MOUNT oLIVET NOTES.

The congregation at the early ser
vice last Sunday morning was very
good one, but the attendance at the
right services has not been up to the
standard. We hope to see an increase
in the number of those attending all
the services.
Last Sunday the rector spoke on the
life of the great st. Augustine, Bishop
of Hippo in Africa, of his faithful
mother, St. Monica, and her prayers In
his behalf. At night, Rev. Sidney L..
Vail preached helpful sermon on the
subject of the TRANSPORTATION, Sun
dav being the Feast of the Transfgur-
alton. His theme being the transfig-
uration and glorification of life
through living in an atmosphere OF
prayer.
At the meeting of the vestry last
Thursday night the question of meet
ing the debt on the rectory was dis
cussed and it was decided to make use
of the method heretofore tried of
placing boxes in the homes of the
members of the congregation, which
should be returned by November 9Th.
It is hoped that by this means the
greater part of the obligation can be
met. And we feel sure that We will
not be disappointed in our hope.
The rector returned on Friday morn
ing from a visit down the river to the
missions at Union Settlement and
Grand Prairie where he had been with
the Bishop of the Diocese for the pur'
pose Of confirmation. Five were con-
firmed in the former place and three
in the latter.
We rejoice to learn that our good
friends, Mrs. Theo Lahausen and w
B. Fleming, who had been on the sicl
list, are now on the road to recovery.
