The following interesting article ap-
pears in this weeks issue of St. Johns
Bulletin"
This guild is so far ahead in its sup
port of the Flower Mission that the

Friday the 11th, the ladies who had the
work in charge made up 1s9 bouquets. and
the next morning they were carried TO
Christ Hospital, the City Hospital, and
the Old Ladies' Home Taking the two
weeks together during which st. Andrews $
has been on duty there is the unexeelled

high record to beat we do not believe
she will be content to take second place
in this work. The names of the ladies
