Fifty-six year old SEPTA MU car 9125 spends the weekend at West Trenton, New Jersey. Incredibly, the car is in revenue service in relatively fresh paint, its third paint scheme. Beginning life in 1931 as part of the electrification of Reading’s suburban Philadelphia service, the self-propelled coach was painted like the rest of the fleet, in Reading’s dark Pullman Green, and was numbered 870. In the mid-1960’s, the 870 was one of 38 MU cars that were rebuilt by the railroad, renumbered , and repainted blue with a large white window-band stripe. Now numbered 9125, the car was a part of the so-called “blueliner” fleet, serving in revenue service until 1990. The 9125 then was assigned to wire train service until the early 2000’s. Today the car still exists, languishing at the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad.

Portrait d'une bonne - Maid portrait

"We don't have time to be sick, we have no right to suffer ... Suffering is a luxury of master ..." Octave Mirbeau, The Diary of a Chambermaid

She's ready for the portrait, shy, humble, discreet. These portraits of maids are rare. In full uniform, waiting position. The highlighting of the servants.

A dressy outfit. I don't wear this for chores, it's too frilly and has to be drycleaned

"As his fellow workers, we beg you once again not to neglect the grace of God that you have received. For he says: At the favourable time, I have listened to you; on the day of salvation I came to your help. Well, now is the favourable time; this is the day of salvation.

We do nothing that people might object to, so as not to bring discredit on our function as God’s servants. Instead, we prove we are servants of God by great fortitude in times of suffering: in times of hardship and distress; when we are flogged, or sent to prison, or mobbed; labouring, sleepless, starving. We prove we are God’s servants by our purity, knowledge, patience and kindness; by a spirit of holiness, by a love free from affectation; by the word of truth and by the power of God; by being armed with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left, prepared for honour or disgrace, for blame or praise; taken for impostors while we are genuine; obscure yet famous; said to be dying and here are we alive; rumoured to be executed before we are sentenced; thought most miserable and yet we are always rejoicing; taken for paupers though we make others rich, for people having nothing though we have everything."

– 2 Cor 6:1-10, which is today's 1st reading at Mass.

With so many quests at Tigelfah castle the evening meal in the Great Hall promises to be a night to remember.

Of course not everybody is happy, particular the servants of the castle who have a busy day making preparations who are not always helped by the young children.

Outside the kitchen one of the servants, Edelène, is picking some herbs from the castles herb garden. Bazile her son is helping, mostly.

Notice his hands are not in his pockets, as like all members of his profession he needs to have them free to get them into yours - allegedly !

Petworth is one of the great houses of the south of England and the Egremont family have been in residence for 400 years. At the turn of the last century the family of five were served by some 40 servants, a number which could rise to 100 at certain times of year. At the time it was said that the best servants were those which were never seen, to which end a tunnel had been constructed leading from the kitchens to the house.

“But as for you, Israel my servant,

Jacob my chosen one,

descended from Abraham my friend,

I have called you back from the ends of the earth,

saying, ‘You are my servant.’

For I have chosen you

and will not throw you away.

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.

Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

[Isaiah 41:8-10 NLT]

5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)

2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)

3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)

4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)

5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)

Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

Built at the turn of the last century these are two of the servants' quarters at Tyresö Castle. Three families working at the castle lived in each of the two houses. The houses were known as "Parkvillorna". The people that lived here were "statare", contract-workers that ran the farm at the castle. The park ranger and the coachman also lived here.

Within one of the out buildings at a once grand country estate left for nature to reclaim for the best part of 75 years. There were signs in this building that it may have been a servants wing of some kind with small ovens set into the walls and simple furniture lying broken amongst the brambles and bracken. The roofs had given way a long time previously and nature had completely reclaimed to space.
