My Dear Friends, -
As Christian people we all feel the great importance of the religious instruction which is given to the chilidren in the Day School. For a short time, once a week, we gather the children of our own Denominations around us in Church and Chapel, and very valuable is the teaching in the Sunday School, for it has a place in the religious education of the children which the Day School can hardly fill. Those who are engaged in it are doing an important work for Christ. But, however much we may make of our Sunday Schools, we realise that it is to the Day School, with the attendance on five days in the week, and the staff of trained teachers, that we look to give most of the instruction. In Hartlip we have a school that has been richly endowed that in it may be taught the doctrines of the Church of England, but I believe that in our parish all parents feel that their children are receiving religious teaching in the school, of which they approve. I wish that some of them could have been present when the Inspector visited the school on July 15th. I am sure all will be pleased to read the excellent report which he sent. It is worth printing in full in the Magazine.
The Rummage Sale on July 22nd realised the splendid sum of £8/5/4½. We have not yet settled exactly how the money is to be divided, but it will much help several of our funds, and our thanks are given to those who sent things to be sold and to the many helpers at the sale.
I remain,
Your Sincere Friend and Vicar,
D. H. CREATON.
REPORT ON RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION, HARTLIP
ENDOWED CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL,
July 15th, 1927.
I visited this School on Friday, July 15th, questioning the children in the three divisions on the subjects of their religious syllabus. The Infants answered readily, and showed a thorough acquaintance with Bible stories and remembered well passages of Scripture they had learned. The children of the middle division were not very certain about the Old Testament, confusing several of the characters they had learned about, but their
answers to the questions about the New Testament were excellent, and showed how well this part of their syllabus had been taught. The senior division have covered a wide field, and are able to answer questions from all parts of a large syllabus thoughtfully. They showed by their reasoning that they are being wisely taught, and are making good use of the opportunity thus affored them. This is an excellent school in every way, and the Headmaster and his staff deserve credit for its tone and standard.

THE CHURCHYARD.
The annual House-to-House Cellection will be made during August, and the Committee trust that a liberal response will be made to the appeal. They believe parishioners are proud of our Churchyard, and appreciate the way it is being kept, and will join with them in thanking Mr. Luck for all his valuable work in connection with it.
