ladies' of the church have been indus

successful bazaar. On December I'd,

The place is being we'll cleaned and

On Thursday night a little perform

emergency would do?" Sir" re-

Advent.

Advent is the Latin for eoming.
The four Advent Sundays precede
the great festival of our Savior's ma
tivity. They are so called because
they are designated to prepare us to
commemorate the Advent or Coming
of Christ in the flesh at Christmas,
and also to prepare for his second
coming to judge the world. The Ad-
vent season is a penetential season.
The Benedicite is sung after the first
lessons instead of the TeDeum. The
Benedictur is sung in full, after the
second lesson. Beginning with next
Sunday, which is the first in Advent,
the rector OF st. Thomas church will
deliver a series Of four on
the four Sunday mornings of this
season. The first subject will be,

Memorial to Mary AIMING.

Lyme Regis church. which. like
many another building in that quaint
old Dorset seaport, is in danger of
slipping into the waves. has compare
lively little of interest for tourist or
townsman to loiter over. Its most re.
markable memorial is the stained
glass window to Mary Aiming. This
was the schoolgirl who, in 1911, dis
turbed the lost rest of the saurian
monster - I~cthyosau:us Platydon-
whose remains now lie IN tko Natural
History museum at South Kensington.
As curious a find as any that ever
came to the net of a child on the
beach, But Mary Aiming possibly
had that sort of thing in her blood,
for her father was the proprietor of
