Y A E P .C N HI was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord'.H PSALM l22:l The Psalmist of old recognized his need to worship the creator of life and was joyful when the opportunity was presented for him to go to Hthe house of the Lordn. He felt that it was a rare pri- vilege, and found it to be a very meaningful experience, going to the Temple where he expressed praise and adoration to the Almighty and gave thanks for the blessings of life. In the Temple he was able to withdraw from the noisy activities of daily life and spend time in quiet meditation ... to find courage and strength for liv- ing. Worship added something to his life and he eagerly awaited the Sabbath when he would return to Hthe house of the Lordn. The Navy recognizes that we have spiritual needs as well as physical needs, and provisions are made for us to worship regular- ly if we so desire. Our worship may be in a beautiful chapel at a large shore station or in a Quonset Hut at a small isolated shore base, on the hangar deck of an aircraft carrier or on the mess deck of a destroyer, Divine Services may be conducted by a Chaplain a guest clergyman, or a trained layman, conditions may 9 vary and situations change, nevertheless, wherever we find our- 'll l'k l find an selves on Sunday throughout the Navy we wi very 1 e y opportunity to worship in Hthe house of the Lordn.
