and the latter read part of the
evening prayers.
The occasion was special SER

Interested crowded pews. 1t was
an innovation, both in having the
pupils participate in the prescrib-
ed ritual and bringing the school
before the congregation in place
of the congregation attending the
school exercises in the parish
house.
Another change was that Lay
Reader Bertram E. Whitman, who
has always been exceptionally &C
tive in building membership and
interest, talked about Sunday
school work and ambitions in
place of the sermon. 1t was an
obligation, he said, that parents
owed their church and themselves
to see that their boys and girls
were properly trained in the faith
and that the Sunday school class
es provided the means for that
spiritual education.
He emphasized the fact the
boys and girls constituting the
Sunday school now would in a
short time assume the work which
the congregation of to-day is do
ing for their church and faith.
Rector Daniel G. MacKinnon
called upon several of the Sunday
school classes to answer questions
and as they did so he explained
their spiritual significance. Re
spending were the pupils of Mrs
Charles Johnson, Mrs. Daniel G
MacKinnon, Mrs. Joseph Nealint
