February Path. st. Mattias' Day.
Acts / :26 1.-The lot fell upon Matthias;
and he was numbered with the eleven
apostles.
st. Matthias was probably one of the
seventy disciples chosen under divine
guidance to be an apostle in the place
of the traitor Judas. The church on
this day prays to be preserved from
false apostles, and guided by true and
faithful pastors. Let US who love the
church join in the prayer that those
who have received the seal OF their
ministry in direct and unbroken success
sion from the hands of Christ's chosen
apostles, may in no wise bring dishonor
upon their sacred calling, but with the
same faith, love and zeal, devote them
selves to their Masters service.

at the kectory on Thursday afternoon,
at two O'Clock.

Hill. Smyrna; F. M. Kirkus. VIM. n
Laird, of Wilmington, and the Rector

We were greatly pleased at the in
crease in the attendance at the service
on Sunday evening. Let US keep 1t UP.
The habit of regular church going is
the one sole way to keep up individual
interest in the parish. Tie church can
mean but little to your life If you are
seldom within its walls. Church going
should be as much regular part OF life
as meals or school or daily work. 1t
will help your fellowmen if they who
are less strong than you may be look
ing to you to guide them. You can
never calculate what Influence your
church attendance mdy have upon the
people who are not regular atteniants
of the church Of the Living Christ. 1t
will inspire the minister. He needs en-.
enlargement in his work, just as you
do. If you will help him with just your
presence at services, you will give him
an inspiration such rs nothing else
would give. And it will help you dur
ing the week. Out from having at
tended church service in the right
spirit on Sunday, there issues con-
tentment that is yours during al! the
week. That contentment will greatly
assist you in its work and trials.
