The Episcopal services Sunday were fairly well attended and the exercise very interesting. REV. GIBBS delivered a brief and impressive service and REV. HARRIS with his music class of 14 little boys, members of the ST. ANDREW’s MISSION SCHOOL, clad in church vestments, furnished superior music. We are pleased to note this church is growing in a satisfactory manner, with a good prospect ahead of having a house of worship of their own.
They will erect a neat church edifice that will be a credit to Coalgate.
