The Junior Endeavorers of the church expect to carry on their work all during the summer. The pastor of the church, Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, is now on a trip down the St. Law- rence and through the great lakes to Van- couver, B. C.

At ‘the conclusion of the services the audienees are invited to the church, though before the preaching serv- ice begins a ten-minute song service is held on the church steps. In this way it is thought that at least 500 people hear the Gospel through the medium of these bands of young people every Sunday evening.

Miss Blanche Halley, soprano of the vest- ed choir of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, has resigned that position.

Miss Halley is spend- ing her vacation at Atlantic City and will enter on her duties at Epiphany the 13th of September.
