The Christmas offering is a matter
OF great Importance this year as the
outstanding obligations against the par
ish are many, and few OF them met,
and paid up as yet. Consequently the
rector and vestry are asking for a
prompt and generous response. The
parish of Mt. Olivet needs an adequate
revenue in order to maintain its work
effectively. On Christmas day and also
on the Sunday after Christmas a spe-
cial Offering will be in order. Christ.
mas Offering envelopes will be provided
and we ask that they be used freely to
aid the parish in meeting its financial
obligations.

Although the wealth was most disa
greeable on last Sunday morning a
goodly number of Auxiliary members
| came out at 1880 to attend the Cor.
porate Communion Service of the Wo
mans Auxiliary, but still we ask. where
were the others? On Christmas Day
let every communicate be present for
the celebration of the sacrament OF
the altar at either six or nine o'clock in
the morning. 1t has been said by one
of our English bishops as follows: 1T
is notable that of all festivals, Christ.
mas has most thoroughly associated IT.
self with natural joy. domestic love
and universal charity" Let us realize
this truth that day.
