Kr. W. Dories maned the Rector there was no 111-

him or ageism the Gonunittes of the Museum. They
ereaki be very pleased indeed if it was In their power

to be placed in • proper position, and not
have the responsibility thrown on this shoulders at
neme future day, and if it became a Mame for the

Mr. Combs seconded the resolutioe. The Rector

Mr. H. Darden: That the door is a and

wardens were the canes of all this min Many of the

motion put by the Mayor wee carried, and it was
understood the rector would communicate with Mr.
Hookas. of Wolfeton, with • view to the committee
of the Manum being ogled together to consider the
resolution of the vestry. On the motion of Mr.
W. Darden, seconded by Mr. G. Pounoy, the follow-
log resolution was parsed:—" That the parishioners,

The vestry for this parish woe bold on Monday mom-
iog, presided over by the Rector (Rev. H. F. Jones),
and there were present, Mr. C. Keats, Mr. J. Orient ,
Mr. C. Parsons, Mr. J. G. Mo wham, Mr.W.
Mr. J. E. Stroud, Mr. G. Greasing Mr. W. Bishop,
Mr. 0. Cloward. Mr. 0.3. Wood,Mr. 00. Rummy,
and Mr. W. Seward. The Rector no-appointed Mr. C.
R 164. as his churchwarden. Mr. W. Bishop was
elected pariah warden on the motion of Mr. G. Gres,
seoonded by Mr. W. Osinoad. In reply to Mr. Bo
who Inquired as a matter of courtesy if theist. warden
wished to retire, Mr. Greeting sal I be wee desirous
another perms should bitrinted. He thought it
would be bettor for the if new blood was Im-
portedlnto the Aim . T. G. Busy remarked be
ways advocated that principle. The proposition
was carried unanimoualy. Ur. Keats g== Ma.
G. Growler/ as his Mesas& aid Mr. selected
Mr. J. Greasing. Mr. o.mond suggested was
great need for improvement in the 'armlet of the
church It is stated CI 10.. per annum was to the
person who undertook to look to the fires; some-
times the church was unbearably hot, sad at others
intensely cold. The Chairman remarked the temper-
ate, of the church was often coosiderably lowered by
the wind coming through the roof, which Deeded con.
sidorable remit. This would involve an expenditure
of *boat 1:110. Mr. Greening. the out-going church-
warden stated out of the church rat* of Off 3, only
about £3O bad been paid. He also remarked AS bad
been paid off from the debt outelandbag last year.
Kr. Bishop thought it would be advimbie to extend
the offertorarto the moaning 111111106 61 well 16 the
evening. . Greening said the average amotiat of
each Banda?. collecoloo was 12c. He added that the
effector, bad lateefered • good deed with the church
rate, as people declined to contribute to both. Mr.
Osmond proposed that a cordial vote of thanks be
given to Ilr. G. Grassing hi. services &staid=
lime he had berm warden. Mr.
meoeded, bad the m ou wee carried usmimously.
Mr. Gressieg, I. acknowledging the ooteplieasot,
said what he had done had been • pleurae to him,
sad he would continue to do his best for the interest
et the parish, in onajoaction with the churobwardens
aid his broths/ sideman. Mr. Keats thought 110100
recogaitios Monld emenses from the votary of the
earthen rendered by the choir. They had an mosilent
choir and excellent 1106103 whit* be feared was sot
sufficiently appreciated In the perish. There wee sot
a better or more appropriate musical service at any
church In the town. It 1161 6 duty they owed to the
organist and choir to speak si IX Serena young men
attended constantly at each service without the
slightest prospect of emolumeut, and the least they
could do was to express their acknowledgment of the
valuable merlons they rendered. He would propose
" That the thanks of the vestry be tendered to the
organist and choir for their very effloient services
litathe poet year." This was wooded by Mr.
and adopted. The Chairman hoped the ear
MUC.Mthat had been mad* would not evaporate in
HA thought some definite arrangements could
be arrived at with respect to warming the church,
repairing the roof, sad maintaining the musical
portioe of the service. He thought they should
extend their %meal outride th, borough and considered
the borough member, Mr. Bremer, Amid be soloed
for help. Mr. G. Growls' mentioned that they were
fir= indebted to Mr. Alfred Spicer, who bid 61001
y cootribeted towards various objects conneeted
with the thumb, althofth he was not a p sialtkmer.
Mr. Bishop said the only suggestion he mold make
wee that there should be an offertory In the morning
as well as the evening. The Rector disapproved; be
did not see they would gain anything by the Am,
PllOOlll who gave at one service would not give at the
other. Mr. Wood remarked stranger, came in
the maculae. Mr. 0. P&II01111 t having an
offertory In the morning would tome in • worm
state than they were now, as the,. who now paid the
church rate would then mass to do so. Mr. Rummy
proposed that • eirmnay church rate be agreed to, and
that the amain offertory be continued This was
seconded by Kr. Stroud, and agreed to. Ur. Osmond
proposed, and Mr. Montero seconded" ('bat the Rector,
the two ohurobwarieus, aid the two sidemen. with
MOW& Parsons and Bryce. be • committee to consider
the best means of collecting funds for the repair of the
roof of the church and other necessary matters." This
was adopted, and the proosedines ierullnatsd with •

