ST. THOMAS CHURCH SERVICES. — The
Easter services in St. Thomas' church were
well attended, nd the Rector did not spare
himself, services being held at o'clock, 11,
2:30 and 7 p. . One hundred and fifteen
partook of the acrament of the Lord's Sup-
per, which is always an important feature of
Easter -day in t e church of England. Mr.
Ted Peters has ad charge of the choir for
the past few m nthe, and he proved himself
a choir master •f no mean ability, as the
musical part of the service was exceptionally
good. The ch.rat service in the evening
was listened to by a large congregation, and
all Were deligh ed with the manner in which
the their acqui ted themselves, it being the
first time many of them had ever taken part
in Filch service. The Rector preached two
.excellent sermo s on the " Resurrection,"
that in the vening on "Our Life in
Heaven," bein especially commented on.
The church was beautifully decorated with
flowers and white frontals, the font contain-
ing a magnifici nt bouquet of June roses,
the gift of Mis Simpson, of Brantford, in
memory of her late brother.—At the an-
nual vestry me ting, on Monday night, the
fivancial report showed the • amount of re-
ceipts for the year to be $1,529.30, with
expenditures o about $100 more. The
church and rec ory were repainted during
the summer, an a memorial window placed
in memory of 1 E. St. Clair Simpson. All
the old officer were re-elected, and the
meeting adjour ed for two weeks to receive
the report of t e auditors and to. devise
means for a bet er method of adding to the
revenue of the hurch.
