7 effort to win millions of the unchurched to Christian be lief and service, to member ship and activity in the Church. This is because of the period that historically follows Easter. The New Testament tells us that, after the Resurrection, Jesus remained on earth for 40 days, (luring which time He made several visible ap pearances to His disciples and spoke to them. Then came the Ascension. Ten days later, the Scrip ture records, God in the form of the Holy Spirit appeared to the waiting disciples gath ered somewhere in Jeru salem, endowed them with vision and extraordinary powers, and sent them forth over the civilized world to preach the Gospel. That day was the birthday of the Christian Church! What is more consistent, or more historically accurate or psychologically sound, than to capitalize on the 50 days from Easter to Pentecost in triumphant religious services, rising to a grand climax in observance of the natal day of the Church? More and more churches are doing it. Many congrega tions dramatize the post Easter period with a series of Sunday worship services called "The Seven Candles of the Lord," in which each taper symbolizes such a Sab bath service. In our church, seven un lig'rlted candles were placed in a row upon the altar or communion table at the front of the sanctuary. A candle was lighted each Sunday to represent that day, until the seven burning candles on Pentecost Sunday (June 9 this year) proclaimed the ful fillment of the entire period's devotion. "Let there be light!" was the over-all theme of the seven-Sunday observance, the lighted candles visibly signifying the invisible light of the spirit, which comes through faith faith in Christ, The seven candles were lighted one by one as sermons on these subjects were de livered on successive Sun days: 1. "The Light of Promise"; 2. "The Light of Devotion"; 3. "The Light of Peace"; 4. "The Light of Knowledge"; 5. "The Light of Fruitfulness"; 6. "The Light of His Glory"; 7. "The Light of Pentecost." All were taken from discourses by Jesus to His disciples after ' the Resurrection and before the Ascension. ' When the seventh, or Pen tecost, Sunday arrived, the importance of the meaning of the birthday of the Church was well ingrained in people's minds and hearts. The ulti mate purpose is to make the day one of triumph and glory in the Christian calendar. It is the fitting recognition of Easter as the noble begin ning of the goal of the Chris tian faith to make a new world out of the old.
