The Sundays after Epiphany Serve
to Manifest His Glory
A SMALL ENDOWMENT FUND

| EPISCOPAL
Sunday, January 18th, 1919. The Sum
day after Epiphany.
| Services: 1890, Morning Prayer and
Sermon.
11.45, Sunday School session:
7.3O, Evening Prayer and address.
The Feast of the Epiphany. January
6th.)
"And 10, the star which they saw in
the east went before them till it came
and stood where the young child was"
St. Matthew 11:9.
This feast is observed with great
propriety by the Church. and should be
celebrated with great thankfulness by
us Gentiles. because on this day (whose
name signifies MANIFESTATION the
Saviour of the world was made known
to the Gentiles. A strange and beauti
full star appeared to certain wise men
of the East, and God put it into their
hearts to follow the star until it led
them to the spot where the Infant King
lay: showing thus that it was His will
to include, not only His chosen people
the Jews, but all the nations of the
earth, "even to its uttermost parts,"
in His great salvation.
THE SUNDAYS AFTER EPIPHANY
AS on the feast of the Epiphany our
Saviour was shown to the Gentiles.
kings. and Magians from the East, so
the Sundays after Epiphany serve to
manifest His glory further to the world
by recountling His miracles, signs that
He is the expected Messiah, and proofs
of His divine and wondrous power The
Gospels display His wisdom among the
doctors. His prophecies to His disciples,
or His mighty deeds on land and sea;
now changing water into wine at Cana.
now curing leper by touch. para
lytic by word. or stilling the waves Of
stormy Gennesaret. The Sundays after
Epiphany varies from one to six, in
dependence on the moveable feast of
Easter, the queen of festivals.
A class for Confirmation instruction
will be formed tre first week in Feb
ruary. Those who have informed the
Rector of their desireto be confirmed at
the Bishops next visitation, March
16th,) please bear this in mind.
THE ENDOWMENT FUND
Few of our parishioners know that
we have a small Endowment Fund,
which should be much larger in order
that the Vestry carry on many inn
provements that some of us have in
mind. Nothing has been added to the
Fund since it was created many years
ago. 1t represents, in sense, our
belief in the future of st. Annes
Parish and our intention that it shall
he carried on after we who are now
responsible for it, have gone. We are
sure that when members of this parish
realize this, they will consider the
future of the Church they love, and
make provision for its maintainence, in
their wills. And we further the sug-
gestion-that a certain Sunday in the
year should be set aside for an offering
for this purpose. Some of our neighbor-
ing parishes have much larger endow-
ment fund than this parish.
We welcome to the parish Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Keener and son, Mr.. George
Keener, who come to US from st. John
Baptist Parish Milton. Delaware.

thing IL to 60 into the field now and
pick the earliest maturing corn. Pick

will tend to produce IN earlier strain of

there is no better way to store this
corn than the method of hanging it on

simple method Of clipping the upright
