ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE. There were more parents and friends present than usual a t the annual ,Prize giving of St, Mary's 8chool, Calne, :which took place on Friday afternoon. The Archdeacon of Wilts (Canon J. W. Coulter) presided, and supporting him :we.r e the Archdeacon of Dorset (Canon E. J. Bodington, for many years Vicar of Calne), the Master of Marlborough College (Mr. G. C. Turner), Miss 1'urner (his sister) and Miss Matthews (headmistress) . The large mom was crowded, and the proceedings, which lasted only a little over an hour, were brimful of interest. Miss Matfhews delivered a splendid report, the Master of Marlborough, who presented the prizes, gave some practical words to the 100 or so scholars who faced the ;platform in five long rows, and .:b.e Archdeacon of Dorset, so long a popular figure in connection with the school, and who knows most of the pupils by name, was full of humour, though once the scholars roared and nearly " scored" off him. THE CHAIRMAN. The Chairman, in a few opening observations, said that hist year h e appeared before them as a shy and ignorant new boy at school, ff:?r. it was. hi~ first aJ.pearance at their prize t:ivmg. He did not know that much of the ignorance had even now been removed, but he supposed his shyness had disappeared during the 12 months. That :was due to the fact that he had received such a kindly welcome from those who were su.pposed to be exceptionally stern and strict where youth was concernedhe meant suchleople as headmasters and headmistresses. year ago he was the newest comer amongst the governors of the school, but now there were several who were newer than h e was, and it gave one a nice and pleasant feeling, just as it did at school, t o feel there were p eople junior to oneself. Last year he was rather afraid and timid in the presence of such governors as Archdeacon Bodington and Mr. A. M. Dunne, to :whom the school owed so much, but now they welcomed several new members amongst the governors, and he was sorry none of them could be present that afternoon. Mr. J. F, Bodinnar, so well-known to all in the school began his governorship 12 months ago, and since they they had had Lord Warrington of Clyffe, and the Marq.u is and Marchioness of Lansdowne. They were sorry thl'lt the latter could not be present, especially for the reqson that prevented them. It was not only a great honour for the school to have such governors as he had mentioned, but he could assure them that they took a deep and personal interest in the school's welfare, and had been of the greatest value to it already. H e could speak on b ehalf of all the governors when he said that they h ad every faith in the future of the school, and that they were ,p repared to do all in their power to not only maintain its present good position, but to improve it, if possible. To that end, he was sure the governors would do all in their power. The school had had a great past. A part of its history had perhaps been rather ch equered, as was the case with most .schools; but that period had passed; it was ,going along smoothly and successfully. They looked to the future with hope, believing that .t hat future would be more glorious than its past or its ,present. HEAD MISTRESS' S REPORT. Miss Matthews presented the followinll' report:" It is extraordinarily pleasant to see so many friends here this afternoon. Each year we find a larger number of parents rallying .round us, and helping to give to our prize giving an air of festivity. That we try to make this afternoon as informal and brief as possible is, I think, appreciated by our friends, who certainly give us increasing support each year. We are most grateful to you for coming. We are delighted to w~lcome the Master of Marlborough, who has been so good as to spare time in his amazingly busy life for a visit to us this afternoon. Our little school was founded in 1873;. his great school, I believe, thirty years earlier. In a way therefore we belong to the same generation, though we do not venture to look upon ourselves as more than a very small younger sister. I ho,pe he will allow us to do that. Our little school has already had many links with Marlborough; we are hoping for more. We have frequently had the pleasure of entertaining here our brothers, or cousins, · or friends from the College. We have h eard many stories of life ther e. Other Marlburians are, I doubt not. verv much like two with whom I am closely nonnected: their stories are occasionally of such thrillin~ interest that life at St. Mary's seems tame m contrast. In some of these stories the Master has doubtless figured, so that it is a special interest to see him in the flesh ! But it is not only for satisfying our 0

curiosity that w11 are so glad to have him with us to-day. We do consider it an .h onour that the Master of so great a school should show us the hand of friendship in this :way. " 'l'he outstanding event of the year is, as our Chairm!J,n has told us, the enlargement and the consolidating of our governing body. It is a great thing for our school to hltve the support of such distinguished names. ·I should like to say how proudly we welcome our new friends. We are sorry that Lord and Lady Lansdowne are not with us to-day, and for the reason, their son's illness, " Last ye!J,r I shamelessly ended my report wit h a somewhat lengthy list of our needs. I placed first an enlarged cookery school. Directly after the prize giving a most generous father, l:li r- -Jolm·=-Bind{-ey,-giwe- us a lead; others followed, and the Governors felt encouraged to begin on a scheme which far exceeds anything for which we had hoped. An ideal site was awaiting development at St. Prisca' s, and not only are we soon to be working in wha t promises to be a perfectly delightful kitchen, but above it is an exceptionally fine dormitory, which will be in use next term, whj.le the beautiful new bathrooms there can only be fully a.ppreciated by those who until last term had to be content with all the inconveniences caused by sloping roofs x·eaching-at their lowest end-barely 4ft. high ! '!'hose have gone fo1· ever. Above all is a flat roof for which all sorts of purposes will soon be found. '!'his is the largest and best extension we have yet made. 