/ DR.. Grenfel is to be congratulated on
! the way he brings to the notice of the
public the small work that he is doing at
St Anthony. He has certainly attracted
attention to u and the probability in that
many persons think il is enterprise OF
/ large proportions. As a matter Of fact
there are probably not n thousand people
on all ne Labrador shore from October
to June, although from June to October
there are large numbers OF Newfound-
land fishermen and their families who
are there as summer visitors But to
many members of the church il is great
pity that the Episcopal Church. which
has been doing such a magnificent work
in Newfoundland and on Labrador. for
well nigh a century scarce takes the
trouble to let its work be known. At this
very moment. on the Labrador coast
there are four clergy OF that church en-
gagged in alI-year-round work. but Of this
work scarce perhaps a dozen people know
about il in all this city. and the prOpOr-
tion is probably fewer outside Of il.
This week at Epiphany Church there

. The Man with the Water Pitcher" On
Wednesday at midday the rector pre-
sented the alternative. Jesus or Barab-
bas." and at the later service the rector
again preached with Peters fall and re-
pentanCe as his subject On THURSDAY

dress at both services: at midday on the

The confirmation services this year
at Epiphany have been larger than
usual: 10 less than seveuty-tnr-e persons

year in the parish church and Epiphany

The Rev. c. Herbert Reese will be
away from st. Thomas Parish for four

adjacent thereto. During Mr.. Reece's ao-
sence from Washington the Rev. Thomas

quenCe were unusually interesting

The board of missions in New York has
: sent to the clergy and laity mainly inter-
, ested its Eastertide bulletin. 1t is not
particularly pleasant reading. for It
shows that the board is facing serious
financial situation. II states that unless
immediate and vigorous efforts are made

: dividuals to give more largely, the mis-
4 sionary year will close with consider
able deficit. The trouble appears TO be
not an unwiIlingness to help the board to
do all il desires so much as the multiphc-
ity of appeals which come from all quar-
ters and the trouble is that there is only
A certain number of people in every par
