The matter was keenly taken up by the parishioners, and the Vicar had the pleasant duty of announcing that the offerings m cash a'hd promises had totalled over £600. It is intended to begin the first part of a new church at once, and plans are being prepared. Our parish intends raising a sum to be given to "Women's work m the mission field" later on m the year. Annual. Meeting— -We hope to hold this meeting about the middle- of this month. The vestry anticipate a most favorable reception of their report and financial statement. Sunday School— This has grown so remarkably of late that the building is now too small, and four large classes have to be taken into the church. The teachers are working for an entertainment to raise funds for furniture, and ornaments for the church. ■ »' '
