This is not the closing of the Clnb House, as it will remain open for several weeks yet, but was the final scheduled dance, and the following night the final serving of coffee and cake closed the active work at the Club.

not seeii their records, excepting in the case of Gus, John and Edward be¬ ing still in Service. Gus was in the Medical Corps, attached to the 42nd Division. The three Montross boys, 38a Squth Grove Street, are all out of Servic^now. Jerome was a chief boatswain, Fred was a seaman (marksman) in the Navy, and Austin waa a corporal (chauffeur) in the 63lBt Aero Squadron. The three sons of Mrs. Philetus A. Williams, namely Charles. Philetus A. and William R., were all sons of a veteran of the Civ¬ il War. Philetus was in the 108th In fantry, sergeant; William was a priv ate in the Medical Corps, 4th Divis^ ion, both of them seeing active service abroad. Then last but not least, is the Johnaon trio, Miss Eleanor L. in the Nurees Corps, her brother, Herman P., lieutenant iA the 403rd Telegraph Battalion, and Captain Clement B., atill in Service abroad.

In addition to the "trios" tkere were three Malone "boys" and thfee Lynch's whom we have on our Roll of ^onor, brothers in each 'case, but their records not being at hand, no particu¬ lar mention can be made of them. Franklin Malone was in the Navy avi¬ ation as a cadet at the Bay Shore sta¬ tion; George A.

Canon Schultz remained, aa Priest-in Charge, being assisted by Mr. Hue- son, a lay-reader. The church was well built upon a great foundation and having maple wood floors. The walli^ were made of a rough whitcl sand and mortar. A terge Thatcher furnace was placed in the cellar, with one very large heating pipe, coming up to the centre aisle of the church, and kept the church warm ip the cold winter. Four large oil lamps lighted the church. Eighteen long, yellow benches supplied,, the seating capa¬ city. A small wooden altar was placed at the chancel end of the church. Above the altar hung a painting called "The Ascension of Our Lord." This was painted on canvas by Mrs. Em- ack, one of the parishioners, in Aug¬ ust, 1896.
The same year. Canon Henry B. Bryan was placed over the mission. Also in this year, the Bishop appoint¬ ed the first committee of the church —namely: S. Gildersleeve, president; C. W. Oley, secretary, and R. H. May- land, treasurer. On the following January, 1896, two more committee¬ men were appointed—William H. Cut¬ ter and Wilbur F. Tredwell.
In January, 1896, the horse shed was built at a coat ef $100. It will not be amiss to give you the Treasurer's re¬ port for the year 1895—Dated Janu¬ ary 1, 1896—"All bills paid; no funds on hand."
The following Easter offering was $71.52, and a donation from the com¬ mittee of $5 towards the Bishop's sal¬ ary.
On June 12, 1896, the Bishop ap¬ proved of having a resident clergy¬ man, provided we pay him $600 per year and reduce the church debt $200 per year. No clergyman seemed available.
November 1, 1896. Rev. Jamea R. Smith was the first minister to re¬ ceive the appointment as resident clergy at $60 per month. The parish¬ ioners gave Rev. Mr- Smith a recep¬ tion at the residence of Mr. Tredwell on December 23, 1896.
On January 1. 1897. the following committee was appointed by the Bish¬ op for one year: C. W. Oley, Rowland H. Mayland, Wilbur F. Tredwell, Charles F. Allee and C. B. Finch. Mr. Finch, Secretary; Mr. Mayland, Treas¬ urer.
Th<! officers of the flrat Guild were: President, Mrs. Andrew J. MacLean; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. C. W. Oley. Everything that the Guild un-l dertook was always successful. Thci Guild purchased a Mason & Hamlin organ at a cost of $500. Through so- jcial entertainments, cake sales, fairs, etc.. working day and night in the in-1 terest of the church, in securing mon-1 ey for its support, the Guild saw the church safely through the stormy days of ita flrst launchmg and it can be safely said that had it wot been for the support and courage, and inspira¬ tion of this cho8(»n band, the church would never have made port in any¬ thing like a healthy condition. Spe¬ cial mention is due to Mrs. R. H. and Miaa Besaie Mayland for their beau¬ tiful work in puking hanginga, of rare design and texture, for the altar.
On January 10. 1897, Wilbur F. Tradwall prM«it«d ths ehurch with

On February i23,1902, the follov»iing committee was appointed for one year: Thomas Burleigh. Treasurer; Edward Llttte. Secretary; William Bryant. Af appeal was mtfe to members of the mission for funds to pay off the land debt, with the result that $381.50 was added to the fund.
In November, Rev. Pelham St. (jeorge Bissell was appointed as Priest-in-Charge of mission at $60 per month.
In January, 1903, the following com¬ mittee was elected: Thomas Bur¬ leigh, Treasurer; Edward H. Little, Secretary; William H. Bryant, John Drake Gunning.
