Margarets, invited the convention next
May to come to his church and parish
house. At that time st. Margaret's had

no disappointment experienced either by
the rector or the convention, as the
building of the parish house is proceeding
very satisfactorily. It VIII fill a great
parochial need.
The first floor will provide a large SUM-
day school room, and smaller rooms and
kitchens. Large doors will connect the
Sunday school room with the main body
of the church, which will enable it to be
used for large services.

library and study for the rector, which
will overlook Connecticut Avenue. The
central portion of the second floor will
be given over to a large light well, which
will illuminate the Sunday school room
below. The remainder of the second
floor will contain smaller meeting rooms
and robing rooms.

north Of the lot. running back ninety feet

house on Connecticut Avenue is to be
thirty feet, with the entrance through

the northeast corner.

ily reach $4,000, which Is the amount the
rector expects the hall to cost.
