ri ARV SST THAMITVINGS AT HOLY T 111211 T T. —1
services in thanksgiving for the lat e abundant best
were held at this church on Sunday last. The
decorations were not very profuse, but were
characterised by exquisite taste. 'the services
commenced with an early celebration of the Holy
Communion. At the nasal morning service the
attendance was very large, every east being 611. 1. The
introductory hymn was the well-known harvest-home
hymn—" Come ye thankful people come," which was
snug as • proosesiona The whole of the service was
intoned by the Rector, the responses being by
Millis. The Yenite was sung to &chant by Wesley, and
the special Psalm', lxv. and civ., to chants by
Randall, Hayes and Macfarren. Of tte chanting
we cannot speak too highly, the -high state
of edicioncy to which the excellent choir, undue Mr.
Morgan 's direction, ham attained being fully
exemplified. The Ts Dam was well sung to a
*haat service, Toronto in D, and the Bcnedictus to •
chant by Mr. Morgan. The anthem was Barnby's
well-known "0 Lord how manifold." The hymn
following, "Lord of the Harvest," was sung to the
sweetly pretty tune, "Edmonton," and the offertory
sentences to music by the organist and Dr. Irons. An
83T1r8t
sermon was preached by the Row W.
Ihuttleworth (Holy Trinity, Weymouth),
from Corinthians ix., 8. At the close of the service
the recessional, "On our way rejoicing," W3I sung.
The afternoon servios was exceedingly well attended.
Gadelry's anthem "Blessed be the name of the Lord,"
was sung. At the evening service there was •
crowded congregation, and great difficulty wag
experienoed in proem ins seats, chairs and st soli having
to be placed down each of the aisles. The pr-ceseional
was the same as the morning, and the service wee
again intoned by the Rector. Special Psalms cxlv.,
cxlvii., and ci. were /SIDI to chants by Dr. Spark,
Smith, and Evens The Magnifiest and Nun°
Malta were sung to • bold and effective service by
the °resale.. Dr. Stainer's "Ye shall dwell," was
tb• anthem, and wee rendered exceedingly welL
The Rector, preaching in the evening said :—We
are pleading
and
to-night in aid of that debt which
ea over us, d which has been banging over
us for ewe five years. The burden of it is very
lamome and very unpleasant indeed, and we must very
much to wipe it off. We can do so if you vrill help us.
We feel it ought to be wiped off, and we are making
strenuous efforts now to do so. We hope it will be
done before long, and then—won't we have a thanks-
giving 'orrice ass I But • great deal has to be done,
and we appeal to your gratitude at this harvest festival.
Let me also appeal to thou who are strangers amongst
us, but who have come here on a spode] occasion of
this sort because they enjoy our services, and because
they think, and peaaps rightly, they find here the
services of the Church of England rendered, as it was
the wish of that Church it should be rendered, heartily,
=:111y, thankfully, and warmly, and not cold,
anddead. So I ask you to help us liberally this
evening. Many of our own people have done an, while
others have not, but perhaps they will yet do so. Let
us then do what we can, not only in this, but in every
other good work—The total collections amounted to
£3O. Much praise is due to Mrs. Everett, Mrs.
Gene, Mies Coombe, Miss Penton, Mies Menisci, Miss
Oldfield, the Miens Williams, and Mr. Cooper for the
taste displayed in the decorations.
