special mention. It's membership is
both active and honorary, the honorary

The active membership consists of
about forty young men; divided into
committees of five, who by visitation
and diligent inquiry ascertain if any
in the parish are destitute or suffering.

meeting; these meetings open with the
query, DO you know any one in
need" Destitute cases are reported to
the steward, with an order for supplies.
Near the church they maintain a regu-
lar store room and supply house, buy
ing direct from wholesalers who usual

is correspondingly great. Their methods
of work, the energy and seIf-sacrifice
displayed as we'll as their liberal con-
tribution of money, merit both study
and imitation.
