There are about thirty active members. At the election of officers Miss Mary Harrison was retained as President, Mrs. Didlake as Vice President, Mrs. Williamson as Secretary, and Miss Johns as Treasurer. Mrs. SafTarans was elected 2d Vice President. The Treasurer reports $843 received during the year and a balance in the treasury after liberal dis bursements. Two of the latest of these were $10 to the Bishop's fund and $10 to the Woman's Auxiliary. The annual mem bership fee of twenty-five cents was collected for the ensuing year. Mrs. Cronley's "quarter" came in the shape of a full-grown five-dollar bill. The KASTKR BOX Which was sealed at the begin ning of Lent as a receptacle for pennies of self-denial from the members as an extra offering to be applied to the purchase of a stone baptismal font for the Church of the Good Shepherd, was opened and the sum of twelve dollars represented the savings. Miss Marv Downinir's Sunday School class added eight dollars, saved in the same way, to the .sum, and thus the Guild has twenty dollars towards the price of the font, which will be twenty-six dollars. This monev dropped into the tcmpory bank at odd times aud never missed, is just so much picked up from an unrealized source. Mrs. Cron ley, with her customary comiiig-to-the-rescue promptitude, will donate the uccessarv lettering on on the font, which will be set in place as soon as finished. TIIK KMPLOYMKXT UUKKAC. Mrs. Ockford,' chairman, re ports 68S garments made during the vcar, thirtv-seven women employed, five hundred garments sold, and one hundred aud fif teen given away. Mrs. Winston, Mrs. McDowell and Mrs. each gave a whole piece of cloth to be made up. The cutting committee consists of two ladies who volunteer each each week, i all taking turns, to spend an hour Thursday morning at this arduous task. The women come in groups and take the work home. Sometimes twentv-five or thirty garments are cut at one sitting. TIIK HOMK ENDOWMENT FUND. Airs. Wm. Warren, chairman, reports $928.96, all given in ten- cent pieces. Let not the Guild, in the larger interests of the In firmary, lose sight of the smaller interests of the Church Home. To raise fifteen hundred dollars from so small a beginning seems at first chimerical, but money planted in good soil will grow. The Home is a noble institution, giving aid to many whom mis fortune has cramped in worldly resources. The advisability of a permanent endowment fund should not be overlooked. Mrs. Wa-ireu has the sum out at in terest in two portions and guards her treasure with commendable aviditv. THE DORCAS BAG. One of the most complete Lenten offerings was the Dorcas Pag, which contans several dozen garments for a new-born babe and its mother, a complete outfit made by the deft fingers of Mrs. SafTarans, Mrs. Harbison, Mrs. Peckley, Mrs. Swift aud Miss Gabie Swift. There are little wrappers, flannels, napkins, nightgowns, (for the mother), pins, strings, powder-bag every thing. And to this charming array of useful and pretty things Mrs. Winston added a hot-water rubber bag. The outfit is to be loaned to the mothers among the poor for six weeks, after which period the articles will be re turned, neatly laundried, to the Dorcas bag for the next applicant. TIIK WOMAN'S FKIKNDI.Y SO CIETY Has made perhaps the best re cord of all tlve various branches of Guild work. There are now enrolled twenty mothers, who as semble every Friday from three to five at the Good Shepherd Mission to learn to sew aud to provide themselves with needful clothing. Part of the time is taken up in singing gospel sons. The women are regularlv organized. They have been thus associated about two months aud have paid in S10 for garments. Their savings bank, to feed which seems the most delightful thing that they do, shows five dollars hoarded by extra exer tion, or some special act of self denial. Cast-off clothing is made over by their faithful fingers into habitable articles. Mrs. (iood loe, Mrs. Wm. Prucc, Mrs. Ock ford, Mrs. Peckley, Mrs. SafTa rans and Miss Harrison have been in attendance at the meet ings. Another sympathizer in the good work has played the organ and sung songs with them. The Rev. George W. Duulap made a brief but timely address to them one day, full of encour agement and feeling. The do nations to this society have thus far been $5 from Mrs. Woodward, 5 1 from Mrs. Cronley to buy soap, 25 cents from Mr. Duulap to the little savings bank, piece of cotton from Airs. France, piece of calico from Airs. Wm. Prtice, garden seeds from Mrs. A. H. Lyne, seed from Mrs. Muir, large box of clothing from Mrs. Ward, basket of clothing and bundle of papers from Mrs. Potts, and a bundle of papers containing cuts of famous horses, from Airs. Lewis Cook. The papers were were given to put on the walls of the dwellings. Auv kind of cast-off clothing is acceptable. Stockings that are worn may be shaped anew and made over. Donations will be received at the Mission on Fri day afternoon of each week. This charity bears more prolific promise of outgrowth than any previous attempt in the direction of helping the the poor. A friend took some literary papers last week and they were seized with as much eagerness as though the society had been a literary as sembly. TIIK COAL Supply has given out and no more will be bought till next season. Miss Pean, chairman, reports one thousand bushels ap plied during the six months just past. One hundred and twenty one families were made com fortable, some of them more than once. No other church so ciety has such a record. Py conferring with committees from other churches it has been learned that their plans and modes of operating in the lines of charity are altogether different. The ISrokoii Moif E. I). P. "Oil, pupa !" cried Douglas, run ning into his father's study; "Al bert lias taken all my monev ! He says it is his!'' and the little fellow fobbed aloud in his grief. 'What 13 It V" Tool your monev ! What did he do that for?" and the father turned quickly from his desk. "Come, come,my boy, don't cry. Tell me about it." The kind arm was around him aud the boy eobbed out his tale of woe. "Why, I took Albert's sled out coasting and I broke it and he he says I mmt pay for it and betook my pretty new silver quarter out of my savings-bank. " Then Douglas broke out afresh, rubbing his big black eyes with his soiled fist till his fiu-e was smeared with tears and dirt. 'Hush ?h,inyboy. Pe quiet and talk so that I can ;et at what you mean' said his father, taking him on his knee. "That's all papa. I broke his sled on the hill out there. The other sleds ran against me, and now Albert is so angry, that he sa s I must pay for it but, oh, papa, I didn't want him to have my new quarter !" "And so he shall pay for it, papa !" shouted Albert, bursting in with cheeks all rosy f rom the cold and fiom anger. He bad caught the last words as lie slam med the door. "Tin t's no wuv to treat anybody. I wouldn't be so mean !" and the boy flung his cap on a chair and stood up to the lire. "Take care, Albert," said his father gravely, "reniembt r where you are. Go hang you cap in the proper place; then come back and I will hear your story." Albert obeyed, but was so ex cited that he began his speech almost before he got back. "Stop, stop," said his father; "not so fast. Pegin again and talk quietly." "Papa, it was my new sled," the boy burst out again; he didn't ask me to lend it to him. He took it while I was at school, and now one of the runners is all broken. And I was going to have such a good time with the boys ! I'm going to take it to the shop and he shall pay to have it mended." "Well, did you ask him to pay for it?"" No, papa, he didn't," put iu Douglas, who felt that he had a friend, "Hush one at a time," said his father. "Mouse asking him: I knew he wouldn't doit," said Albert, iu in sullen tones, and looking down. "Do you thiuk it fair to take his money out of his box? AVould I go to a gentleman's safe and take money that he owed me? I grant that Douglas did not treat you well. Put think about it and see if you have behaved houor ably. You have broken out iuto a passion, aud worse than all, you
