MOUNT OllVET NOTES.

There was a very interesting meet
ing of the Ladies' Guild held al the
rectory last Tuesday night, with quite
a far attendance. The approaching
Jubilee Exercises" were spoken about
and interest aroused in this annivers-
airy of woman's work for the Master.
At this meeting the date for the regu-
lar meeting of the Guild was changed
to the third Tuesday in the month,
instead of. as at present, the Tuesday
after the third Sunday.
Yesterday a few faithful women
gathered at the early service together
to pray for the work of the Woman's
Missionary societies. The rector
spoke briefly of appositiveness of the
occasion, it being the feast known as
st. Luke's day. The divine physician,
whose praise is in the Gospel, the
wholesome medicines of whose doc
trine the church prays may heal the
diseases of the soul That on this day
We might pray for the healing of the
wounds in the body of Christ, the
Church, that all who profess and call
themselves Christians may be one.
The confirmation class for children
meets every Sunday al p. N.
Some of the teachers and a few of
the pupils of the Sunday school went
with the rector last Saturday to visit
the Cabildo and the State Museum, ST.
Louis Cathedral and other points OF
interest in the old quarter of the city
The rector has promised to take an
other party sightseeing on Saturday.
