The new Church Building Fund is still growing, and will grow much faster when more people are praying; for a blessing on this effort for God's honour and glory. The amount m sight now is £1845, and there are still very many parishioners who have not yet responded.
The Spring Flower Show and Sale of Work was held m the large theatre last month and was a great success. There were absolutely no raffles or guessing 1 competitions, but £135 was cleared to help to pay off two Diocesan loans of £170, the last debt on the parish and a legacy of some years ago. There was a great band of workers, and parishioners were splendid m the way they sent m gifts. There was a good show of flowers, decorative work, and cookery, and it gave great pleasure to many. The Sunday School was entertained to tea and games on September 4th, and there were over 100 to feed and entertain. The scholars each brought a small gift for the bran tub and fishing well at the sale, and they all had a very happy time. . . Canon Butterfield kindly came and addressed the Mothers' Union last month on "Children's Prayers." It Avas very helpf ul.
