Parish Would
Be Independent
Petition From St. Marks to
Be Presented at Next
Diocesan Convention
Has Status of A Mission
Committee to Direct Cam
paign to Raise $4,000 to
Build and Extend-Plans
Outlined.

Rector Daniel G. Mackinnon.
who has been in charge of ST.
Marks Episcopal church for little
more than year, announces that
plans are under way for changing
the church from the status of a
mission to that of an independent
parish, the effect of which will be
to substitute a board of vestrymen
for the administration of its affairs
for cabinet of advisors, with the
rector as presiding executive.
The petition is to be submitted
to the next diocesan convention
and under customary practice will
be referred to a committee for ac-
ton.
A committee was also appointed
to deal with the subject of raising
a fund, approXimating $4,000, to
pay off the debt on the parish
house, pay the remaining two in
stallments upon the newly installed
pipe organ, liquidate the debt CON-
tracted for the new heating plant,
and provide for alterations to the
parish house and church, which
will include new vesting room for
the choir and a sacristy for the
rector.
The committee, which is to direct
the campaign, consists of Robert
H. Robertson, chairman; Bertram
e. Whitman, Joseph healing, Ar
thur H. Stiles and James Kirkpat-
rick, Jr.
One of the methods outlined to
interest members of the congrega-
ton and of the faith, together with
friends of the parish, is to publish
a booklet of the history of ST.
Marks, together with an outline CT
its ambitions and send 1t to them.
Rector MacKfnnon stated from
the scope of territory included in
the parish limits. f-'rra .A3secon to
Somers Point, he was confident
that st. Marks was destined to
have as large if not larger con-
gregation than any church in At
lantic City.
An important announcement was
that the hour of early communion
was advanced from 730 to 8 o.
clock, which would make the SER
vice more convenient for the
church members who relied upon
the trolley cars for transportation.
