fine manner last evening. In the opening,
phrase of Calkin's "Nuno Dimittis" The
phrase "Lord now lettest thou thy servant
depart in peace" sung by boys voices, was
strikingly beautiful in clearDess of tone.
The anthem was 'The Lord is great In

effective. The accompaniment OF this
composition is an obligato in orchestral
style, and was played with much taste and
expression.

and the solo at the offertory, by Mrs.
Hollis, was enjoyed by all.
