LITcHF1ELD ARcHDEAcoNRY.

The annual meeting of the Litch- field Archdeaconry was held in St Michael's church, Litcbfield, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 19 and 20. It was very good meeting. About 20 of the clergy were present. 1t Is at this meeting that the apportionments for Diocesan Missions are made to the parishes and also the appropriations. The amount asked from the arch deaconry is practically the same as last year, so that the apportionment to the parishes is the same. Our own parish is asked to give S1O5, which is the same as last year. Another matter that was discussed was the matter of the deficit in the missionary treasury. The parishes of the diocese are now do- ing very we'll in giving to Diocesan Missions. Last year they gave a little more than enough to do the work. But number of years ago they were not so willing and gradually 8 debt of about Sl0, 900 accumulated. By stren- uous effort and by the generosity of a few individuals this has been reduced to S6,O0O. Burton Mansfield, the treas urer of the Missionary Society, feels very sure that if once we can get out of debt we shall be able now to keep out, and urged the board very strongly to make an effort to reduce the debt by 1000 this year. In order to do so he asked of this archdeaconry S25O for that purpose. The archdeacon could do no less than present the matter to the brethren and call for voluntary of-
 ferings. The brethren responded loy- all as they ever do, and the amount
 will be raised. The rector of this par
 ish agreed to give S25 toward it. The work of the deaconess in the arch deaconry was discussed and new fields for her work suggested. We wish we could keep her here all the time, and we believe that by the time the appro- priation already made for her work is exhausted people will want her so much that some way will be found to keep her good while longer. Sunday school work and new methods of teach ing was subject that called out 8 very interesting discussion also, and the time was all too short to do it jus- tice. The missionary meeting in the parish church, Tuesday evening, was we'll attended and of unusual interest.
