coaster Monday, at the Guild hall OIL

meeting was distinguished by show
of enthusiasm and good feeling thai
was most. encouraging. The Vestry
for the year was chosen, reports OF
officers were heard and the young Ia
hdies of ST Agnes Guild served light
Refreshments. When adjournment
came it was with a feeling that St
James parish had entered upon new
| era of usefulness in the community
and year of unqualified prosperity in
the work of the church is in prospect
The vestry elected Is as follows; w
R. Lacey, John A. Kalbach, o. F. Nc

John F., Lcaey, b. w. Preston. L. F,
Wollcott, C. v. Hoffman,, J. H. Pick.

H. w. Gleason was chosen by the
meeting for the position Of Senior
Warden for the year, and w. s. Win
die as Junior Warden. L. F. Wollcott
was elected Clerk of the Parish, and
F. e. Green was chosen Treasurer.
The reports OF the guilds of the
church showed a remarkable condition
of parish affairs in the face of the fact
that the parish has been without a
rector during the greater part OF the
year. The Sunday school was kept
alive through the unceasing effort and
faithfulness of a number OF the ladies
of the church, and its work is excep-

amount of funds raised has been re-
markable considering the size of the
school. The per capita amount of the
years collections will stand at the
head OF the schools OF the Diocese.
Encouraging reports were read by
the ladies' guilds. The efforts put
forth during the season added the
amount of three hundred dollars to
the organ fund which now amounts
to something over seventeen hundred
dollars, and the new organ is becom-
ing more OF reality every day. Some
of the leaders OF the parish are fav-
orable to plan for immediate pur-
chase OF the organ. The instrument
desired would cost in the neighbor-
hood Of three thousand dollars This
additional sum necessary TO purchase
would be- forthcaming more rapidly,
say the advocates of the move, II the

The reports of the other guilds were
equally flattering and encouraging.
The amount of interest maintained
seems unusual when it is understood
that the church has been without a
rector while the parish work has been
progressing. Rev. w. p. Williams ac-
Icepted the call to the parish late last
fall and came from Denver TO take
up the work. He has been given 10y
al support in his Introductory work
and the membership feel that the
church is entering upon season of
better things and greater prosperity
than it has known in years. Outside
interest is greater than in previous
years and is in harmony with the
work of the parishioners. The attend
ance Isl gaining in numbers and the
prospects of additions to the church
membership and OF growth in the par
ish is matter OF congratulation
among the, older members and the
management. IS
