The pulpit supply committee was awarded a vote of thanks by the of- ficial board last Thursday evening and asked to cheer up and go* to. it. Every member of that committee has his ear to the ground, but the kind of preacher we want seems to be stepping mighty softly. METHODIST CHURCH ^About fifty of our good women of â- 0 Ladies' Aid society assembled at Hie home of Mrs. W. C. Reinhold, on Ashland avenue, last Wednesday a«- Iernoon to express their appreciation ff the presence and influence of Mrs. tout's J. Pierson, among us for these Irony years. Among the old friends present there were three from out f town: Mesdames Smurr, Patter- son and Sterrett. Mrs. Thomas poulding spoke for the company and, I- an exceedingly fitting address, â- resented the guest of honor with a leather travelling bag and a leather hand bag, neither of which was sommon either in material or design. Mrs. Pierson responded in words thai were no less appropriate. The ifternoon was spent in visiting and enjoying the abundant refreshments and it came time to go home all too %0on.

Do not forget that Dr. Rapp is "on the job" with the Men's Bible class every Sunday morning at 9:45. Every Wednesday night is prayer meeting night at 8 o'clock. The church is warm. The service is short. Dr. Rapp spends a lot of time in preparation. As a Methodist where do you belong Wednesday evening. Dr. Stewart, president of Garrett Biblical Institute, will preach for us next Sunday morning, January 16. He will, no doubt ,have something to say about the operation of a preacher factory and the making of a preacher from the raw material to the finished product.

The club will not "travel" tomorrow, but are asked to meet Mr. Lloyd at the church at 9 o'clock. All members are urged to be present at this meeting. The sermon at the Sunday morning service this week will be on the sub- ject, "Steadfast or Stuckfast." When a man really doesn't want to move forward it is a common thing for him to sit well back in his chair, clasp his hands together, the better to hold on to his resolutions, proclaim that he stands fast on the things that have been tried and . proven and ularly of the child between the ages of nine and twelve. Before the lecture the primary de- gartment will "hold its regular meet- ig of teachers and officers, having supper together, discussing the work of the department for the next few weeks, and finally hearing a discus- sion on Story Telling, by Miss Whee- lock, continuing the. series begun last month. It has been' said that telling a story to a little child is like giving a very beautiful gift to an older person. Miss Wheelock is helping these girls and women to mike their gifts more beautiful and more precious by discussing with them and lecturing to them or. the main points in story telling; .

All Sunday school work- ers, who have championed the cause of religious education, have been "visionary;" all workers of moral re- forms have been "visionary;" Jesus Christ, who would lead men out of darkness into light, was "visionary." But in the light of history is the grumbler really Steadfast or Stuck- fast ? The Neighborhood Circle will hold an all-day meeting at the home of Mrs. Louis K. Gillson, 706 Forest avenue, Tuesday, January 18. Mrs. Steen Billow, Mrs. William E. Suits and Mrs. James Watson will assist.

Tn* various members of the society are on the sales force, and it is expected that a large proportion of the so- ciety's building pledge will be raised in this way. > â€"â€"â€"â- â- â€"â- â- bobbi ST. AUGUSTINE'S PARISH The annual meeting of St. Augus- tine's was held in the parish house on Wednesday night. In past years this has been simply a formal busi- ness meeting of the more interested members of the congregation, at which fairly lengthy reports were read of the work of the various so- cieties and reports given to the par- ishioners attending of the official work of the parish during the year. A change was attempted this year, which proved to be a great success. On Tuesday evening a large dele- gation of the officers and teachers of the church school at St. Augustine's journeyed to the regular meeting of the North Shore Institute of Church Schools at Trinity Cathedral, High- land Park, which was'presided over by our rector. Arrangements were completed whereby training classes for the teachers of the Christian Nur- ture Series will be held on five suc- cessive Tuesday evenings in Lent, when some fifteen paid experts will teach the lessons for the half-year of the Christian Nurture Series used in the majority of Episcopal Sunday schools. The diocesan authorities have granted a generous appropria- tion for this purpose and the Board of Religious Education is determined to do everything possible to secure the greatest possible improvement in the quality of teaching in the church Sunday schools of the diocese.
