God,	9:49
	our prayers of Thanksgiving for His Goodness.	9:51
	Almighty God and Father of us all.	9:59
	You have made of one blood, all the nations of mankind,	10:04
	and have placed us upon this earth for our home.	10:09
	Yours is the Providence, by which age, after age,	10:14
	the families of mankind have been fed.	10:18
	Yours is the justice, which amidst the turmoil of history	10:23
	has given it a course and direction.	10:26
	Yours is the mercy by which man has reached out to man	10:31
	with healing that binds up the broken heart,	10:34
	the torn body, and the disturbed mind.	10:38
	Yours is a love that brings light	10:43
	to every day of our lives and close friendships.	10:45
	In associations where openness and trust	10:50
	enable us to speak comfortably to each other.	10:54
	And especially in our homes and families	10:57
	where love protects us against all our foes.	11:01
	As with each other we share the love,	11:05
	which You alone do impart.	11:08
	We praise You Oh God,	11:13
	we acknowledge You to be our Lord.	11:15
	Oh, God of life, invisible and eternal,	11:20
	you of a thousand names,	11:24
	but ever the same in mercy and in love.	11:25
	We lift thanks to You most Gracious Father,	11:31
	for this green time and for the sustaining sun.	11:34
	For ripening food and refreshing showers.	11:39
	We thank you for small children splashing in the surf,	11:43
	and grandmothers walking slowly in the twilight cool.	11:48
	Our five and urgent senses praise You, Oh God.	11:52
	For large summer sites, or sweet and heavy air,	11:57
	for sounds within sounds and gifts within gifts.	12:02
	We thank You, Our Father for suffering	12:07
	that has been transformed,	12:10
	for sorrow that been comforted,	12:13
	and for joy extravagantly given and shared.	12:15
	We praise You, on this special Sunday	12:20
	for the delight of graceful and healthy bodies,	12:23
	for the joys of common sport,	12:28
	and for the satisfaction of a game well played.	12:30
	Oh, Lord, we praise You,	12:37
	for the small places of peace in our lives.	12:38
	The child at play, hands honestly at work,	12:42
	love in the eyes of a friend,	12:48
	forgiveness in the words of an enemy.	12:51
	A person who listens when we speak.	12:55
	We glorify You, Oh God,	12:59
	that undergirding all earth's teaming life.	13:01
	All chaos and calm, all silence and despair,	13:05
	there is your peace.	13:11
	Awesome, amazing, eternal, and available.	13:13
	Oh God of Mercy and of Love,	13:23
	who has commanded us to care for one another	13:24
	as you do care for us.	13:27
	Hear us now, as we lift our intercessions	13:29
	for our world and our neighbors.	13:32
	Let us pray for the whole state of the church of God,	13:38
	throughout the world.	13:42
	Lord, we pray for the power and the unity of your church.	13:46
	Point her to the issues of our time, we ask.	13:52
	Raise her eyes, wet her lips, and stir her imagination.	13:57
	Make her children glad.	14:04
	Make her youth zealous, make her men brave.	14:06
	Make her women free.	14:11
	Make her Bishop servants, we pray.	14:14
	Make her risk her life that she may live again.	14:17
	As Christ laid down His life freely,	14:20
	and rose to new life, in Thy power.	14:24
	Oh, God of peace.	14:29
	Give peace, we pray to trouble hearts.	14:31
	Deliver the tempted.	14:34
	Comfort the mourning.	14:36
	Heal those who are lying worn with sickness,	14:38
	and receive, oh, Father, the souls of the dying.	14:42
	Oh, Lord, we asked your special blessing for all those	14:47
	who would like to know the joy of sports,	14:50
	but who cannot on this day.	14:53
	The frail of body, the weak,	14:56
	the sick, the lame, the cripple,	15:00
	and all those whose lives are cast in such a way	15:05
	that games are luxuries that they cannot afford.	15:08
	As you alone can do, bring to all such men and women,	15:12
	fullness of life,	15:16
	and the development of their own particular talents.	15:18
	Eternal God our Father, who know us,	15:26
	our words before they are on our tongues.	15:29
	We lift before You our own needs and supplications.	15:33
	Turn our gaze from the outer world	15:39
	into our own inner life and experience.	15:41
	And there help us to act with honest candor.	15:44
