INFANT BAPTISM
There are number of children in the
Parish who are unbaptized. And we
would call the attention of the parents
to the Rubric in the Prayer Book, page
244, that Baptism should not be admin
istered but upon Sunday, and other
Holy Days, or Prayer-days. And at
the appointed place (Church) in the
Morning or Evening Service. Also at
tention is called to that important
Rubric on page 251, that no unneces-
sary delay be made in bringing the little
ones to receive this most important Sa-
crament.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
The parents are cordially invited to
attend a session of the Sunday School,
and become acquainted with the Teach
ers, and most earnestly are they asked
to see that the children study the Sun
day School lesson athome. There must
be cooperation on the part of the par
ents and home study else the teaching
received at a short session in Sunday
School amounts to little.
We are still desirous of securing one
of the younger women of the Parish to
take Sunday School class. Who will
offer? Remember the promise, 'they
that turn many to righteousness" Dan.
XII:9, Which please read.
LECTURES
In the June notes in this column, we
spoke of several friends who offered
their services to come to the Parish and
give us instructive lectures. The Very
Rev. H. B. Bryan, Dean of Trinity
Cathedral, Easton, Marland has offered
to lecture on his work on the Isthmus
| of Panama. And Francis Hoffec-
ker, Esq, of Wilmington, Della, has
consented to give US his lecture entitled
''The Trial of Christ from a Legal
Standpoint. And all the remuneration
these gentlemen require is that there
be a large attendance.
Will the Ladies Guild, or the Woman's
or Junior Auxiliary or jointly assume
the responsibility of giving these Lee
lures under their auspices? Let us
have your opinion.

Do you know of anyone who is with
out Church home? Love and labor on
your part will bring them to ST. Annes.
Do you know of any one in sorrow, in
suffering, whether in poverty or in
wealth? Then your love and labor will
show them the kind of inspiration which
you get from your church. The diciples
of Jesus went out and found those who
needed the Christ. There are several
organizations in the church for women,
boys and girls. Are you vitality inter-
ested in any of them? Here is daily
opportunity. Will you not set aside a
definite time to do a definite thing
for your church, for your God? The
burden is heavy, if you choose to
look at it that way, but in the
light of call from God the privilege
and opportunity is great and glorious.
1t is a wonderful thought, God asking
