ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD 3 RECORD NOTES Rev. J. E. Culmer, rector of St. Agnes’ Churcli, Miami, Fla., was guest preacher at the chapel services Sunday, October 14. A most moving part of his address was a vivid description of the great opening service of the General Convention which he had attended a few days before. St. Agnes’ Church not only holds the unique position of being the largest parish in the Diocese of Southern Florida, but is also the largest ISTegro congregation in the city of Miami. The latter is considered by Rev. Mr. Culmer to be the more remarkable claim. With a modest but gripping story of overcom ing barriers of distance and rigorous weather, Rt. Rev. W. Blair Roberts, Missionary Bishop of South Dakota, enlisted the interest of St. Angus tine’s iu his work among the Indians of his diocese. It was evident that Bishop Roberts had a great affection for his people, and his anecdotes about them were such as to inspire respect for them. Bishop Roberts was accompanied by I^ishop Penick, who introduced him to the morn ing chapel congregation.

Armistice Day was observed with services in the Chapel, at which Prof. J. D. Clark, Professor of English at North Carolina State College, was the speaker. “If the way of Christ and the de mands of social and economic justice are to pre vail, nations must prepare for peace by other lines of defense than those bloody lines of the past. The energy of man in profitless war must give way to the virility of constructive and creative co-operation,” said Prof. Clark. A veteran of the World War, he said that war must give place to co-operation and the will to peace. On Monday, a playlet entitled, “After Supper,” was presented by Mrs. Julia Delany and the Dramatic Club, to illustrate the true spirit of Armistice Day. All Saints’ Day was fittingly observed with an early Communion Service, and the following Sun day being within the octave. Choral Communion and a sermon by the President re-emphasized the significance of the season. Some 35 of our students are receiving the Stu dent FERA relief. They have jobs on the cam pus and in the community, such as library assist ant, playground director, group leader in a com munity house, campus and dairy inspector, church social worker. To receive this Federal aid the student must be well qualified as to character and ability, but unable to continue in college because of financial stress. A supervisor of the young men reports: “These young men show a great deal of interest in their work, and are eager and will ing to co-operate. . . .” The Dean of Women says of the girls: “I feel that the service these young women render to the youth of the com munity is compensated not only by the financial aid they receive from the Government, but also by the enrichment of experience that such contacts render to these young women. . .
