LadyJean, your collection sounds delightful. I especially like the sound of St. George stepping out of the stained-glass window.

Wilfried, thanks for the historical information. I didn't know much about Turkey before.

And now, for the musical connection. Go to this site:

and click on bornin.mid and you will hear St. Georges hymn. It is the same as Come Ye Thankful People, Come.

Rapaire - a recent article in the Ladies Home Journal had an article about a woman who left a polygamist community. It was heartbreaking.

An interesting note: she made her break after two Mormon missionaries (sent by a friend) showed up at her door and said "Do you want out of here?" So despite all the jokes, it can be a good thing to have those missionaries on your porch.
