ST. ANNE'S CHURCH
The Lenten Season Begins This
Year March The Eighth
A PLAN TO RAISE $5,OOO,OOO

Feb. 10th. Septuagesima S}lday.
Divine service: 1890 Morning Prayer
and Sermon.
11.45 Sunday School session.
7SO Evening Prayer and Address.
We 'nesd4y evening service, 30.
Meetings: The Parish Guild, or
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
The Junior Auxiliary. on Friday after
noon at 4 o'clock, in the P4rish House.
A PLAN TO RAISE s., 900, 900
These is a movement before the
Church to raise the sum of Five Million
dollars for the Retired Clergy and Pen.
sion Fund. The plan proposed is that
each D irish shall pay each year into the
pension fund an amount equal to seven
per cent of the rector's salary. That
seven per cent shall not be deducted
from the salary, but be separate con-
tribution from the parish. A rector
will be permitted to retire, when he IS
68 years old, on pension equal to one
half his average salary during his active
service. When he dies, his widow and
minor children will receive annual pen
sions.
Thus in the full tide of active service
he can throw himself into his work with
the complete abandonment of an officer
who knows that whatever happens to
him, his dear ones will be cared for, and
he, if living to old age, will go to his
grave with dignity and self-respect. In
order to take care Of those who should
be pensioned Immediately, and to give
the contributory plan time to move per-
manently on its own wheels, an initial
sum of five million dollars is to be
raised. There are 4, APO men IN active
service of the Episcopal Church in the
United states. Their average salary is
$1,000 per year. This is not all cash,
but includes the value of house, when
provided. More then 2,5c9 Of these
ministers, over one-half the total num-
Der, receives less than $1,000 year.
Only 237, including the 125 Bishops re-
ceive 81, 900 or over. More than 200 are
the older clergy, with very hard tasks.
THE LENTEN SEASON
The Lenten Season is not far off, ii
begins this year, on March the eighth,
Ash Wednesday: while Easter Day is
later than it has been for number OF
years, April 23d. We expect to have
the usual number of visiting Clergy tt
preach for US on the Wednesday even
ings in Lent. The schedule will be
given later We think sometimes that
the abstinence which the church expects
of her members during Lent is looked
upon in the same light as the small boy,
who, when asked what he was going to
do without during Lent replied :'hash, "
| hate it. s"
There is no such thing as utter failure
to one who has done his best. Were
this truth more often emphasized there
would be more courage and energy in
fused into sad and desponding hearts.
The compensation may seem shadowy
and afar off, but it is not so. 1t attends
every one who is conscientious, pains
taking, and will never desert him what
ever may be the fate of his exertions in
other respects.
