St. ANNE'S CHURCH
The Rector Tells Of Some Pressing
Needs And Asks
FOR HIS MEMBERS ASSISTANCE

Sunday, Sept. 10TH The Twelfth
Sunday after Trinity.
Divine service 10. 80, Morning prayer
and Sermon.
The Rev. A. s. Cooper, of Ichang,
China, Missionary of the Episcopal
Church, will be the Speaker in St.
! Anne's Church on Sunday morning. The
Public cordially invited to the service.
7.30 Evening Prayer and Address.
The Sunday School outing which was
held on Wednesday, August Both, near
Reeses' Mill, on Silver Lake, was in
every way most successful. There were
present, Sc children and 26 adults. There
were races, boating, swimming galore.
And we wish to thank al those who so
kindly loaned their automobiles andcon-
tributed towards the expenses of the
outing.
1t is pleasure to report that the APP
portionment for Missions, both Diocesan
and General, for the year ending Sep
tember 1st, has been already met and
somewhat exceeded by St. Anne's
Parish.
DESIDERATE
There are several things we wish
members of the Parish would help us to
obtain. And the most important is a
Chest of drawers for the Church hang
ings and Stoles. This chest would take
the place of the bureau now used for
this purpose in the Sacristy. Such a
chest could be made to order, and it
would permit of the hangings being
laid out full length and avoid creasing.
We presume such case could be made
for about twenty-five dollars. Secondly.
can we not have the service Of some of
the younger members of the congrega-
ton to form an auxiliary choir to help
principally in the Evening service
Thirdly. Our system of electric
lighting is inadequate, and for a
small sum we can install an inexpensive
indirect lighting.
All this is more necessary thar it may
seem to most of you. These are three
of the things for which we wish your
support: And we shall be greatly en-
couraged by such pledges or gifts
towards any of these objects as you feel
able to make.
Dear Parishioners
Our regular conprer ations les
pecially the evening attendance) do not
fairly represent to this community the
strength and the influence Of St. Anne's
Parish-as manifested in countless other
ways. This, however, is of little mo-
ment compared to what it means to
God and to ourselves. Whosoever con-
fesses Christ before men, Christ
will confess before the Heavenly
Father. If there is any argument which
dethrones worship from its supreme
place as an occasion to witness to God
in Christ the writer does not know it.
AS your Rector, dear reader, and as
part-for your soul,
charge you, if these words apply, to lay
them on your mind. But, oh, let me
rather-lay on your hearts the obliga-
tions of love to Him who gave Himself
that the way might be opened for you
to do His will which, as to worship, He
has made so plain through both example
and precept.
Yours affectionately,
P L. Donaghay.

Matty delivered this battling ball
