fering from nervous troubles. FOR some
time he has not been able TO conduct
the services in his parish church. II Is
earnestly hoped that he viii soon be sum-
GENTLY restored TO do his work with his
accustomed vigor.
A church building for st. Agnes Chapel
has become an immediate necessity. The
congregation. under the fostering care OF
Rev. c. W. whitmore. its vicar and pas
tor. has grown so rapidly that its present
place OF worship Is now entirely made
quate. With a new building. the work
would go forward by leaps and bounds,
so great Is the opportunity. Attractive
plans have been prepared for a church
building which will combine all necessi-
ties for reverert worship and parish
work. Negotiations are also under way
for new site, which will be a great ele-
ment in the working out of prosperous
future. More than s., go is now in hand.
but 1900 more will be needed. w. l..

ment. is spending most Of the month Of

The work for the deaf mutes of this
city. which is located at the Church oil
the Good Shepherd. Is q work which |
should receive far more substantial rec
ognition than 1t does. Done on the most
economical basis and costing not more |
than 500. there are only eleven contrjbu- |
tors. whose contributions only amountl
TO about $50 per annum. Archdeaconl
Williams is in charge of the financial
end. This IL any one wants TO help a /
good cause.
BY common consent, the address Of
Rev. David L. Ferris was the feature
OF the convention OF the Sunday schools
of this department; held at Epiphany on
Tuesday last. II was exceedingly helpful
in its suggestiveness. Mr. Ferris is as
sistant minister Of Calvary Church, Pitts
burg. sometimes spoken of as Mr.. Henry
Frick's Church, from the fact that he
gave its cost-S95O.OOO.
The address of Rev. George II. McGrew.
d. D.. rector of Silver Spring AId) Par
ish, was also regarded as one of the
best delivered at the convention.
Many OF the clergy nave been asked
to aid the work OF the Central China
Famine Relief Committee, which is try
ing TO succor 100000 helpless people In
China, who. through no fault of their
own, are facing starvation. Rev. A. NJ
Sherman, OF Hankow, writing to one OF
the clergy, says:
Il have been getting into touch with
the work of the Central China Famine
Relief Committee, and consider it Of such
great and immediate Importance that 1
have taken the liberty of asking them to
write you, and Of assuring them OF your
and cooperation. China is fac
ng the most terrible famine in many
Years. and I'm the midst of the fight for I
liberty has but little opportunity TO careI !
for the famine situation. She is in des-
Derate need Of our help"
