When the Guild was first organized it only had a membership of forty-five, but at the close of the year it numbered one hundred and thirty-five associates, a larger number than that of all the churchmen in the city when our parish - St. Paul's - was organized. Early in 1874 the Ladies' Aid and Relief Society began work under the auspices of the Guild. An industrial school was established, and later on every depart- ment of church work was thoroughly organized and carried on successfully, to wit : the parish Sunday School, the Missionary Society, the floral decoration of the altar and chancel on Sundays and festival days, ushering and order, the Maternity Society, ecclesiastical work, etc.
The Guild did an efficient and noble work up to May, 1888, when our church was partially destroyed by fire, just previous to which our rector, Rev. John W. Brown, D. D., had resigned the rectorship to assume a larger responsibility at St. Thomas's Church, New York, to which he had been called; since which period the Guild, as an organization, practically ceased to exist.
The record of the Guild of St. Paul's Church for fourteen consecutive years was one of which all its members had reason to be justly proud, and to which this brief sketch cannot do full justice. Much laborious work was done, old-time ease given up, and burdens shouldered ; this not by men and women of leisure, but those who had their every-day tasks and every-day duties to perform.
One of the most self-denying of these, and one who died with his harness on, was our colaborer, the late Augustus Reginald Davidson, M. D. "Faithful unto death."
As St. Paul's is the mother of the Episcopal churches in this city, so in a certain sense is the Guild the mother of a larger and more vigorous missionary spirit. The Lay- men's Missionary League, formed by members of the several city parishes in the fall

of 1891, is already a great power for good with every prospect before it of a long, useful and prosperous career. Its president, superintendent and treasurer are all former Guild members, as well as many of its present lay readers. "What wilt thou have me to do," is the Pauline cry constantly evoked from each member as the sense of Christ is realized, and the demands of Christ-work made known - and consecrated to this we shall find each year a glorious harvest of results to the glory of God and the good of the Catholic Church.
