The amount received from the Rum
mage Sale, conducted by the Parish

voted to the New Carpet fund. We
take this liberty of thanking all those

donated contributions to the success
of the same.
Well | swan, If them ere actor
folks amt going to come to town again.
A Musical Light Opera is to be given
the auspices of the Junior Auxiliary
(the Missionary Society of St. Annes'
Church, in the Opera House. on Decem-
Der the goth. More fun than farmers
Picnic. Come one come all There
will be many pretty musical hits. and
some fine dancing, and clever acting.
Remember the hit that "Billys' Bun
galow" made? There was standing
room only that evening, and that play
was repeated in Odessa and Chesapeake
City to crowded houses. Well! from
all reports this Entertainment, entitled
The Queens Pagent" will far surpass
anything ever attempted in Middletown
before. Get your tickets early or you
will miss seeing the finest amateur per-
fOrmance that ever came to town.
The Rev. John E. Parks, Rector of
st. Jares', Stanton, DEL, has kindly
offered to preach in st. Annes' on
Sunday evening in Advent. Announce
ment of the date will be made later.
Have you noticed the increase in the
Choir? We know there are quite few
members of the Sunday School who
sing well, and we cordially invite them
to join the Junior Choir.
For the convenience of some of our
members, and because we believe that
all ought to have the privilege of re-
ceiving the Holy Communion frequently
we have decided to have an early Cele-
bration of the Holy Communion ON the
third Sunday in the month, at 8 A. M.
A hearty welcome is extended to all
attending the services of this Church.
If you are not identified with any other
we shall be pleased to see
yon among our regular attendants and
invite you to make your church
home with us.
The attendance at the Sunday School
has increased lately and we now have a
fine corps of teachers. But we are in
need of laytsuperintendent. Who will
volunteer in this blessed work?
We are grateful to the Parishioners
who prt sented the Rector with the
handsome and serviceable black silk bag
for his vestment. One thoughtful lady
provided the silk and another made the
bag. 1t was much needed for the old
one has seen constant use for fifteen
years. The Rector, or the Church, is in
need of new Surplice, here is another
for some one to provide
much needed, as the sur
1lices belonging to the Church are much
worn, and need replacing.
We wish to thank the parishioner who
so kindly volunteered his services in
decorating the Chancel for the Thanks
giving Day services. We have heard
many expressions of how beautiful the
decorations we've, and so tastefully ar
'anged. We alsos wish to thank all
hose who contributed the fruits and
vegetables used in decorating.
