THE SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC
| The members of the Sunday Schoo
will hold their annual outing at Angus.
tine Piers, on Wednesday. August 9th.
A number of the children have pleaded
for the picnic, and several teachers
have spoken of it, and if a committee
| of teachers will get together and ar.
range fer the same they will find q
ready response. AS heretofore we
shall have to ask those having automo-
biles to loan them for the day and con.
vey the children to Augustine Beach.
There will be about forty to provide for
with lunch baskets. Automobiles meet
at the Parish House at nine O'Clock,
and leaving the Piers for the return
trip at five O'Clock. There is ample
time to make preparations, but bear
the date in mind and let US hear from
you. We shall also have to ask all
those kind friends wha have heretofore
contributed funds for the expense of
the ice cream, etc, to remember US this
year.
Let every member of the Sunday
School look forward to being present at
the opening session the first Sunday in
September. The Lesson quarterlies be-
ginning September will be distributed
in time and parents are urged to- assist
in the work of our Sunday School by
teaching their children at home.
Go to church. You are needed. Go
for your own sake as we'll as for the
sake of the others whom your presence
will help. Can you afford to miss the
service Of public worship? Take the
family with you, invite your friends.
This is your chance for home missionary
work !
At the communion service, catecu-
men or non-member, may leave the
church, after the sermon, with pro-
priety, but good churchman will not
do so, when herealizes that he is turn
ing his back upon Christ's Sacramento
Presence, his offered pardon and bene-
diction. The service is ordinarily con-
cluded few minutes aftek the noon
hour and the preaching and service
ought to lead to praying. At the altar,
Jesus comes as our Saviour, beyond the
grave, as our Judge
We ave promised a number of new
prayer books and hymnals for the pews!
But we are sorely in need of about ten
new hymnals and six chant books, with
music, for the use of the choir. Those
We are using are very much worn and
have been in use for aboA eight years
and were furnished by the Vestry and
Rector jointly. Does anyone desire to
help US get these?
In speaking of new things, everyone
will be surprised to see how new every
thing about the church looks. The in
terror, walls, ceiling. sahctuary-f -furni-
ture. the sacristy, have all received sew
eral coats of paint and varnish. And
when the new electrollers, the carpet
runners in the aisles and the sanctuary
is s'cappeted, everything indeed will look
spic and span. Everyone who has seen
the renovations have pronounced them
simply beautiful. The committee inf
charge have done their work wisely and
well and deserve great deal of credit
and praise for the thorough manner in
which they have done the things IN

is hoped to use the church for worship
the first Sunday in September.