	If we are inwardly barren, oh Lord,	15:49
	let us not flourish our words	15:52
	as if we possessed great riches.	15:54
	If we are spiritually discouraged or in despair,	15:57
	let us not come before You,	16:01
	and the semblance of faith put on.	16:02
	As if our pain or perplexity were not real.	16:06
	You, from whom nothing is hid,	16:10
	and who are able to heal what not well with us.	16:13
	If we but open our lives and humbly seek your grace.	16:17
	Come now we pray, oh Lord, to each of us as we need You.	16:22
	That with your help,	16:29
	we may possess our souls and fullness of peace,	16:30
	and in the health of joy.	16:34
	Oh God, our Father, our hearts are gladdened in your house.	16:38
	We pray, that You would let all the beauty	16:42
	that we have known, shown forth.	16:45
	Show forth now to your glory, let all the truth,	16:47
	our minds have found speak out Your praise.	16:51
	Let all the goodness our souls have met,	16:55
	Bless Your Holy name.	16:58
	Even according to Your promise, make all things new.	17:01
	Redeeming our eyes from blind, seeing.	17:06
	Our hearts from dull, living.	17:09
	That we may worship You, in wonder	17:12
	and walk through our common days with eyes	17:15
	for mystery and for miracle about us.	17:18
	Let this house, fashioned	17:21
	out of the heights and depths of man's own experience of You	17:23
	consecrate us with its beauty as we worship,	17:28
	and shelter our souls in the eternal love of God.	17:32
	These prayers we offer in the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord	17:38
	who taught us to pray together saying;	17:41
	"Our Father who art in heaven,	17:44
	Hollowed would be by Thy name,	17:47
	Thy kingdom come.	17:50
	Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.	17:51
	Give us this day our daily bread.	17:56
	And forgive us our trespasses,	17:59
	as we forgive those who trespass against us.	18:01
	And lead us not into temptation,	18:05
	but deliver us from evil:	18:07
	For thine is the kingdom, and the power,	18:09
	and the glory, forever. Amen"	18:12
-	Grace and peace be with you all,	18:45
	and with all who worship with us over the radio.	18:48
	Do all of us who worship here today?	18:57
	be we athletic or non-athletic.	19:01
	Realize that the word ball, B A L L,	19:06
	occurs only once in the many pages of the Bible.	19:13
	The one reference is in Isaiah 22:18.	19:20
	However, if the verse doesn't make any more sense to us	19:27
	than it does to the commentators on it.	19:31
	Then we'd better just forget about it.	19:35
	Thus was I frustrated,	19:40
	in my original approach to the sermon	19:45
	for this Sunday in the academic ecclesiastic athletic year.	19:48
	When we welcome,	19:57
	the coaches, and the players, and the supporters,	19:58
	of our football team.	20:02
	So I turn to another source,	20:06
	which regularly aids me in sermonic production.	20:08
	The writings of Rudyard Kipling.	20:13
	Do many folk read Kipling today?	20:19
	Does anyone?	20:24
	You know, if you haven't read him? you're lucky.	20:28
	Why? because you have still the thrill of discovering Him,	20:34
	for the first time.	20:41
	I've been rereading Kipling's jungle books.	20:45
	Particularly, volume one,	20:49
	which deals with the fabled adventures of Mowgli,	20:52
	the Indian boy, who was reared in a family of wolves.	20:57
	Real wolves.	21:04
	Four footed wolves.	21:06
	And educated in jungle law by Baloo the bear,	21:09
	and Bagheera, the black Panther, and Happy the elephant.	21:15
	Mowgli, the Indian baby is brought before the wolf pack.	21:21
	Not in Rollie, but in the Council Rock.	21:28
	He's sponsored by the Panther and the bear.	21:34
	And thanks to Akela, the gray wolf who leads the pack,	21:39
	Mowgli is accepted as a wolf.	21:46
	Though, a very strange one.	21:50
	And in a poem, Kipling outlines the law of the jungle.	21:54
	The law of the jungle.	22:00
	Here are the first four lines.	22:03
	Now, this is the law of the jungle.	22:07
	As old and as true as the sky,	22:13
	and the wolf that shall keep it, may prosper.	22:18
	But the wolf that shall break it, must die.	22:24
	As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk,	22:30
	the law runneth forward and back.	22:35
