“Turn your radio on and glory share…”

“For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?”
[1 Thessalonians, 2:19]

In context, it is the secondary definition of "crown" meaning the acme, summit or zenith of some thing. It was, however, the common usage that was folded into the Methodist construct of The Five Heavenly Crown's.

Shout out to HCJB, Quito, Ecuador; Clarence C. Moore (1904-1979) and Ruby Moore Clyde Hunsberger (1913-2002). The lady was, as they say, a real pistol.
