During the last week new envel-
ops have ben sent out to those who
did not already have them. The
treasurer wishes to be notified if any,
one fails to receive them; and she
will have them delivered immediately.
Let us remember that the idea of
the envelop system is Regular Of
ferlng Each Sunday, and remember
that it is an Offering to God and NOT
a collection. Hence the envelop with
the offering should be placed on the
plate and presented to God and
placed on the altar. The Offering
should be sacrament. We offer
something as an Acknowledgement
that all that we have comes from
and belongs to God.
