FEELS LACK OF HARMONY
Rev. Frederick Leeds Urges St. Phil
 lips People to Avoil That Most

That his people must not reconcile themselves to a failure of vision, a lack of earnest prayer and failure of love and charity, together with a lack of individual and collective re- sponsibility, was urged by Rev. Fred eriek Leeds, priest of St. Phillips Episcopal mission at the annual meet ing Thursday night. Rev Mir, Leeds said he had almost unconsciously be- come aware of a lack of harmony in the church that would lead to a strained relation were it not curbed.
 In his annual report he spoke of achievements gained during the year in remodeling the basement for suit able social work. He asked the par ents in his parish to hold deeper re- sponsibility for the welfare of their children. The reports from auxiliary organizations were considered.
 Referring to the financial situation that has caused the treasurer more than little worry, MT. Leeds said: T had rather worship with my people in small room, with stove for heating and deal board for desk and have it free from debt, than to worship in $100,e00 building with $50.000 choir and $15,000 organ which had not been paid for" He urged that the executive committee wise the bills of the mission that the treasurer would not be subjected to so much worry as to which bills should receive first attention. The treasurer's report showed the mis- sion to be $500 in debt
 This executive committee for the new year was elected: Lay vice chairman, L. E. Payne; treasurer, Judge Frank F. Russell; clerk, Pierre H. Myers; and William F. Penny, An drew V. Frost and Arthur D. Lown.

S14,3OO DROPPED
 FROM MORTGAGE
Best Report In History of St.
 Mary's
Hearty Effort By Pastor and Parish. toners Make Wonderful Show N ing.

With "a large percentage of the church debt cleared away, with i'm provements made about the church ! property, and with substantial bal ance on hand, Rev. Charles F. Bed ard and parishioners of St. Mary's l church are starting the new year with one of the brightest prospects tne i church has ever had. What St amed at the beginning of 1918 a task gi- gantic in it's proportions has been met by concerted effort steadily in oper- ation to do away with the load of debt and bring the church to clear basis.
 The goal set by Fr, Bedard has been attained and St. Mary's los4zins back over the year of hard work, is well pleased with its showing, and a new inspiration is being gained in all it's departments by the thought of work we'll done.
 The total revenue for the year, as given out in Fr. Bedard's report Sun day, including $1595.39 as balance from 1917 and including S2225 bor- rowed during the year for the con- struction of steps at the front of the property, was $34, 4,564.63. This was the amount which the church people set themselves to raise and the work was accomplished.
 The expenses of the church aside from the running expenses which were as usual, show that $14, 300 has been paid off the mortgage, This is the greatest cause of qualification.
 Improvements in front of the prop erty and about the sanctuary cost $3000 and improvements in the school buildings cost S1000 This leaves a balance on hand of $2144.75.
 All that remains of the church debt is $4000 payable at a bank, and 5000 in notes, making a total of $5000.
 There were 154 baptisms during the year, 39 marriages, PA burials of adults and 15 burials of children. Bishop John J. Milan, Hartford, con firmed 204 children on June 16. The population of the parish Is 400 souls. The report is indicative of the pros porous times and tf 2 iifign wages that have been experienced by the people, vet without the hard work of lFr. Bed ard and his assistants the good result could never have been accomplished. It is hoped that further improvements about the church property, especially in the parochial schools, can be made the coming year.
 Fr. Bedard has been in charge of the parish six years, coming to Put nam from Hartford Aug. 15, 1912. He was pastor of the Hartford church twelve and half years.
