ALBION ST. MATTHIAS'S-REV. H. E. JEPHSON. The Ladies' Guild has raised $50 towards payment of lot for church. We have raised all the amount, except $25, required to build our church, which will be commenced (D. V.) in June. ANDERSON-MISSION-REV. WILLIS D. ENGLE. Semi-monthly, week day services commenced January 27 last, and are held in the basement of the Presbyterian church, kindly tendered for the purpose. A Woman's Guild has been organized. ATTICA-GRACE CHURCH-REV. W. S. HAYWARD. Services were begun in October, 1887, on week days, once a month, until the first of February. A Ladies' Guild was organized in the winter, and a portion of the expenses of service which they met is not reckoned above, as I have no account of it. BRIGHTWOOD-ALL SAINTS-REV. WILLIS D. ENGLE. Services commenced in August last. The Union Chapel" was bought last fall. Some necessary alterations have been made so that the services can be more properly rendered. BRISTOL ST. JOHN'S-REV. J. GORTON MILLER. This parish has entered fully upon the work of paying its quota of the Episcopal Endowment Fund. The offerings, although small, or lacking entirely in some directions, are quite full for some of the interests requiring gifts. The aggregate of $320 raised by this parish for all purposes during the present year is a wonderfully good showing, all things considered. COLUMBUS-ST. PAUL'S-REV. BELNO A. BROWN, M. D. This report covers only a part of the convention year, from December 15, 1887, to June 1, 1888. CRAWFORDSVILLE-ST. JOHN'S-REV, A. GEO. E. JENNER. The Rector records with deepest gratitude the hearty co-operation which he is receiving from the whole parish at this time. At no period of his rectorship has he had more reason to be thankful than at the present. The people appear willing to extend to him their fullest confidence. Old parishioners long alienated are returning to their allegiance. The people of the city outside of the Church are aiding us with their sympathy. Old prejudices are disappearing, and accumulated obstacles being rapidly removed, how what the work must be for some years, but under God it can and must be very sure and very good. Comparison with previous reports will show that the financial results of the parish exceed largely in amount those of former years, for a long time past. DELPHI ST. MARY'S-REV. W. J. HAYWARD. The communicants reported last year (41) were nominal. The number above, those who have actually communed. During a portion of the year a Sunday-school was kept at Pittsburgh, and services held once or twice a month, and those, as well as the services in Delphi and the poor house and jail throughout the vicinity of Delphi, are above enumerated. Up to February 1st, services were held on alternate Sundays, at Frankfort, since then at Attica, Monticello and Sleeth instead. Williamsport, West Lebanon, Monon, Springboro and Jefferson have also been visited. The old debts last year were nearer $150 than $97.08, as named in last year's report. A great improvement has been made, costing over $40, and the most of that, as well as a portion of the old debts, has been met by the Rector's friends abroad. About one-sixth of the offerings reported were from the Rector's family; $165 is considered a more exact worth of church property than the report above, although the property has improved during the year. The ladies helped to give a deaf and dumb child an outfit, and the Little Gleaners a pack to the hospital. Packs have also been sent for the A., T. & S. F. R. R. Reading Room, and also a pack for a reading room in one of our Indian missions. Over $50 improvements have been made on the church property the past year, which has been met by the Rector and friends from abroad. ELKHART ST. JOHN'S-REV. FRANKLIN W. ADAMS. The year past has been the most prosperous in the history of St. John's Parish, spiritually and financially. The congregations in the church have been large and a Churchly spirit manifested. A beautiful Rectory has been completed, the Sunday school is steadily increasing in number of scholars and interest. The parish has be come a felt power in the community, and the future outlook is most hopeful. A fund for the erection of a new church to take the place of the present inadequate building, is begun with encouraging indications. EVANSVILLE-ST. PAUL'S—REV. CHARLES MORRIS, It will be noticed that the number of communicants is smaller than last year, although the confirmations are larger. The parish has suffered very greatly by deaths and removals from parish, thirty communicants removing. FRANKFORT-ST. LUKE'S-REV. W. S. HAYWARD. The above takes in services rendered in Washington township, Kilmore, ete. Services were held in Frankfort every alternate Sunday until February 1st, in connection with Delphi. A discrepancy of sixty cents additional for Diocesan Missions (not found in my summary in the Parish Register), arises from having no receipt of same at the time of making up that summary. The whole amount paid on church debt during the above period, was $100.00, of which I received from friends abroad, $51.00, leaving $319.00 raised here, of which there was reported last June $123.23 as then on hand. One hundred dollars more is pledged as above, making the whole amount $500. GARRETT-EMMANUEL-REV. H. E. JEPHSON. These returns are near as I can make them. Do you mean by "individuals in parish" the full number of persons in the town or those connected with the church? I have taken the latter meaning. GREENCASTLE-ST. JOHN'S CHURCH—R. T. JONES, CLERK. Owing to the very crude manner in which the parish record has been kept there is no certain data from which a correct report can be made. HUNTINGTON-CHRIST CHURCH-REV. GEO. DAVID ADAMS. I hold week day services in this parish twice each week. We hope to buy a church lot next year, for which we are now negotiating, and we are talking of securing the old Methodist church, which is for sale, and moving it to the above-mentioned lot. INDIANAPOLIS-CHRIST CHURCH-R. L. TALBOT, ISAAC H. KIERSTED, Wardens. Rectorship vacant from February 1 to June 3, 1888. June 3, Rev. J. H. Ranger was instituted into the rectorship. |
