Excellent Response
St. Augustine's Raise Nearly £400 To Date An appeal to the St. Augustine's Parish to put its finances m order "three months ago has received an •excellent response. The Vestry
asked for £500 and began by asking everyone, m the parish to pray every day for the effort. A meeting of parishioners at the beginning of the three months made promises of about £100. Since then special issues of the Parish Magazine have been issued stressing the spiritual side of the Church's work. In a fortnight of special effort at the end of the appeal, special services were held and the whole parish was can-
vassed. On the Thank-offering Sunday £191 was offered m Church. The appeal has realised about £400 to date and every effort is being made to increase the regular subscriptions to the Church.
The success of the appeal seems to have come by stressing the spiritual rather than the material, and by the loyal co-operation of many m the parish wjho have worked hard to make the appeal a success.
