gregation in attendance was large. After the
saying of the morning prayer by the congrega-
ton, the choir sang the Venite of Tails with
fine effect the entire orche force of Trinity
Church and the Chapel being engaged therein.
The chant was followed by the reading of the
Psalms appropriate to the day, and those by
the singing of the TIE Deum and the Jubilate
following the communion service, the anthem
of Handel solo, "How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the Gospel of Peace and bring
glad tidings of good things A discourse was
then preached by Bishop Potter, from the text,
