PRESENT PURSE
St. Philip's Congregation Remember
Their Priest's Birthday Anni
versary.
Friday, February 28, was the fifty
third birthday anniversary of the Rev.
John Albert Williams, pastor of St.
Philip’s Episcopal church. As Epis
copalians are taught to observe “all
Fridays in the year as days of abstin
ence,” which includes social functions
and festivities, the congregation
planned to celebrate the event on
Thursday night. Despite the fact that
the weather was very cold, a large
number assembled at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Hicks short
ly after 8 o’clock, from which ren
dezvous they descended in a body
on the rectory, taking Father Wil
liams completely by surprise. They
brought with them a large birthday
cake, decorated with the appropriate
number of candles, and other refresh
ments. After a pleasant evening spent
in games and music refreshments
were served and Mrs. James G. Jewell,
president of the Woman’s Auxiliary,
the organization which had planned
the affair, in a neat speech presented
the pastor with a purse of $55 as a
gift from the congregation,*“one dol
lar for each of your fifty-three years
and two to grow on.”
