We try in these Church notes to give
simple explanation of the holy days of
the Church, adapted to all, indeed, who
ask, with regard to them, what mean
We by this service?" And the first of
these occurring in September are the
Ember days. These are certain days
set apart for fasting and prayer, be-
fore the ordination which are performed
in the Churches on the following Sun
days. In this practice we copy the ex
| ample of the Apostles, who prayed and
tasted before laying their hands on
those separated for the work of the
ministry. The Ember days occur at
four seasons of the year. being the We'd
nesday, Friday and Saturday after the
first Sunday in Lent, after Whitsunday.
after the fourteenth of September, and
after the thirteenth of December. Of
the other Saints days in September we
will speak later
Don't forget that the Fall session of
the Sunday School begins next Sunday.

young ladies, who will volunteer?
The Church is open every day from
nine until five o'clock. Come in-Rest
and Pray. Pray for your Country, Con-
gress, the President, our boys on the
firing line, for those at sea. Pray for
Peace.
We have placed notice in the vesti-
bule of the Church which reads: ST.
lence Whoever tn ou art that enteres
this Church leave it not, without at
prayer for thyself, for thy friends and
kindred, for all who worship here, and
for him who ministers. Let US all OBJ
serve it.
CHURCH EXTENSION
go ye into all the world and preach
the Gospel to every creature. " Teach
Them" Heal the sick" This is the
command of Christ. Our Church is do
ing all these Things in many lands. We
have bishops, clergy doctors, nurses,
hospitals, teachers, colleges and schools
and orphanages in Africa, China, Japan,
Brazil and Haiti, Mexico, Cuba, the
Canal Zone, as well as in all the possess
sions of the United States. Our Church
pays the salaries of 80 bishops and the
stipend of 2, 584 workers. Are you do
ing your bit by contributing in the Mis-
sion-side of the pledge envelope for this
work Our Parish is asked to do its
share We must not selfish1y absorb
for our own good all our resources But
we must share the burden which our
own privileges and prosperity place
upon US.
The Vestry have placed an excellent
large electric light in an Opaque globe
on an ornate iron bracket over the en-
trance of the Church, and the front of
Church is brilliantly lighted on dark
evenings. This is long wished for and
necessary improvement.
