EPISCOPALIANS HAVE
AVERY ACTIVE week
Not Only The Financial, But All
Other Phases OF Church Work
Is Given Consideration

The week of November 29th to
December 7th, inclusive, has been an
epoch-making period in the annals of
the Episcopal Church. of America
since it has marked the close of the
great Nation Wide Campaign.
This campaign has been the great
est piece of constructive work ever
undertaken by the church as whole.
NO phase of church activity has been
overlooked and it has been a season
OF introspection and Recommendation
for all churchmen.
Sunday, November goth marked
the close of the Church School Cam
paign and was fittingly observed in
st. James Parish.
The canvass. for new members bore
fruit at the regular Sunday school
hour. In the afternoon the various
captains working under the general,
Mrs. R e. Lawhon, went out and
escorted the new members to the
Chapel where a line of march was
formed by all the children--both old
and new pupils-and the procession
illed into the church where a beauti-
ful responsive service was read and
formal welcome given to the new
members. Immediately following
this service a reception was held in
the Chapel, where Mrs. J. W. Stokes,
chairman of the reception committee,
assisted by number of church-wo-
men, served hot chocolate and sand
wiches. An interesting and instruc-
tive talk to the children was made
by the Rector, after which all those
present were charmed by a group of
songs rendered by Miss Virginia Cros-
by, accompanied by Miss Elizabeth
Hague.
A brief prayer service for the sue
cess of the Nationwide campaign
has been held in the church every af-
ternoon at five o'clock.
On Monday afternoon the regular
monthly meeting of the Woman's
Auxiliary was held at the home of
Mrs. F. H. Trezevant, preceded by a
beautiful luncheon at which Mrs.
J. w. Stokes and Mrs. Herbert E.
Hague were hostesses, in compliment
to Mrs. c. L. Pettigrew, of Atlanta,
Diocesan Auxiliary Presiden and
Mrs. Charles Pitner, of Rome, Dioces-
an Educational Secretary.
Quite a number of the members
were present at the luncheon, others
who were detailed by reason of bust
ness, coming in for the meeting.
Beyond the election of officers for
the ensuing year no other business
was taken up in order that as much
time as possible be given to the ad-
dresses made by the guests of the
day.
Mrs. Herbert Hague, chairman of
the nominating committee, presented
their report, which was accepted and
passed upon favorably without any
nominations from the floor. The fol-
lowing weer elected president, Mrs.
j. w. Lewis, ST.; vice-president, Mrs.
Warren Stokes; recording secretary,
Mrs.. Margaret McWhorter; treasurer,
Mrs. S. S. Maddox; educational secre-
tary, Miss Louise Schilling.
Mrs. Pettigrew was then presented
by the president, Mrs. Trezevant, and
made a most wonderful address, COW
ering the campaign in its entirety.
She spoke of woman's work in the
past, how she has been the strong bull
wark of the church, but showed by
authentic statistics wherein the
church has largely failed in it's mis-
sion.
She is logical and convincing, a
forceful speaker and from start to
finish her entire talk was a clarion
call to the womanhood of the church
and one that will bring sure and GER
tain responses.
Mrs. Pitner gave most illuminat-
ing explanation of the scope of the
Nationwide campaign and by a Sc
ries of cleverly designed charts dem
onstrated the wide purpose and the
high ideals of the movement. Mrs.
Pitner is both clever and attractive,
deep thinker who has the happy
faculty of 'imparting her thoughts
| clearly to others. These two adj
dresses fired all who listened with
, renewed determination TO stand firm
ly by their convictions and church
trusts and made the December meet
ing of the Auxiliary one of the most
mem orable in the history of the or
ganization.
A meeting of the Chancel Chap
ter was held Friday afternoon at
the close of the regular prayer SER
vice, Miss Laurie Ford presiding.
! Mrs. McWhorter, treasurer, reported
two very satisfactory additions to the
funds of the Chapter, both in the
checking account and in the savings
deposit
Plans were made for decorating
the church for the Christmas-tide and
a decorating committee, Of which
Mrs. c. M. Crosby is chairman, was
appointed.
