A notice among the personals in one
of our church papers. the Southern
Churchman. to the effect that Rev. g.
Herbert Reese, curate OF st. Thomas.
has accepted call to Trinity Church.
diocese OF West Texas, and will begin
his work Immediately after Easter, is
an error. Since Rev. Mr.. Reese came TO |
St Thomas he has had good many
calls of one kind and another, and one
to West Texas among the rest. Replying
to the call that he would go down after
Easter and look the field over is not
exactly accepting a call to rectorship,
but this Is as far as the matter has
gone. Probably the personal IN the South
ern Churchman is the result of the wish
being the father TO the thought in the
minds of some friends of the parish.
DIR. Robert Johnston, rector of the
Church OF Our Saviour, has been speak,
ing this week at Epiphany Church at
the midday services, which as usual in
Lent. are being held there. DIR. Johnston
is always forceful and interesting. The
speaker next week will be Rev. Floyd
Tompkins, d. D., rector of Holy Trinity,
Philadelphia. DR.. Tompkins is perhaps
today the most popular and well-known
speaker among our Bishops of Other
Clergy. He is leadef. which is more
than one can say of every effective
speaker. Probably he is as well known
outside the church as in it. The sue
cess Of his night services in Philadelphia
IS the wonder of his brethren. All. should
make an effort to hear him.
