This Vespers Service presented by William Hayes c. 1942 is an example of the services given by a variety of staff at Pine Mountain Settlement School. The topics were chosen by the staff and the program arranged with other presenters. It often included music, poetry, personal reflections, readings, and other offerings chosen by the presenter. This particular service captures the mood of the School during WWII. William Hayes had three brothers who were in the war effort.<\/p>\n

Organ prelude – Dorothy<\/p>\n

Hymn 13<\/p>\n

The embers of the day are red
\nBeyond the murky hill.
\nThe kitchen smokes; the bed
\nin the darkling house is spread;
\nThe great sky darkens overhead,
\nAnd the great woods are shrill.
\nSo far have I been led
\nLord, by thy will;
\nSo far I have followed, Lord,
\nand wondered still.<\/p>\n

Evensong<\/em> – Stevenson<\/p>\n

[Prayer]<\/p>\n

Our father in Heaven, we bless Thee for this thoughtful time in which the delicate and more subtle things of life become more real. Let our thoughts reach out and dwell on what is good and true and lovely. Unburden our thoughts reach out and dwell on what is good and true and lovely. Unburden our hearts of worry or care so that we may receive abundantly of what is right. To all the things we have seen or heard this day we are glad to add this thoughtful hour, and through it feel more deeply and clearly what this day has brought. Be near us and bless us through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN<\/em><\/p>\n

Hymn 212<\/p>\n

Quote – “Troubled World” – Hendrik Van Loon<\/p>\n

TALK<\/p>\n

Is it that civilization is moving so fast that we fail to see our neighbor’s good points? Some feel that people are moving about in such haste and confusion that we can’t accept the other person’s \u00a0way of doing things. Maybe this is why we can’t settle our minds long enough to come to any conference agreement. We are continually calling for more round table discussion, but we get nowhere. At this point we should slow our pace long enough to glance back over our forefather’s times and tribulations.<\/p>\n

In this great Country of ours men have always seen fit to fight wrong with truths. Great men have lost their lives for the things they held true to faith in their country’s building up. Always there has been some suitable man in our midst that has carried us through toil and terrorism. Usually this man must have the full backing of the Nation at large. When we are working and praying for the same thing we are well regarded in the end.<\/p>\n

So, I say here that like Mr. Van Loon\u00a0[Hendrik van Loon] we must look at ourselves: \u00a0What are we living for? What we are trying to do from day to day? These and many other questions should be top most in our mind. Do we have the spiritual courage to say that we do want a civilization that is clean in mind and soul? Have we not in the past been able to express our thoughts through our daily work?<\/p>\n

If we still believe this, then let us build and build but stop the tearing down of more permanent foundations. There is hardly a day goes by but what man’s labors bring forth new ideas for prolonged health and happiness. This goes to show that if just a small part of our aims to destroy man were put in proper channels what wonderful futures this age would bring. Even if there is enough grain, wool and raw materials for everybody, some misguided soul has to corrupt the whole plan in order to set himself up as an idol. We don’t want this kind of leadership. Our trends are toward a more free choice, loyalty to our fellow man.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the demands and necessities of our new world, we must have new concepts of a good and desirable life. We must move slower with our fellowmen, be able to take and inject some of his ideas with ours. Be able to sit down and try some of these things before jumping the gun, and saying they are not in our keeping. Where there is a will there is \u00a0way, so lets pray and hope some of us have that way.<\/p>\n

A thought for peace —<\/p>\n

Who knows but what this evening brings?
\nThoughts of love and joys still ring,
\nAround us gather the world’s dark clouds,
\nBut still there is freedom for speech out loud
\nMany are those who are sadly put out;
\nFor peace talks lag and rumors are about.
\nWhat day goes by but what we don’t hear
\nOf conflicts between nations, so far away, but yet so near.
\nStill, we are looking for men who must bring
\nThis country to its feet and make freedom ring.
\nHave we not already sacrificed enough time
\nTo have corrected all errors and to draw a straight line?
\nFor there are those among us who must at times face about
\nAnd bring his thoughts from the inside out.
\nWhen these thoughts are assembled in harmony over the world,
\nCan’t peace and love at last be unfurled?<\/p>\n

[source unknown]<\/p>\n

Shall we close our Vespers by singing Hymn 56<\/p>\n

O Lord our God, may the peace of this hour become a part of our lives to think on and recall in some moment when the strife and toil of life is hard and long. We have been with Thee, and in Thy keeping we will rest this night. We pray for the time when all mankind shall know this peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN<\/p>\n