	For the strength of the pack, is the wolf.	22:40
	And the strength of the wolf, is the pack.	22:46
	Kipling says, of his foster mother	22:54
	who reared him when he returned to England from India,	22:57
	where he was born.	23:02
	Born and came to England,	23:05
	to begin his schooling at an early age,	23:06
	he said of that foster mother.	23:09
	She taught me the Bible,	23:12
	but she gave me little love.	23:16
	Kipling was at home in the Bible.	23:21
	And there is a verse which was read to us this morning,	23:24
	by coach Bostons in Ephesians,	23:27
	Which may have suggested to Kipling the law of the jungle.	23:31
	We are members,	23:38
	one of another.	23:41
	We are members, one of another.	23:45
	Ephesians 4:25.	23:47
	So let us look both at the law of the jungle,	23:51
	and at this important plank in the Christian platform.	23:55
	And think of them in the world of athletics,	24:02
	and in our own daily living.	24:05
	First, then the strength of the pack, is the wolf.	24:09
	A team is made up of individuals,	24:17
	and it depends to a great extent on its stars.	24:20
	That must have been obvious in the TV special of last week.	24:26
	Which chose the 22, All Americans, of the coming season,	24:32
	including one Duke Lyman.	24:38
	It chose them before it selected	24:41
	the 10 best teams in the nation.	24:47
	Individuals first, teams second.	24:52
	And in sports illustrated for June 26th of this year,	24:58
	there was this paragraph.	25:02
	For the first time ever,	25:04
	the Dodgers have retired uniform numbers.	25:07
	Last week three went in one fell swoop.	25:14
	Those of Roy Campanella, 39,	25:19
	Jackie Robinson, 42,	25:23
	and Sandy Koufax, 32.	25:27
	You know them.	25:31
	Jackie Robinson second base.	25:34
	First black to break into the big leagues.	25:37
	Thanks to Branch Rickey, who never went to a Sunday game.	25:41
	Roy Campanella, A black catcher.	25:49
	Sandy Koufax, the Jewish pitcher,	25:54
	who had it written into his contract,	25:56
	that he would not pitch on Yom Kippur,	26:00
	The Day of Atonement, The Jewish holy day.	26:05
	The strength of the pack is to a great extent	26:11
	in the unique individual, the All American,	26:15
	the hall of fame wolf.	26:20
	Now, this is true in religion.	26:24
	Its stars are known as saints,	26:27
	and they're made up of all kinds of folk.	26:31
	Learned and simple.	26:35
	Aristocratic and humble.	26:38
	Ivy League and sand luck.	26:42
	Old and young.	26:46
	Male and female.	26:48
	Past and present.	26:50
	Well known to their fellows,	26:53
	but often honored only after death.	26:55
	There are known-Christian figures among them.	27:01
	Moses.	27:04
	Second Isaiah.	27:07
	Mahatma Gandhi.	27:09
	And there is Pope John, the 23rd.	27:13
	Who was either the most Protestant Roman Catholic,	27:18
	or the most Catholic Protestant, since Martin Luther.	27:23
	And don't forget the saints with a small "s".	27:28
	On our own campus, there are more than you think.	27:33
	And they're worth knowing.	27:38
	Seems to me, it seems to me to be true that	27:41
	in athletics and in daily living	27:45
	that the strength of the pack is the wolf.	27:50
	Now second, the strength of the wolf, is the pack.	27:56
	That was a wise addition of Kipling's.	28:03
	Lest we go overboard on All Americans and saints,	28:07
	Kipling counters with the other half of a truth.	28:12
	And do you know who is most aware	28:18
	that the strength of the wolf is the pack?	28:22
	The All-American.	28:27
	The hall of fame.	28:31
	Famer.	28:34
	The Saint with a capital "S".	28:36
	Let me offer you one illustration	28:39
	which has delighted me for years.	28:41
	On August 7th, less than two weeks ago.	28:45
	Lefty Gomez, the Yankee pitcher,	28:50
	was inducted in the hall of fame.	28:54
	His left hand carried the Yankees to several pennants,	29:00
	and himself to some glorious personal records.	29:06
	Once when asked the secret of his success,	29:12
	he replied three things.	29:16
	Clean living, a fast outfield, and Johnny Murphy.	29:20
	Murphy was the relief pitcher,	29:29
	who bailed Gomez out of many jams,	29:33
	over a 14 year, career.	29:37
	Gomez knew that part of his strength,	29:41
	was three men patrolling the ranges,	29:43
