Each week there will be a service from 5:15 to 6.00 p. ni. The Rev. Ray Holder, Rector of Christ Church, Raleigh, opened the series of talks February 11, Ash Wednesday. Other preachers to be present during Lent and the respective time for their services are the Rev. Thomas C. Darst, D.D., Re tired Bishop of Bast Carolina, from Wilmington, Feb. 18; the Rt. Rev. Noble Cilley Powell, D.D., Bishop of Maryland, from Baltimore, Feb. 25; the Rt. Rev. Charles Avery Mason, D.D., Bish op of Dallas, from Dallas, Texas, March 3; the Rev. Julien Gunn, Jr., Order of the Holy Cross, from West Park, N. Y., March 10; and the Rev. John C. Drake, Jr., Rec tor of Trinity Church, Scotland Neck, March 24. As usual, this year Lenten self- denial boxes will be distributed. Self-denial savings placed in these boxes go for the work of the Rev. William J. Gordon, newly-elected Bishop of Alaska. In the past Mr. Gordon spent the money among his own missions around Point Hope, Alaska, but this year he will place the money where he feels it will be most needed. Ill times past he has written to Saint Mary’s of the great value that this offering has been in the construction and furnishing of different mission stations. Last year Saint Mary’s students con tributed more than $263. The Rev. Mr. Hughes, Saint Mary’s chaplain, hopes that this figure will be greatly exceeded this year.
