TUC AFTERNOON SERVICE AT ST. MARY'S
CHU RC IL

For seine time past the want of proper liCCillnillialatiOn for
the children of the Sunday School at W.. Mary's Church
be Lieu much tali by the littler (the Rev. E. J. L IS.
Henslowe) and those engaged iu the work of the school.
and a mooliu W. held in the sche..l.rouin, on Thursday '
evening to take the subject WMO cousideratiot. aud see if
a speinid service for the children could not be arranged.
The !Lector presided, and there were also jirc,•ent Mr. J.
C. Baker (churchwarden). Capt. hood, Mr. It. N. Cos., Ur.

N. Allem Mr. S. if7sk—e;:
Ms. It. resell, Mr. W. Adams, Mr. Fiticharde, and
a considerable number of Wt.., nu:Weill, Mrs. Good,

'The Ritt-ron, in opening the meeting, said he had
thought it right to call the parishioners together for remains
he had Let ore stated, hut as he saw representatives of the
pre.. present he thought it would be as well fur hint to
again expreas his views on the oubject of a asocial
service for the :Sunday School children, that those who
were not present ndalit become twee intuited with thew.
I He was not at all disappointed that there was not a larger
I attendance that evening, as it showed, he considered. that
U,. , parishioners left the matter in his baud; and idioms
lithium as to the arrangements that might be made. He
Ilan lung been much tbs.:dished, and he was sure NI had
all the workers connected with their Sunday School, with
regaird to the accommodation provided for the children
atta,nding divine service at the church—that acisauniusla-
him was indeed abominable and he considered they did
nude harm Wad good by taking the scholars to cburcb and
I plating them au a position where they could nut even
kuwil down. The best idea which had ozeurred to him,
I was to make the Alterman see, ice at three o'clock •
childreMs service, when they could he placed in the nave,
and where they could take part in Divine worship; the
Liturgy would be shortened, many hymn, would be intro-
duced, and • short address delivered expressly adapted for
children. At Ulu same time, those adulta who were at
present in the habit of attending the afternoon service
would Le quite at liberty to continue sluing au, only they
would have to take the service for what it was worth. If
this plau was not exceptable to th.sse who witiady attended
the afternoon wrens:, the next best plan, he thought,
would be to hese a eervice for the scholars earlier in the
Minna...um and let the present service lie continued, only
perhaps.• little later.. • . . . .

from the Opibi ~,, s ho Lad heard
expreseed the subject. there seeuied no for
so extra service, I.ut. that the %Ince u clock eertice
be expressly for cluldreu, and he virtue's concurred in the
retuarks made In the Rector.

szuOst service uns uta.ie a children's service many MUM
adults would atteud than at presinit (hear, hawk
The Itectiin said that was .tude his opinion.
Mr. Ns:am:mit' asked if We re.:tur had the power to.
curtail Un: aiLertivOn nrtico, and
Mr. Cotidss asked was it liol couipulsory to have full
asidning and atternisou was ice.

The frks..-ruit said it did not matter alien the full after-
non service was given, so long as it s, sometime during
the afternoon or evening—at the sawe time be could nut de-
away with the afternoon service altogether.
Mr. H. N. Cug said the lull service could be shut mike
evening —that would meet all the requirewents.
Mr. BLEW said they smut Was iii wind the evening
merveal v.as a special une.
Capt. (Soon did nut see that that would interfere. Had
not, he asiol, • law been passed to allow clergymen to
shorten the service.
The RECTUM sn.id they could mit do so on a Sunday
they were bound to have full working and eveedib service
on that day.
Capt. Goof. agreed with Mr. t'ox that the evening ser..
vice would autlion under the tire wines. It was true•
the udertory of an evening an. taken tor what was called.
the "evening lesture,- which, lie t Nsk, intent alio sermon,
and did nit apply to We liturgy at all, and lie del nut
think anyone would raise an objection to the contemplated
alteration--it they did they had wily to forbear from
puttinuirything in the plate too an. Um: evening ser-
vice —( bear).
The ktscrok said that was just tee way to look at the
matter.
Capt. Goon: There would be three services oil a Sunday
all the same.
Mt. S. ALLEY thought the point to be this : the seat,.
were appropriated by the parbillioners mowing and after-
noon at present, whereas in the evening they were free.
Would there be any objection raised on that ground
himself, lie should be wiljr too pleased to give up his seat
to the children, awl he thought others would be willing tea
do the saine—(heal.Aicar).