'l'hat the demolition of the old building was only begun in the last week of July meant we were bound to experience some discomforts this term until we could be finally settled in. These are already almost forgotten. We are most grateful to our architect, Mr. Rudman, for his very successful plans-there is !\ distinction about them,-and to Messrs. Syms and their men for carrying out the work in so cheery a manner. '!'his, moreover, is not the end of our schemes, as the extra dormitory space at St. Prisca's will enable us to spax·e room in this building for a really delightful library. Our present one is so small and cramped that we shall hardly know ourselves next term with a really roomy library where, I hope, a :whole form of girls can work comfoi·tably uncrowded. " There have been other developments too. In March last the governors were alile to acquire a s;mall extra house, St. Faith's, which has made possible needed expansion, while the scheme inaugux·ated by our friend Mr. Durst, and helped forward by him and Mr. Bodinnar, for ,panelling the chapel has gone steadily forward. We now want only some £40 to see the complet1•m of the whole scheme. " With regard to the year's work I have nothing very striking to record. Only one girl has gone on to the University; Mary 'l'allents was awarded the Winifred Foster scholarship at Durham. Twelve girls have passed the school certificate, but we have now definitely dropped any higher examinations except for those who are obliged to take college scholarships or entrance tixaminations. l'ersonally I do not feel that our sixth form work suffers for want of the stimulus of outside examinations, and the gains that come from an unhampered syllabus are, I think, very marked. We find time in a girl's last two years at school for all sorts of subjects which are not combined in the syllabus of the higher certificate, subjects which I think are invaluable in widening the interests, and I hopeeventually the hobbies, of the girls who, whatever their future professions may be, ought to be prepared in some definite measure for home life and home making. '!'hat is why I value the courses we plan in such subjects as hygiene, history of art, Greet literature, architecture, etc., quite apart from actual lessons in domestic science and handicrafts. Some of these can always be taken by girls doing .really advanced work in English or languages or music. If we were to attempt to work them in connection with a higher certificate the strain wo.ild be intolerable. Apart from that I personally f eel that there are other dangers. If examinations arn the spur right up till a girl's last year at school she may leave school with little idea or working and reading for the sake of the subject itself. The one thing I hope for is that when a girl l e.aves us she may go out into life keenly alive to the fact that school has only given her a starting point in her education; and that so far from being finished its foundations have only been laid . "In our actual curriculum there have been f ew changes. We have added Italian to the subjects taught and the few :who learn it find great enjoyment in it. One girl, who came to us with a very fair knowledge in the subject, did well in the examination of British Italian League, gaining first class honours in the advanced examination. We again presented candidates for the junior housecraft examination of the NatioLal Council of Domestic Studies, and there we did very well indeed, three out of the four candidates obtaininj!' first class certificates The report of the inspector was

very encour aging: • '!'here i11 evidence of good, sound teaching and much enthusiasm; wit h t he new kitchen the course should be very successful.' AH our candidates also passed the certiticate of the institute of Hygiene. " <.iuite apart from outside examinations, however, 1 teel that vei·y good sound work has been done throughout the year. 'l'he standard of' work is certainly better in practically every subject than it was two years ago, and I feel that there is a wholesome vigour ,1:1nd interest which is becoming increasingly infectious. 'l'he attitude to its work of even the middle and low er school has never been more satisfactory. 'l 'o all the stall' :who have worked loyally and zealously here, especially to our senior mistress, l\iiss Alexand er, l am intensely grateful. 1 feel aui·e that they must this- year -especially feel they can see their reward in the really marked im,provement in the standard of work. l should like also to voice the thanks of his pupils to Mr. Bevil Hrowne, who gives us so ungrudgingly of his scholarship week by week in h~s Old '.l'estament classes. " Our handwork also is in a vei·y sound condition. Mr. Culley's work in the carpentry shop bears fruit in all sorts of delightful work: done by the girls, even by quite beginners. 'l'he things made during the year have varied from the usual book shelves, t rays, and fender stools to dog kennels, wheelbarrows, and even ,a large oak bedstead. As the- term is barely six weeks old we have little iinished work, unfortunately, which we can show you. Leather,work was introduced as a hobby last year and under Miss l:'ound'11 most capable guidance i·eaHy beautiful things have been made. '!'he 11tudio, under our tust resident art mistress, is also turning out good applied :work. 'l'iles 11nd batik work have been attempted successfully, ana now a specially interesting coursti of lino cutting is being planned. Last term sketching parties did keen work, while an .architec ture class has aroused real enthusiasm. 