finding it successful, should help to pay.
An extra large congregation gathered, at the invitation
of the clergy, on Trinity Sunday, and found that kindly
hearts and deft hands had been enesged adding to the
permanent ornaments of the church those floral decorations
which we no brightly • reminder of the gracefulness of
the work of love. At your left hand the font wee fragrant

from meth to wed., we see that the pulpit, reading-desk,
and chancel, are all obeerfel with colours and graceful
forms, and ne we are here even before vestry prayers, cee
distinguish on the front of tee pulpit a cress °wend with
white geraniums and other blooms; triangles formed of
white wawa relieved agaimt grounds of fern, while
dainty wreaths trace out the book-reel, the projecting
