Immediately site: the Itanobitoo, Divine
Service was hell In the beautifully appohited
mho )1 chapel. The service was full choral, the choir
being assisted by the Hay. S. E. Nichols, Mr.
Cleather, and M. F. J. Holland, and Hr. Cl ifs
presided at the organ. " Dewar', Chr(Alan soldiers"
woe the processional hymn sang to • well-known tone.
The service was Intoned by the headmaster (Rev. T.
Russell Wright), and the special lesson from
Ecclesiastes vi. we: read by Mr, Hawkso. A special
feature of the service was the anthem, "Oh. H ly
Spirit," a ,mpossd by Mr. F. H. Cliffs, one of the
masters, sad as able successor, as far as the musical
progress a the school la concerned, to the R4ll.
S. E. Nichols. who did Sc more In that dhection.
The soprano solo was very nicely sung, as wee the
neamwmpailled quartette. The anthem altogether Is
a very pleasing composition.

The Doan of Salisbury ters•obed the sermon, found•
hag his remark' on Psalm exit._ 12 In the coarse of
his remarks, the Dean said this was • thought he
would fain bring before them that day. If there was
h 9 be this growth, and if it wee a thing to aim at, how
were they to secure It? and in this school, as in so
many others in tel. land, they did what they could In
give eteurity that thls gr .wth should be genuine and
time. The work of education, said a wiers thinker not
long ego taken to his rest. must, if it is to b
effectual, be grounded in religion—grounded in that
which is intended to bind together every teen ty,
every appetite, !MOT] impulse, every emotion of the
whole 111110—sad those echo ii. whloo alm at • healthy
! development to ek their stand epos the grand principles
! which had been delivered to them In their reformed
Church or Eqgisrvi—e Church which milled itpc.4 die
order with evangelical purity, and which constantly
directed the naiads of all her child-en. young anl old,
to that which was delivers' once for all unto the
salute—a faith in • perfect Hod aud perfect man, from
whom all fulness and goo MOM prawn& and without
whom nothing is atrong,nothiog is holy. Ii wag said by
another, a lotting the b anal al Impeded-At of the
Peslmisl, if ye would grow up like the tree there must
be nothing between you and haven. Sn said the
late Archdeacon Hare, in • kirecilug an esweinhlege
gathered together in a county, out unlike their own,
where he was attempting, and meet suoosesfelly
attempting, to promote the cau.• of real, true
religion, education. And this mud be the governing
lofluence and the governiog principle of those who
were taught in • ..ho .1 like this. They must remem-
ber whatever they might be doing, and however they
might be fitting themselves for the real work and
bu.ineee of life, there muat be nothing between
th an 1 heaven—that w. to say all eyet..m. which
sinned simply at the development of the mind waa an
inteldetual machine, and c mild not really have •
perfect development like the p' tut grown up In It.
youth. There must always be something wentiee.
and when the real struggle of life came, when sielenew
sad sorrow came, when the many cireumetan :es
occurred which tended to bring out the man within
thi man, where would they be thee!, There would be
something wanting t 3caosa the faith of Christ had not
been embraced. It was on this account that in
this 'school, as in so [Deny other, amongst them.
• wise attempt was still mole, never to depart
fain the old paths, but Ile 4 upon • day like this they
could say to thoee who were engaged in the work of
teachieg " 'peel," and to those who were leaving
these walls for ever, "forget nit that whi.l hae been
entruited t you, f you have • vocation and •
mii,istry ti fulful t. :tdvann that great arise, the
cadge of Christ." There are many neuter' in the
world who claimed to hate dominion over their whole
man, but there was only One ti whom they owed t.n
undivided allegiance. Let them see then that they
clung to Him and cherished the words they hal learnt
here. Let their motto be a. th.v had sing toedav—
" Onward, Chrietian soldier..." They should r.-meneber
there was such a thing aa Christian manliness which
di.l not 'mein le participation in harmless and
innocent pleasures, for God Almighty was lee well
plowed ti see His childrea it the playground
as in the echo droore, if only they clung
anatently to Him who love,l them and gee
Himself for them. Then indeed would their life
be like the life of a plant grown up in It. Foul].
There would be a new develonmeat, and a program
from grace to grace and strength to strength, and
although life would still appear to them a chequered
scene, ae It must to all, still it would be • plaits
where oei Himself was teaching them, and where
they were learning lessons thd were ti prepare them
for the kingdom that w mid endure for ever. And
then let this thought be their.—there Inuit be nothing
between them and heaven. Whatever they might
have to do, if they were engs.:e tin the active basin as
of agriculture, or if their pursuit. were more entirely
intellectual, or if their place woe It. the market or
conning-hon.., or where men resort, forget not him;
let the thought of Him illuminate all that wee dark
'in th life, so they might indeed feel themselves
growlog. When they read books which they ml ht
goal, times be tempted to do which claimed alle,dance
to other minders than C trio, remember that • wise
teacher in a great school once gave a rule as t
reeding. Read nothing, sal I he, reed no book which
you would be ashamed to lay near your Bible. Let
that thought sometimes cries them, when, in thee'
days when all sorts of literature were rife, they might
be tempted to read that which ministered to the
lowest of earthly gratific diem', that there must he
nothing between them and heaven, In oonolueion the
Dean said—Let us pray then, we who are growing
who are middle-aged, and those who are
young, that there will be • great and a gloriosa ((wire
for this England of pure, that the aerie of thew who
are here now and their children's children may be as
plant. grown up in their youth, drawing their
nourishment and strength from One who is ever rya y
ti forgive all our imperfections, and ..f whom it may
be sail—" He thrown around our Inc enpletenees His
,mpleteness, and round oar restlesmess His not."
The hymn for the last day of term,