	and Johnny Murphy in the bullpen.	29:48
	And you know, too well, in football,	29:53
	the ball carrier depends on an offensive line,	29:57
	which opens holes.	30:01
	And downfield blockers who remove	30:05
	possible impediments to his progress.	30:07
	And the entire offensive team is very interested	30:13
	in its defensive line and linebacker,	30:17
	and backfield interceptors and teachers.	30:24
	And a group of individuals senses that, they form a team.	30:29
	And then an "ESPRIT DE CORPS" emerges.	30:35
	Do you know how Webster defines ESPRIT DE CORPS?	30:40
	The common spirit,	30:44
	pervading the members of a body or association of persons.	30:47
	It implies sympathy,	30:52
	enthusiasm,	30:55
	devotion,	30:59
	and jealous regard	31:01
	for the honor of the body as a whole.	31:04
	Common spirit which implies sympathy, enthusiasm, devotion	31:10
	and jealous regard for the honor of the body as a whole.	31:16
	It's exemplified by the captain of the army team.	31:21
	Standing in the shadows of goalposts in south Philadelphia,	31:27
	after Navy had defeated army.	31:33
	He was hurt to mutter, "I'd rather be a plebe at West Point	31:37
	than Admiral of the whole damn Navy.	31:44
	Now that's ESPRIT DE CORPS,	31:51
	but even so it's a good position.	31:54
	It's the recognition that the strength of the wolf,	31:57
	is the pack.	32:00
	We're members, one of another.	32:02
	Isn't that the meaning and the purpose of the church.	32:04
	The religious group, the fellowship or Christian athletes.	32:08
	The synagogue.	32:13
	One cannot be a Christian certainly,	32:16
	in a prolonged voluntary isolation.	32:21
	The reason for that is that love, goodwill toward others.	32:27
	Deep respect for one's fellows, is a keyword in the faith.	32:32
	In community is strength.	32:38
	There's an apocryphal story,	32:43
	of a conversation between God and Jesus.	32:46
	Following on the crucifixion, God says to Jesus;	32:50
	On what do you depend?	32:57
	And Jesus answers; On 11 men.	33:01
	God counters; What if they let you down?	33:07
	And Jesus replies; I have no other way.	33:14
	The strength of the wolf, even the head wolf, is the pack.	33:23
	The team is the pack. The church is the pack.	33:29
	Now there's a third statement, which must obviously be made.	33:37
	Which Kipling surely inferred.	33:42
	What Kipling was getting at? I think. I hope.	33:46
	Is that the strength of the wolf,	33:52
	and the strength of the pack,	33:54
	are reciprocal, mutual, common.	33:58
	Each is strong because,	34:04
	and in as much as,	34:08
	the other shares its strength.	34:11
	"No man is an island, entire of itself;	34:16
	every man is a piece of the continent,	34:22
	a part of the main."	34:26
	John Donne, said that centuries ago.	34:29
	Nature is a vast system of interrelated lives;	34:36
	said JA Thompson,	34:43
	the philosophical scientist of my college days.	34:44
	We live in a culture of cooperating specialization.	34:48
	We are important, not in isolation,	34:56
	but in our particular place in a pack,	35:00
	in a team, in a church.	35:05
	Let me give you a for instance,	35:08
	from last year's football team.	35:11
	On Sunday mornings when I'm on duty in the chapel	35:16
	here at the Lectin.	35:19
	I go over to the great hall about 10 o'clock,	35:22
	for coffee and a toasted English muffin.	35:25
	Sent around the machine twice,	35:31
	because once around merely singes the muffin.	35:33
	Ernie Jackson came in one Sunday,	35:39
	about halfway through the season and sat down beside me.	35:42
	He was very quiet, and I asked him if he were hurt?	35:47
	He thought for a while, and then said,	35:53
	I'm not hurt, but I'm sore all over.	35:58
	I'm always hitting, or being hit by, fresh men.	36:04
	I'd enjoy football more,	36:12
	if we all played the one platoon system	36:14
	He was heading to the gym for a miracle bath,	36:20
	and a long massage.	36:23
	I mentioned this to coach McGee,	36:27
	and he told me a story about Ernie Jackson,	36:30
	and he's allowing me to share it with you.	36:33
	After the fourth game last year,	36:36
	the coach called Jackson in and told him,	36:38
	that if he played just defense the rest of the year,	36:44
	He would probably make All America.	36:50
	But,	36:55