'l'he interest in needlework has never been highei·, and the standard of work is rising steadily. About 35 girls entered for a dressruaking competition last term with strikingly sood results. Miss Clark is to be congratulatect on rousing such enthusiasm. "We have not yet h11.d Miss Fanny Davies' biennial ins,pection of tb.e music; that is taking place next ·month. l am sure in music the school is doing very well. We are most grateful to Mr. l'ullein for all his work here, and to Miss Jennings and Mis& Jiedone Jones for all they do tor the musical life of the school. Unde1· Mrs. Jiill' s able teaching we have girls making excellent headway with the violin, and in spite of many difficulties the orchestra plays an important pai·t in their training. Oirls have frequent opportunities of hearing good music, not only in rlath, and occasionally in Calne, but in the school itself. We have been able to secure the Wessex Quartet and the Wayfarers' 'l'rio, and this year derived great pleasure from the first visit of an old girl. Anne Wood, whose voice has developed so remarkably in the · short time since she left school. " Turning to the ,p hysical side, we can re.port a year of very good health. With the exception of six cases of measles and a few slight cases of influenza, there has been no illness at all. We are very grateful to the parents for all the care they take to keep illne.s s away from the school; we are also grateful to t hem foi· their_appreciation of the care given here by Dr. Ede, Miss Damant, and t::iister. . " On the games field we have been very successful. Our lacrosse and n etball team11 were unbeaten. Our drill team again beat the Godolphin 8chool, though by a narrow margin. l think we may be justly proud of the fact that we have won the cup there against so much bigger a school for six out of nine years. 'l'he dancing display arranged by Miss Goodrich, who has done_ so much for all our physical work, gave such pleasure last term to large local audiences that we hope to repeat it aftei· t ea for the sake of those who were not able to be with us last term. We regret very much that the smallness of the hall makes it impossible for us to invite our Calne friends to stay for it. " Our old girls have sup.ported us very well during the year. A three days' reunion, held after the girls had gone home last July, proved an exceptionally happy time. We welcomed 54 of them. I think the Old Girls' Association, which was founded at the meeting, will prove an immense gain to us all. We constantly hear good news of our old girls. Perhaps the outstanding success of the year has been that of E . Kitson, who after a year's work only, headed the list in the anthropological and archreological Tripos at Cambridge. As a result of her distinguished work there she has been invited by Mr. Leakey to join the East Africa archreological expedition to Kenya Colony to do research work into the Nakura culture, :which is dated provisionally about 2000 B.C. Several of the old girls have gone

forged b7 the fact that our head jfirl returned to us on!y yesterday after a ten weeks' tour, arranged for public school girls, in Canada. Her experiences have indeed been thrilling; she has covered more than 12,000 miles during the whole tour from the Atlantic to the Pacific, staying in Canadian homes and learn· ing something of the home lif!l in Canada. I hope her experiences may give to some at least of the girls 111 desire to seek adventure overseas. '!'here are so many schemes for sending public school boys to the Dominions I cannot he!p feeling tha.t if their sisters hold bacll> it is not because they pre la.eking in the spirit of advent"ilre, I.mt because there are grave diffi.c ulties; often parents feel a daughter cannot be spared, more often it is because suitaQle openings do no.t appear to be forthcoming. A much ne eded work is to open centres in the Dominions where girls from our schools may .be received until the right ,place can be found for them; this is a work which is receiving attention at the time. 1'hern are numerous openings, but we still lack the connecting link. Last term Dame Meriel 'Talbot came to speak to the school on the subject. I think you will agree with me that we ought not to be content until it is as possible for girls from schools such as this, as it is for their brothers from the public schools, to look forwai·d to a life overseas. "A large number, now, of our old girls are married. I have seen many of their homes and their children, and in each case have felt very pl"oud that the school has had a share, in the making of such mothers. Perhaps I may be .forgiven if I say that I do not know of anything more encouraging to our work here. "It remains only to thank all those friends ,who have supported us, and supported us so generously during the year. I have already mentioned tne help :which has encouraged the governors to embark on their new schemes for us. We have had many gifts for our -eha,pel, books for the library-including a most gener• ous gift from Mr. Bevil Browne from his father's library-hall chairs, pictures, 1md so on. Very many friends, too, have showered prizes upon us. There is one which I must specially mention, as it is given to us for the last time this year. In spite of all the immens.e amount of work involved by his laying down his high office, the Archbishop of Canterbury has again found time to think of us. Not only has he S'ent his annual prize for Divinity (:won this year by Anne Le Mesurier), but he has enclosed with it-as he has done each year-a really wonderful letter of advice and encouragement. Anne will forgive me if I ql}ote from it: " I am increasingly sure, as my long life draws towards its close, that the stoutest of all safeguards in times like ours is to be found in a thoughtful and courageous handling of foundation truths set forth in Holy Scriptures at sundry times and in very diver~ manners. But if the safeguard is to ' tell ' for us, it must be because we apply to it our utmost intelligence as well as earnest and E!xpectant faith." "This was the spirit in which the school w·as founded. We are intensely ~rateful to all who have helped to kee,p this spirit alive, and the encouragement given by the Archbishop for tho twelve years he has given his prize, has been of untold value. As a school we have always been rich in friends, an<l it is the inspiration we derive from them that makes our work here so full of hope." PRIZE LIS'.1'.

