SATISFACTORY PROGRESS MADE LAST YEAR.

·SECRETARY'S REPORT.

The honorary secretary's report at the annual meeting of St. Peter's Church, held yesterday at Sailor's Home, West Point, revealed a very satisfactory state of affairs. The attendance on Sundays had been excellent, and for the first time since 1918, the Church was able to support & full-time pricat.

The accounts for last year showed a credit balance of $516,07, which has been carried forward to the

Christ's teaching on sex and mar riage is clean, and clear. Father Father Gallagher expresses it well. The Early Church upheld His teach- ing, but in nothing has the Church failed Christ more abysmally than in this matter of marriage. Sup: pose the Church had said:" Our
