A WORD CONCERNING THE FINANCES
OF THE PARISH
The Treasurer of the Parish is de-
pendent upon the weekly receipts to en-
able him to meet the regular expenses
of the parish. AS the attendance at
church services during the summer
months is very much reduced, the offer
lngs are likewise small. In or1er to
avoid the necessity of incurring any in
debtedness. we ask all members who
expect to be away for any length of
time to prepay their weekly offerings
tor the time they expect to be absent,
(and also pay up all they are in arrears)
and thus aid in providing the Treasurer
with the needed funds to meet the ex-
penses of the church, and until the fall
season arrives when the attendance ut
church services is expected to be nor
NAL, and the weekly receipts to be like
wise Please give this your attention.
Shakespeare wrote:
II teei within me
A peace above all earthl.. dignities,
A still and quiet conscience"
We have the privilege OF being al
ways in hot water If we like. The
apostles Peter and John were great,
Grave, able men, not in their own
strength, but in the spirit of Christ,
their Lord, their Master and their God.
Without Him they would have remain
ed obscure, unknown, unimpOrtant.
Forgotten with the needless muititudes
of their generation their names would
have passed into eternal oblivion.
United with Him, their every word and
deed is cherished; their influence for
good expands as the race develops, and
islands, river, cities and the souls OF
men are proud to bear their names.
There are victories gained every day
in struggling hearts to which fields Ut
battle are as nothing. There is but
one way to be truly great. Only by
help divine can any man live life
worth while, a life that counts and lasts.
That help is found through Jesus Christ
who is the way 10 god, the truth of God
and the life of God united with the life
of man. He is the channel of divine
grace and strength. P. L. D.
In order that as many as possible may
be able to attend the morning service
at old St. Anne's Church on the first
two Sundays in August During the en-
forced closing of St. Anne's Town
church, automobiles will leave the
town Church at ten thirty, and will con-
vey members to the Old Church. Let
every member try and make a special
effort to attend these services. Every
communicate should try to be present
at he Communion service next Sunday
in the Old Church. The Lords Supper
has not been administered in the old
Church for many years, and it ought to
be a great privilege for all to be able to
communicate there.
ST. MARY's CHAPEL, TOWNSEND, DEL.
Evening Prayer will be said in st.
Mary's Chapel, Townsend. on Sunday
evening, at half past seven. Let every
one be present.
