BARGAIN DAY

presented to Bishop Talbot, of Wyo-
ming, who has placed him at work in
| his diocese.
Mr.. Toole is looking forward to Holy
Orders, and will continue his studies
under the direction Of the bishop. We

| Grated man goes FORTH
I'VE have yet another illustration and
perhaps a more positive one still, in
the case of Frank Jones, an earnest and
consistent communicant Of st. David's
parish, who has consecrated his life as a
layman, exclusively to the saving of
men. Mr.. Jones has presented himself
to the rector for work, the return to be
a simple support. AS he desires to take
upon himself the VOWS of chastity, pov-
erty and obedience he thinks a very
small amount will be sufficient for his
maintenance. The call was so urgent,
the need so great and the opportunity
for securing the service of so conse
Grated a life so rare, that the rector has
accepted the responsibility for month
at time, relying upon there being those
in the parish who will feel drawn to
support such consecrated work. Mr..
Jones will visit day and night among
the laboring GLASSES, the afflicted and
poor, counseling, advising, exhorting,
teaching and assisting as opportunity
presents. The amount Of work done will
be enormous and the financial outlay
very small A young active, intelligent
man who calmly gives up all the world
has to offer of love and gain and honor
in order to devote himself. body and
soul. to his Masters work, was the
offer and the remunera ton only what
it would cost to support so abstemlous
and self-denying a life. Mr.. Jones be-
gins his work at once, and we believe
that in a few months most positive re-
suits will be seen IN the parish life, in
the congregations and in attendance
upon the sacraments and last, but not
least, in the offerings"
Wafiings from the Choirs.
d. w. Watkins has made arrange
ments for special music at the Provi-
dence Methodist Episcopal church to-
morrow. g
The double chorus feature to be in.
troduced at the Twilight service of
First Presbyterian church one week
from tomorrow will be another advance
in the excellent musical services of that
church. Tallie Morgan has certainly
demonstrated the feasibility Of the
chorus choir His present choir of
twenty-four voices Is in the foremost
ranks, and the addition Of large
chorus of one hundred and fifty voices
on the gallery in the rear Of the church
will make the music decided attrac-
tion. The effect of one choir responding
to the other must be heard to be appre-
ciated. The first rehearsal last Thurs
day evening was thorough success.
Another feature to be introduced into
this service will be SOLIDS by singers from
other churches, Tomorrow week, Mrs.
Du. b. Dimmick will sing. Mr. Heath,
Of Newark, very fine tenor, has also
been engaged for few Sundays. Other
fine vocalists will be introduced from
time to time. One objection has, how
ever, been heard against this proposal,
viz: that the excellent musical pro-
gramme provided will attract a large
number Of, young people from other
churches, who will itsis feared, neglect
to- attend the meetings Of young peo-
ple's societies which .sre generally held
before the regular services. 1t is, how
ever. to be hoped that the respective
meetings viii not clash. ~

tract to furnish the music for the
