All Saints Day (November 1st,) falls
this year on a Monday. That blessed
holy day possesses charm that is all
its own. 1t is the great day on which
We are invited to remember our loved
dead and to thank God for the good ex-
amples of all those, who, having finished
their coure, do now rest from their
labors. AS we advance along life's
pathway and frien1s whom we knew
and loved in the flesh enter into the
spirit world, we think more than ever
of the Church Expectant of which they
form part. All Saints makes it ap-
peal to the entire human race. Let us
keep the day as the Church would have
US and as our hearts suggest.
The Rev. w. H. Croft, of Clayton,
Del, for many years connected with
the clerical force of the Delaware rail-

petuaD by the late Rt. Revered Bishop
Coleman, in 1902. He oficiated in st.
Annes Church as one of the special
Preachers during the Lenten Season.
A Clergyman friend OF the Rector, has
presented t. Annes Parish, with a green
silk Burse and Veil, for the Communion
Service A Book for the Altar Services
is badly needed, as the one in use is
very much worn. Who wishes to pre-
sent new one ?
The outlook is bright for another
year of splendid activity for both Sum
day School and the Auxiliaries work.
We are glad to welcome back again in
our midst, one who was most efficient
teacher, and who has now assumed the
post of Organist in the Sunday School.
We are glad to welco ne any 0ne in the
Socities of the Church, who is willing
to assume definite share of response
bllity in work which makes for the
efficiency of st. Annes' as an agency
for good in the community.

A letter from the Bishop of Mexico
has reached the Missions House in New
York, brought out of the country by a
miner on horseback. DIR. Aves could
not of course refer to Mexican affairs
but he states that church services con-
tinue in some places with fairly good
attendance, and that the st. Andrews
School for boys is doing satisfactorily.
The Bishop is entirely cut off from the
outside world and can only work and
wait until better days come.
