CHURCH OF ST PHILIP THE DEACON Sunday, September 4th, Ethel Mar garet Dorothy, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Price Terrell, was baptized. The sponsors were Dr. Craig Morris and Miss Dorothy Wil liams. Last Sunday' Andrew Gerald, son of the late Andrew T. and Lola Thompson Summitt, was baptized at the 11 o’clock service, the sponsors being Mr. Thomas Reese and Mrs. Silas Johnson. An interesting fea ture about this baptism was the fact that the grandmother, Mrs. Grant Thompson, and the mother Lola Thompson, both recently deceased, were baptized in this same font, by the same priest, and that Thomas Reese, who many years ago was god father for Lola, holds the same rela tionship to her little son. Fr. Wil liams called attention to this rathei unusual circumstance. The Sunday school is growing steadily and the morning congrega tions are well attended. The hours of service are 7:30, 10 and 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Public cordially wel comed to all services.
