TRINITY CHURCH.
The Bishops vista Word of
Praise for the Vested ChoirS.

Bishop Isaac Lea Nicholson will
visit Trinity Parish, Mineral Point,
on Monday next, and in the evening
will preach and administer the apos-
tolic rite of confirmation. He will be
greeted and welcomed not only by
members OF his own communion but
by many others who anXiously look
for his coming amongst us. On for
mer visits he has expressed his APP
probation of the Boys vested choir;
and this time he will find that two
large we'll organized choirs assist in
the services.
Three years ago by sanction of the
rector, Dean Chase the Boy choir was
organized by Mrs. w. S. Ross and
Henry Jacka, with Miss Anne II. Gale
as organist. 1t soon attained a mem
bership of about thirty-fve young
men and boys. Mrs. Ross has given
her time and talents uusparIngly to
the work OF training the members to
properly render the chants and hymns
of the church. An attendance Of from
twenty to thirty members at each
practice and Sunday morning service
attest to an appreciation Of her work,
and to the interest and zeal which it
has inspired.
The evening choir, organized about
two years ago, is composed of about
thirty young ladies, girls, young meu
and boys. To Mrs. Chase, Mrs.
Ludden, Mrs Ferrin and Miss Gale
credit is due for its present large
membership, and for the training
given in singing. The increasing
attendance at the evening services
shows the worth Of their efforts in the
direction indicated. The work OF both
choirs il in harmony with the Church .
idea of the education and training OF
the young in matters moral and spir-
itual, and cannot fail TO be productive
OF greater good in the future.
