They have sold so many of these pansy plants they are now known locally as “Episcopal pansies”

The Woman’s Auxiliary of Calvary, Wadesboro, have found one source of income they are willing to share with others. They have sold so many of these pansy plants they are now known locally as “Episcopal pansies.” Each year they buy the plants from Felton’s Pansy Farm, Merchantville, N. J., for thirty-five cents per hundred, and express charges, and sell them for $1.00 per hundred. Possibly your organization would like to try it.

St. Agnes’ Hospital received a gift of $500 from her estate

By the terms of the will of the late Miss Eliza A. Pool, St. Agnes’ Hospital received a gift of $500 from her estate. Miss Pool, who was active in the educational and civic life of Raleigh for 45 years, was a great friend of St. Agnes’ Hospital, and of Mrs. A. B. Hunter, one of the founders of the institution, which is located on the campus of St. Augustine’s College.

All of the members are good North Carolinians by adoption, but to call the parish roll sounds like a parade of states

Thirty-eight states and four foreign countries are represented in the present membership of St. Mary’s Church, High Point, where the Rev. Howard S. Hartsell is rector. All of the members are good North Carolinians by adoption, but to call the parish roll sounds like a parade of states. The President of the Auxiliary is from Boston, the President of the Guild hails originally from Kenosha, Wisconsin, the President of the Altar Guild is from Brooklyn, the Senior warden is a native of England, the President of Y. P. S. L. calls South Carolina home, and the President of the Laymen’s League is from Virginia. Only seven women of the parish are native North Carolinians. Apparently these people recognized a good state when they saw one.

The young ladies carry their Red Cross knitting and also work on surgical dressings and other hospital supplies

At the last regular meeting of St. Katharine’s branch of the Auxiliary, in Tarborough, it was suggested that some special patriotic work should be undertaken, and so every Monday evening is devoted to that purpose. The young ladies carry their Red Cross knitting and also work on surgical dressings and other hospital supplies. And because we have such faith in the efficacy of prayer, at each meeting prayers are offered for our country and all those who serve. We print the prayer which is used, thinking other branches may be doing the same work and making intercession:

“O Lord, God of Host, stretch forth, we pray Thee, Thine almighty arm and save our country in this, our time of need. Bless the efforts of all who serve, at home or abroad, in hospital or training camp. Strengthen and protect those who are fighting our battles on land and sea and in the air. Help the prisoners and the wounded and the dying, both of our brethren and our enemies. Show us our part in the redemption of the world from cruelty and hate and make us faithful and courageous. In the name of Him whose Kingdom is our hearts’ desire and whose will for men is love, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.”