Mr. R. Davis wanted Mr. Parents ari his Adeeman

choir, for Hedy exertions during iliseret Year. Re
considered the music ben wee 'eel , seoond hardly

cathedral you cannot get much hatter. In mounding
the motion, Mr. G. A. George asked the rector if
there IF" any chance of getting Hymns Ancient awl
Modern, which WY fat and away the better collection
of hymns and tunes. He admitted sums of the hymns
were of somewhat High Church tendency, but it was
ml mosesery to use those. It was a splendid collror.
doe, and very complete, and be thought its adoption
here would be very acceptahls to nearly every one
with mumieel lades in the oongregsti o. It had been
talked about for some time, and he thought it would

events, the musical potion of the oongragation. lilt
were adopted, they could all have hymns a d tunes,
and could all join in the services. Mr. Arthur Lnok
said if Dr. George would make a prop-041m to that
effect, he should be very pleased to second it. It was
undoubtedly the beet collection of hymns and tunes.
Dorchester was at present in Um anomalous position of
baring_ five churches mid five different hymn books.
The Hymns Ancient and Modern were In we at
Christ Murat ; they themselves bad the b tok (Church
Hymns) at present in use, at St. Ptter'a Windle's
Hymn Book was used; Mr. Jones. at All Saints',
bed the Ottrietian Knowledge book, and Mr. Leo crti,
at Fordington, had another book. The Rector
remarked Mr. Leonard had sow the gems as theirs ; he
had vet,' lately put It in. Mr. a. A. George then
submitted a motion to the Abbot that the motor should
consider the advisability of ohanfiloil the hfr"ient
bymn book to Hymns Ancient and "dean.
The Rector said he was exceedingly glad It had been
Wooed forward. It had been mooted several doles,
and Mr. Menem and other seamiest people had been
kin to change Be was a little credal us In
doing so, so, me coulee keowiag what the wishes of the
majority of the people were. For his own part be
should be glad to have the Mame. Provided it we.
ittonlaaooordence with the wishes of to,people. Mr.
often experienced great difficulty in this
matter, because some of the best and most popular
tones were not in their own book, but were In the
Ancient and Modern book, and when he used them be
had to copy them into soother book, whia , entails
on him a great deal of lebour. They had bed their

, that many of the copies were worn out, and be thought

I very awkward for people of a musical turn of mind to
' find out the c swot tuner, as they were often not In
I their own books, and Mr. Moreau was continually
changing the Mess. Ur. Arthur Look : It ie Inwood-
' his to please everybody, Mit I believe the maj 'city
