Automobiles, will leave the town
church at 1890. to take all those who
otherwise have no way of conveyance.
In all probability morning service
(ohly) will be held in OLD St. Anne's
Church lat eleven o'clock until further
notice, as the contractor who is reno
waiting the town church desires that the
finish on the floor and the pews be al
lowed to harden before being used. No
tice will be given in the papers when
services will be resumed in the town
church.
We wish to thank all those who re.
sponded to the appeal m ade in these
notes last week regarding the pledge
envelopes. The response was hearty,
but there still are number who did
not respond, and lest they have not
seen the notice we wish again to draw
their attention to the same.

Keepers. We all know very well
that we are each our brothers keeper.
We are all agreed that he was poor
specimen of the race who, in the begin
ming, questioned it. We know that we
are, in all kinds of ways, responsible
for one another; 80 that good man, to-
day could not sleep at night if he knew
that some one was in dire distress
whom he could relieve without doing in
jury to him or to others. To the ques-
ton "What best use can l make of my
life ?" the answer must be found by
each one for himself, in the light of all
his circumstances. St. Paul. speaking
after thirty years experience. in which
, he was sure to have met all kinds OF
people, and to have seen all thu
methods tried-St. Paul, who was old
enough to have observed how certain
principles of behavior worked, and how
they bore the test of time-St. Paul
gives it as his mature and considered
opid9Ap that the best and surest maxim
whi11 . good man could take with him
into life Is just this: "As ye have op'
| portunity, do good to all men. especial
" to them who are Of the household Of
faith.'
