MOUNT OLIvET NOTES.

At the meeting of the Ladies' GUILD
last Tuesday night the approaching IL
Illustrated lecture by Miss Sophie B
Wright, which will take place at the
Pythian Hall on Friday, June 2, was
discussed and from the reports made
it will be quite a success. Miss So
phie Wright is one of the best known
lecturers in our State, the lecture will
be illustrated with stereopticon views
and the subject will be "Ben-Hur" In
addition to the lecture there will be
recitations by some of the leading tai.
ent. Mr.. Emmett Kennedy, one of the
best interpreters of the negro dialect,
will assist. All who heard him at the
musicale last year and at other times
will want to hear him again, and there
are others, of whom more anon.
To-day at IL a. m. Rev. Reginald Irv-
ing Raymond will be advanced to the
priesthood at Christ Church Cathedral.
He has done a great work while in the
Diaconate, having erected the church
in Ruston and begun the construction
of a rectory at Natchitoches. 1t is a
matter of great regret that he is going
to leave our diocese to accept work in
Pulaski, Va. Our prayers and best
wishes go with him to his new field
that his labors may be abundantly
blessed and his health entirely re-
stored.
At the meeting of the Mems Bible
Class last Monday night it was an
nounced that the teacher would show
some Biblical pictures through the ra-
diopticon at our next meeting on Mon
day, May 22nd. The class is open to
all men and we would be glad to have
many present on that occasion.
The Sunday school picnic last Satur-
day was quite a success. The attend
ance was about as large as usual, and
all who attended seemed to greatly
enjoy the outing at City Park. The F.
o. C.s had quite part in ministering
to the wants of the people and many
were the queries, What do those let
tiers stand for?"
The rector announced that at a meet
ing of the teachers of the Sunday
school it had been determined that
any pupil who might be going away
for the summer who desired cards
known as Absentee Cards." would be
given them and if properly signed and
returned showing that while absent
from our Sunday school they had at

day while away this attendance would
count as if they We're present in per-
son and so not interfere with their OBJ

or attendance.
Owing to Council the rector could
lot visit the Missions on the Lower
Coast, so tomorrow he leaves for those
points and will be absent on Sunday.

same hours: Litany, 1880 a. m; Sun
