Forward An ideal for st. Anne's
Parish. A parish of about $50 COM
municants, each making his or her COM
munion regularly at least once month.
A parish, each member worshipplng at
the principal service every Sunday
morning, and visitors besides; and also,
each member more interested in the at
tendance at the evening service. A
parish, each member supporting his
church conscientiously, to the best of
his or her ability. So that the church
support and Missions have no arrears.
A parish whose members are enlisted
in some of the various organizations,
such as the Woman's Auxiliary, the
Parish Guild, the Choir, or the Altar
Guild. A parish whose commune ants,
each in word in earnest, dead in earn
est. And therefore a church striding
forward with power. After all such an
ideal is too high, isn't it? Personally l
don't believe it's too high. But divide
II hy tuo. tako fiftv nor cent of that
ideal. Is that too high -? DO we come
up to that half ideal? No, we do not,
nor anything like it. Let every COM
municant ask himself, or herself, "Am
realizing the ideal or betraying it 2"
A chain is not stronger than its weak
est link. "What kind of church
would St. Anne's be, if every member
were just like me -
Don't forget that the Sunday School
begins its sessions on Sunday, and we
want to see every member present.
The Pledge envelopes for the year
beginning September 4th, have been
distributed. There are a number of
communicates who do not use the en-
velopes. Will not those who do not
make any stipulated offering become
regular contributors There are a
number OF unused sets of the envelopes,
and the treasurer of the Parish, Mr..
Joseph Hanson, or the Rector, will be
glad to enroll your name on the list OF
active contributors.
We would like to have one more
teacher for our Sunday School. Who
will volunteer to assist in this import
