Among the recent gifts to Christ
Church are to be noted two aims
basins of most beautiful design and
finish-presented to the Church by
Miss Mary Rice of Cincinnati, Ohio, a
cousin OF the Pastor. These basins
used for the first time at the Consecra-
ton Service of the Church are of very
heavy dark wood, and the carving up
on them is entirely the work of Miss
Rice. The raised text upon the rim OF
one basin reads "Be merciful after thy
power" and upon the other H'Cast thy
bread upon the waters" 1t was a
very timely and acceptable gift to the
Church and will always be pleasant