	because of injuries,	36:57
	Duke needed him play both ways.	37:00
	If he did play both ways,	37:06
	He would probably not make All America.	37:10
	He wasn't built with the stamina and strength,	37:15
	to go both ways in an age of two platoon plus football.	37:18
	Coach McGee left the decision to Jackson.	37:26
	And Ernie decided there and then, after a period of quiet.	37:32
	Do you know what he said?	37:37
	What is good for the team, is good for Ernie Jackson.	37:39
	Now that's quite a different statement	37:48
	from what an official of General Motor said some years ago,	37:51
	with relation to the United States.	37:55
	Ernie recognized that we are members, one of another.	38:00
	He made All American, some lists.	38:06
	He was the most value player in his own teams voting.	38:10
	He was the first black,	38:15
	to be the ACC football player of the year.	38:17
	Where in his death,	38:21
	and I could wish that more students and colleagues	38:23
	would recognize that.	38:27
	Now, in the area of religion there are multiple instances	38:30
	of reciprocity, mutuality, common will.	38:34
	Let me suggest just one	38:39
	for you to examine after this service.	38:40
	It's found in Paul's letter to the church at Rome.	38:44
	The 16th chapter of that letter, the first 16 verses.	38:48
	What's Paul doing in these verse?	38:53
	He's just sending greetings and saying thank you,	38:56
	to a group of Christians,	39:04
	most of whom never appear anywhere else	39:07
	in the new Testament.	39:11
	There by and large, not even junior varsity.	39:15
	Junior varsity saints, they're just scrubs.	39:20
	But it's because of them,	39:25
	that Paul got his letter, S T period.	39:28
	For the pack and the wolf,	39:36
	are like two blades of a pair of scissors.	39:38
	Which blade is more important?	39:44
	Try to cut with one.	39:47
	It's their joint effort together as one,	39:51
	which brings results.	39:56
	We're members, one of another.	39:59
	Yes, said God, when Cain asked him	40:02
	if he was supposed to be his brother Abel's keeper.	40:06
	Yes, said the despised Samaritan.	40:11
	When he looked after the I isolationist Jew	40:15
	who'd been beaten up by gangsters on the Jericho road.	40:18
	Yes, said St. Paul over and over again.	40:23
	Are we willing to say yes too.	40:30
	As athletes.	40:36
	As supporters.	40:38
	As folk in the church.	40:40
	If we are?	40:44
	There are good months ahead in the playing fields,	40:46
	in the chapel,	40:52
	on the campus,	40:55
	in the town.	40:58
	Let us pray.	41:02
	Grant us oh God, to understand Thy servant, Rudyard Kipling.	41:06
	Who has caught the meaning of the good news	41:12
	in the old and new testaments.	41:14
	That we may behave as good companions,	41:18
	in all areas of our common life.	41:22
	To Thy glory, and for the relief of mans estate.	41:26
	Amen.	41:33
	(church organ music)	41:39
	(singing hymn song)	42:04
	(church organ music)	44:36
	(singing hymn song)	45:10
	(church organ music)	49:29
	(church organ music)	50:29
	(singing hymn song)	50:42
-	All mighty God, our heavenly Father.	51:41
	As we offer these gifts, fruit of our common labor	51:44
	we would dedicate ourselves a new to the love	51:49
	that is ever seeking fuller entrance into our hearts.	51:52
	We dedicate our gifts of speech, conversation scholarship,	51:57
	to the cause of peace, love, and reconciliation	52:02
	in your world.	52:06
	We dedicate our vocation of parenthood,	52:09
	of sonship, and of home building, to share with others,	52:12
	the love of Jesus Christ.	52:16
	We dedicate our gifts of skill, integrity, and health,	52:20
	to discipleship, to Jesus Christ.	52:25
	To extend His healing reign.	52:28
	To keep alive the conscious of the world,	52:30
	and to carry out his commission	52:34
	to go and proclaim the kingdom of God to all men,	52:36
	through Jesus Christ, our Lord by whom and with whom,	52:41
	and the unity of the Holy Spirit.	52:45
	All honor and glory be to You,	52:46
	oh Father almighty world without end.	52:49
	Go forth now to be God's people in the world	52:56
	and may the peace, grace, and joy	53:00
	of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,	53:04
	go and remain with you always.	53:08
	(singing hymn song)	53:18
