SECRETARY'S REPORT.
During the year of 1896-97, St. Agnes' Guild for younger girls, met on Monday afternoons from October to June. The first part of the year was devoted to filling a Christmas box for the Episcopal City Mission, which, with the aid of generous contributions from the people of the Church, was sent to Mr. Allen on December 22. The rest of the time, from Christmas to June, was spent in making mufflers, bunk-curtains, "comfort bags," wristers, etc., for the sailors.
Out of the forty-five girls comprising the Guild, there was an average attendance of about twenty-eight.
At five meetings no sewing was done. These were given up to games and general good times, and at two, short addresses were ? given, one by Mr. Smith, the Rector, and one by Mr. John Allan of the Sailors' Mission.
The first meeting of this year will be held on Monday, Noven- ber 1, and it is hoped that during this winter, the membership will be increased and even more work accomplished than was done last year.

During the year passed, St. Mary's Club has made a gain in membership, so that now it has about thirty active and ten honor- ary members.
During the season the entertainments have been much varied. Debates have been tried and papers on topics of the day have been read. The meetings of the Club generally consist of an in- formal business meeting and an hour's social intercourse.
The Club holds meetings regularly. on the second Wednesday of every month (except three summer months) in the Parish Rooms.
The object of the Club is to get young men into it, hoping there- by to create an interest in it and the Church, and so lead them to a higher sense of Church work and duty. Having the members of St. Andrew's Brotherhood in the Club greatly assists in this move- ment. All young men of the Parish who feel interested in the Church and Club, would confer a favor by mentioning the fact to one of the members, who can be found at the rear of the church at each Service.

Dearly Report of St. Mary's Build. FOR 1896-97.
President Miss CAROLINE S. BARRY.
Vice=President Miss ISABELLE MACARTHY.
Secretary and Treasurer Miss LUCY H. PARSONS.
SECRETARY'S REPORT.
St. Mary's Guild meets "every Thursday evening, at 7.30, in the Parish Rooms of St. Mary's Church. There are sixty members, with an average attendance of thirty-five. Last fall in order to raise money for the winter work, the Guild held a Candy Sale which brought in $47.95. During the winter the girls made sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc., which were sent to St. Mary's School at the Rosebud Agency in South Dakota.
About once a month through the winter we had social evenings with some sort of an entertainment. The girls invited their friends and they all passed many pleasant evenings. At Christmas the Guild presented Mr. Smith with a white stole. This year the Guild will be even more interesting than last year. Programmes have been printed so that each member will know what is to be done every Thursday evening. On the programmes are literary and musical evenings, and evenings with different artists.
Our regular Missionary work will be done the same as usual. A very good outlook is promised for the Guild this winter, as at each meeting this year, so far, there have been new members. All young women attending St. Mary's Church are cordially invited to become members of the Guild.
LUCY H. PARSONS, Secretary.

Phillips Brooks Club.
President The Rev. W. E. C. SMITH.
Secretary C. A. RUGGLES.
On December 14th, 1893, by invitation of the Rector, the gen- tlemen of St. Mary's Church met and organized the Phillips Brooks Club, having for its objects the promotion of acquaintanceship and general advancement of the work required in the Parish. This meeting was informal in its character, as are all the gatherings of the Club. By-laws and rules for the government of the members being considered unnecessary, no fixed dates were made for the meetings, that matter being left to the discretion of the President. Between October and April in each year three or four meetings are held ; at these gatherings, each of which is preceded by a dinner, the Club has entertained as its guests many men prominent in the Church and State, who have presented subjects of interest to those engaged in Church work. All gentlemen interested in the Church are included in the membership of the Club, which now numbers eighty-five. The average attendance has been forty, and from the first, these meetings have been a source of profit and enjoyment to those who have participated.

the Rule of Service, while some work in the Sunday School and some serve as ushers in the Church. During the past summer members have had charge of the Bureau of Church Information at the Thorndike, but the work was given up at the end of the season.

During the past year the Chapter has increased in efficiency as well as in numbers, The members answer readily to all requests made to call on young men who have lately moved into the Parish- and notice of any such cases will be gladly received.
The Chapter meetings are held at 8 P. M., in the Guild Room, on the first and third Tuesdays of each month.