The Karma said that point hail occurred Whim, and he
was anxious to have the feelings of the parishioners on it.
Ile did nut think, however, any would object to give up
their seats to the children in the at ternisin.

........
said the alienation as °eta not only he an advan-
tage to the children of the school, but no doubt there were
maey parents of the respectable clam who would like to
tsk ar e their children to that service. Our Lors injunction
to Peter, at the time when he told him to "Fowl My
was, also, " hod My lamlm ;" and aurely it was
our duty to have a aervice for them : he felt that Mr.
Ilenelowe had introduced a feature whirl' might he well
copied in the diairese and throughout the couutry—(hear,
hear). The Young had not hitherto been attended to
enough in thy ministrations of our chureh ; they were
left principally to the Sunday school teacher% and there•
fore he thought a special rerieon to the young on Sundays
would be very beeeliciaL and that it would be highly
appreciated by the members of the congregation. If there
man any dispute about the alteration it could be referresit
to the Ordia•re.
Capt. (owe thought Mr. Allen lied hit the right point.
on the head by his reference to the appropriation ot matt
but he (Hr. Gmel) thought it was not likely those week,
he any objection raised an. that ground.
Mr. Cox then moved "That this lie:aline .es of opinion
that a special afternoon serviee for the young will be a.
great boon to the parish, and one wide?, the pariahiciners
will be very thankful to Mr. Ilenslowe fur adopting"—
(hese, hear).
Mr. W. ADAMS said he had much pleasure in seconding
slio resolution anal it was unanimously carried.
The lite-rou said he wee much obliged to thews present
for their attendance. He thought those absent. by their .
non-attendance. chewed their willinguees to fall in with.
the decision of the meeting —(hear. hear). If the present
arrangement was found at any future time, to be a
relevance, anal to work bailly, he should be very pleasegh
to try an extra service, Im: he 1101,41 lie thould not he-
obliged to ale that ; am the contrary, he looked forward to
a great anemia of geml and a very satisfactory result being
produced by the change --(applause). He would refer to
the fact that the sesta now occupied by the children at
the morning nervieet were very inconvenient for them,
not allowing them room to kneel, which was the tint
thing they should lean. to do in prayer ; he hoped the
churchwardens in time would be able to re-seat that
portion of the church, and then those scholars who
attended morning service could occupy the seats at the
western end of the church, and where they now at in the
transept would lie arropriated the congregation.
Capt. 1;001) thong tit very desirable to have the altera•
tion spoken of by the Rector carried out. The place where
the children now sat wee made inconveniently
just like a drum iti (act, and it would be well to have it
removed. A druna was all very well in its place, but he
thought it rather out of place in a chureh—Haughter) ; alu&
if they could get rid of the drum, and re-seat the.
northern transept, it would be a great improvement. He'
noticed at the vestry that morning that the chureh-
warden's Recounts showed a balance in hand—something
like 7s. 6.1.—n0w he thought a portion of that amount
might he well apprwpriateil to the alteration—(laughter).
How would it be to make a ninepenny rate instead of a
sixpenny one
Mr. Cog: It is very easy to make • rate—the lob is to
collect it--(iatighter).
Mr. M. ALI.RN was afraid church people were generally
speaking a " stinger lot "--(laughter). There WWI one
thine, however, they now had two fresh churchwarslens—
' (renewed laughter).
Capt. Goma hoped that they would sweep clean, like
new broome and get rid of the druie—theightert
Mr. RAKER said the alterations would he expensive, awl
' the only way to .10 it was for the congregation to assist
the churchwardens in raising the amount required--
-(hear, bear).
The IiF.CTOR again thanked those present, saying it was
. simply a question of how much good they could do, and it
seemed to iliel very important that all that could abould
be done to make the children take an interest in the
service of the fluirch, no that when they grew up they
Might feel that they lied been nurtured in the fear of the
