Amen. Commemoration of Benefactors and

Workers in the Diocese who have now' entered . into rest. ; , ■ ; 0 Almighty and eyerliving God,, we. thank Thee for all' Thy servants who, for the extension of Thy Kingdom and the furtherance of Thy work offered of the substance .wherewith Thou hadst prospered them; and we also bless Thy Holy Name for the Bishops, Priests, Deacons and .Lay workers who have departed hence in Thy faith and fear, beseeching Thee to give us grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of Thy heavenly kingdom. Grant this, 0 Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, ,our only Media-. tor and Advocate. . Afeen. v . The priest is. a man," and nothing, should make him shirk • the men. Visiting among women ; and ■ girls is probably much more effectively done by women. And men ' are more important than boys. The L more we get hold of the men the better the boys will stick. It was io bs hoped that the Southampton Congress of . 1925,; which was to follow, this . Convention, ; would be. distinguished by aMetermined effort to reach the men.— Fr.
