read • portion of Scripture, a; uf the Rev. H. C.
Leonard, of Bournemouth, offerer; prayer, after which
Mr. J. P. Godyrin read a very lot amain; report. Mr.
Godwin first dealt with the impro molests carried out
by the Baptists of Poole during the list 14 years, and,
referring to the acquisition of the 'organ, he said "Some may say 'lt is inopportune, The organ was
th not wanted, SAG e whole thing is ne u rfitious. Well,
my reply is, we did not seek it. 'I he idea did not
originate with us. Our friends at St. Paul's came to
us and made us the offer. Musical ft hinds said, By
no means lose It; you will not get the like opportunity
but 01100th • lifetime.' So we cafied ante ding to consider
it., and we bought it. Then came the t; tg of Wet, what
to do with It? After grave one asideration we
came to the unanimous conclusion ttu st the present
position was the one we must ultim &rely come to,
and the thing had better be done at once than
lune • second removal. The great difficulty, of
course, was the wet Our committee gave a great
deal of attention to the 'abject, and we took the.
beat opinions we could get, the ma tilt being we
could not effect the alteration under 1:150, seeing it
involved re-building tb• greater portion of the vestries
No as to bear the upper story. As it was an affair
hardly suitable for a contract, piecing eh old building
being so very different from erecting • new one, we
rather hesitated, doubting really what the actual cost
might be,; but one of our committee being rather
confident in hia own judgment on ;such matters
undertook to guarantee that it should not oost more
than £l5O, exclusive of the organ. I suppose we
shall hold him to his word, but whether he haa made
• wise offer or not he must Sad out whoa the bills
come in. There are, however, a few other matters
wnich have grown out of it, and which the committee
felt they could not wisely neglect, such 111 cleaning
down and repainting the chapel, which of course
Involved cleaning and relacq oaring the gas fittings,
wilding the organ pipes, add altering and greatly
Improving the vestries, involving extra charges which
formed no part of the first plans, and which, of course
must be charged to the general fund, so that in
round figures we want £.lOO besides the 850 for
the organ." Appropriate addresses were delivered
by the chairman, the Rev. R. Colman. of B mres.
