The annual outing of the choir boys
of ST. Matthew's P. E. Church will take
place this year as usual. 1t will
be under the personal direction of
Paris R. Myers, organist and director
of the choir. The boys, about sixty in
number, will leave for their destination
very shortly, with supplies sufficient
for two weeks sojourn. They have
their tents, fishing tackle and hunting
supplies, and as usual will be admir-
ably equipped for base ball and other
games and sports. The annual outing
is looked forward to very eagerly by
the young vocalists, and this year they
are promised a delightful season.
Next Wednesday afternoon and even
ing the members of ST. Michaels par
ish, Edgington Lane, will hold their
annual picnic at the Pleasant Valley

ing on to make the affair great social
success. The management is placed in
very able hands. Orchestra music,
dancing, bowling and other amuse-
ments will be the features of the outing.
At a suitable time in the evening a
concert consisting of eight popular in
strumental selections will be given. A
very large attendance is assured, as
there are already about 500 tickets
sold.
The Chancel Chapter of St. Luke's
P. E. Church are workers and no mis-
take. They engaged a booth during
the week of the Elks' carnival and sold
delicious hot coffee, sandwiches and
other appetizing nic-nacs to the tune
of over $3.50. Result, they cleared
s191.2S. The remainder due on the
church debt was just $3.50. The chan
eel ladies passed their check over to
the trustees for that amount and now
ST Luke's is void of all Indebtedness.
