PamterrarioN —The vestry of Holy
Trinity Church was on Thursday evening laid the
scene of • gratifying eeremony. It ix now well known
that Mr. T. M. Morgan. who for 12 years has filled
the poet of organidt with great ability, is,' oy
of his pnesiotion in the Education Department,
about to Mai.. the tow., and the ;ism and present
members id the choir felt they could not let the
orcasion IN by withoet expressing to Mr. Morgan
their regret at his departure and the eiteem and
respect in which they bold bini. The Rector acted
the part of chairman, and besides the mesubrini of the
choir there were present Mr. and Mn.. A. H. Lock,
Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, and Mr. W. J. Durden. The
Rector laid at the request .4 the choir he Mut to
perform • task which with all his heart lie ahould have
been glad to have ahifted on to the dhouldens of some-
body el., a task which be did not exaggerate to •ay
was one .4 the middeet he had to perform for years.
They were met together that evening to ask
Mr. Morgan to except at the hanld of the choir
a email token of edteetn, regard, and affection
which be Wa, spoke poditiv f swayed the minds
4 every aingle member of the choir, old as
well as young. (Applau..) Mr. Morgan had been

He took the 'minim 'mem of the cheir when it wa • at

They were mot there that night to make Mr. Morgan

thing to exist between the organidt, the church choir,
and the one in lii• position during • large number

all resp‘nsibility and all anaietT with regard to the
choir ; he liad kept the choir together with the
greatest tact isiadible, and by his ability he had raised
them to this high state of efficiency. They could
aol therefore look on this. severance bet with great
sorrow ; and he could assure them it made him look
forward to the future with ainsiderable ant iety. They

choir, explained that the testimonial Wal subscribed

although ;where they ought to be adiamed of it, the
youngaters comae:toed it, and told them what they
ought to do. (Laughter.) He alio asked one or two
