St. Paul's Cathedral will be opened for the ordi-
nary services on Advent Sunday, December 2. The Dean
and Chapter are unwilling to discontinue any longer Divine
worship in the cathedral, though the improvements in the
choir are by no means finished. The Dean and Chapter
and Committee have been unable to carry out more com-
pletely this portion of the great projected improvements,
partly from want of time, partly from the want of funds.
It is proposed to open the new dome area and the new organ
with a musical festival on the holyday of the Conversion of
St. Paul, Friday, January 25, under the direction of Mr.
Goss, organist of the cathedral. On the Sunday after
(January 27) the Special Evening Services will commence.
The Lord Bishop of London has conferred the
Chancellorship of St. Paul's Cathedral, vacant by the death
of the Rev. Henry Soames, M.A., on the Right Rev.
George Trevor Spencer, D.D., some time Lord Bishop of
Madras.
