SALL3BURY DIOCESAN CHORAL ASSOCIA.

TION.

In commotion with the -rbOvis amodation • choral
festival wee held Isere on Thunday lad. It was
addicted by most of the chain in the district of the
Isle of Purbeck, the more important big those of
Corte, Kiaggea, and Swaaage, and nmabered in the
whole about 100 singers, trained under the =I
superintendence of the Rev. S. C. H. apeaosr
garage 04 Kingdom The church was most
decorated by ladies ef the coagresa, and
• very pier* choirs met for a
short Nimrod ofa=orie,. works to the series,
which began at 4 p.ez. It was choral throughout, the
being intoned by the Rev. & C. H. Spencer
rdrtr, and the Rev. Kearney. The rector read the
lemons and offertory, during which a hymn, 'Give
of thy Goods to God" was sung. Mr. 11V-. Hibbs pre-
sided vrith much ability at the orgaa, and succeeded
admirably (especially for • youth of 16) in keeping the
music steady. For the choirs It must be said that
considering they laboured under the disadvantage of
never having practised together till the afternoon in
question their rendering of the whole service was most
y. The promotional hymn, Magnifiggt,
praiseworthy. The and the eathem, "Rejoice in the
Lord" by Caikin were espedahly well executed.
A sermon wee preached by the Rev. L. Later, late
vicar of Wimborne, f rum Roosting xv. 6, in which be
iodated on the Christian duty of prides to God; bat
exhorting his hearers to engage in it rather as a
privilege. He pointed out the difference hawses'
the mechanical aspect of praise as embodied in the
harmony of the choir,; and of the higher spiritual
aspect embodied in the outpouring of the heart, of
the omagregation. He also dwelt upon the good to be
derived from such social gatkorteg, and the Wired in
church music that will necessarily be awakened by
each means. The discourse was listened to with pro-
found attention. A large number of the local clergy
attended at the sorvice, and so great was the tautest
taken in the festival, that the church was filled to
°reviewing by worshippers from every pert of the
dietrict. About £lO was collected at the offertory
which goes towards defraying the necessary expenses.
After the service • capital tea was partaken of by the
choirs and their friends in the national school:onus,
and the Code and Kingston choirs Rang mow pretty
glees in a very effective style. Before separating the
rector addressed to the choirs • few words of ccei
mendation and encouragement, not forgetting to
mention the good service rendered by Mr. Spencer
Smith in his visite to the choirs, and the instructions
given them from time to time. Mr. Spencer Smith
