cHuDREN's DAY OBSERVANCE.


Preparations are being made for q eel
ebration of Children's day, which is Sun
day, June II, fully in keeping with the
occasion. REGULATIONS and singing by
the children and talk to the children
by the pastor will largely make up the
program. An interesting feature of the
day will be q brief exercise conducted
by Miss Lucy G. Stock, with the aid of
school lesson should be taught to the
primary department. Miss Stock is gu
perintendent of primary work for the
Connecticut Sunday school association,
and she will speak briefly in the morn
ing to the children and also more fully
in the evening, giving, no doubt, many
hints that will be useful to Sunday
school workers. The Children's day
service is to be at II O'Clock In the morn
ing and Miss Stocks address at 7.30 in
the evening.

number OF communicates registered has in
creased from 81 in 1891, to las in 1898. The
Sunday school has varied but little from year
to year, and there are about the same num-
Der OF children in the parish now as at other
times, though large part OF them are at
present too young to attend the classes.
Thenumber of families has ranged from 60
to IS, and the number OF individuals from 24C
to 30. There are but few in the parish who
have not receiver b tptism, few who are old
enough who have not been confirmed and q
large per cent OF those who reside here, at.
tend church and receive communion.
Seven years ago the church received aid
from the Board OF Missions, but tor the last
two years the parish has been selfsuppOrt
ing. What the parish needs is a permanent
tundSOf not less than $4,000, the income OF
which should insure its future support and
usefulness.
recent exodus of families, on account OF
business changes, leaves the parish with
about the same number OF people it had
seven years ago.

SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF MR. wRIGHTs REC
ToRSHIP.
Last Sunday was the seventh anniversary
OF the beginning of the rectorship of Rev o. o.
Wright, at Sandy Hook. And. in commemor'
alton of that event the people of the parish
held social and reception in the parish hall
on Thursday evening.
In reviewing the work of these years the
following summary of statistics was given !:
The whole number OF families connected
with the parish within this period is about
100; individuals, about $40; bhptisns, 81; cor
hrlned, in five Glasses. 81; commandments ad-
ded, So; removed by transfer, Is; by death, l9;
and one turned Baptist. Received by trans
ter, 26; marriage, 8; burials, 5S; OF whien
about SO were of persons connected with the
parish. There have not been any great
changes in the conditions or work of the par
ish from year to year. Indeed, it is well un-
derstood that the situation is such that no
great changes could be reasonably expected.
St Johns is of necessity q small parish; it's
growth has bet mainly the natural increase
within its own families; few have moved in;
more have gone out. The church raise up
class after class OF young people, many of
whom must go out to other place and par
1shes. A large ner cent of members register
ed are practically nonresident and come
home occasionally, This is but the common
experience OF the country churches. the
