On the past two Sundays,
ruary 23 and March 1, two
interesting fireside meetings
held in the Anglican Parish Hall
aftei’ the evening service. At the
first meeting, "Reading the Bi
ble” was the topic and this Sun
day it was "Signs and Symbols
Used in Our Church”. There was
a splendid attendance at both
meetings. At 10 p.m. last Sunday
one person remarked “I’d like to
go home but I don’t want to miss
anything." The remarks indicates
the enjpyment felt by all present
and should whet the curiosity of
other church members to attend
the fireside next Sunday evening.