Afterwa rds giving a brief address, Mr. '.l'urner expressed the pleasure it was for him to be present, although, as he had told Miss Matthews, he should be rather frightened as, well, because one was always inclined to be a little nervous when doing a thing for the first time. 'l'his was the first occasion on which he had had the honour of giving away prizes at a girls' school, though it .was not so very different from giving them away at a boys' school, which he had done several times. He supposed he should first ask them to be nice to their brothers. As a young sister of them ll.t Marll;lorough, they had been very nice to him so far, " but do be nice to your brothers. 'They will not be always reasonable (laughter), and some of their idea13 will ~eem absurd to you, but be kind to them, and remember what they may not ;remember-that you have at least as much right to your opinwn as they have to t4ein." He thought they at Caine and they at Marlborough had one of the very greatest assets in common, and that was the country that lay between. )!)very time he came from Marlborough to Calne or vice versa, h e felt that that was one of the inalienable privileges of living in the neighbourhood. He was sure it had given Marlborough College one of the ·greatest qualities it coul,d have; equally so did it give them at Calne one of tlie qualities which they were most proud of. As they looked across the down.a lying between, as they looked at the skyline, they would see what he meant: there was shown to them two great qualities which really gave the greatest distinction as well as the ~reatest efficiency to character-one was simphcity, the other was delicacy. They :would notice that the line of hills derived its almost startling beauty from its great simplicity, and if they looked more closely they :would find that that great simplicity was combined with extra subtle d elicacy. That was with what was called things of nature. and that was so with the greatest things of art. If they took what was in view in conjunction with the architecture of ancient Greece, they would find there were just those particular things about it-those forms were extremely simple, yet the detail was extraordinarily delicate and subtle. It was the combination of great simplicity and strength with very great delicacy and precision that produced that matchless beauty. The combination of the two gave us what was called!roportion; and if that afternoon he suggeste one thing above all others that they could get from their time- at-school, he- woirld -say-irwim-w!Iat was called a sense of proportion. That was to say, understanding quite early what were the things that mattered most and sticking to them, and putting the things that did not matter so much in their right place. He gave a few illustrations anent the sense of proportion, and? pointing out that there were always little irritating things that ha.;ppened in life which caused a certain amount of fuss and even difficulty, urged that if the girls obtained some sense of proportion while at school. they would later on be more easily able to grapple with the little difficulties that arose. It was, he supposed still true to say that boys when they left school did lead a public school life

mote than 1irla. T~•lr ~teHiclDll and b\Ula neH brought t'fltin up ag'auie't their fellow men in one wa7 or a.nother more than the work that many women had to do diet. That made

him feel it .w as almost more iropc>rtant that girls, while they were at school, should le!lrn to acauire that sort of social virtuei which we hoped school helped ·to give ua all, because, aB he said, when ooye left school perhaps they .w ould have to knock u.P against others, and still iii. a sense be more I} t school than girls. It was important, nevertheless, for boys and it was even more important for ghls, that while they were at school they should learn those particular qualities of tolerance and patience which were mostly re~uired in our living together in the world to·day. If they learned to tolerate other people and see their points of view, and put things in the right proportion, and stuck hard to the things that mattered most, then they would find themselves proof against the subtlest attacks that would be made on them from the world outside. From the r eport of Miss Matthews, he felt convinced that at that school they had a tremendous opportunity, and he congratulated th em heartily not only u,pon .w hat they had achieved, but upon their good luck in being there. He hoped there would be opportunities as time went on for more interchange than they had in the past between Mal'lborough and Calne. He should like some inside information of their school like Miss Matthews had of hii> (laughter), as he should feel more on an equality the next time he came. "'!'he more opportunities," concluded Mr. 1'urner, " we have of showing fri endship one with another, the bet ~er I certainly shall be pleased a.t our end. We wish you very well." AlWHDEACON BODING'l'ON. 'The Archdeacon of Dorset voiced the feelings of all by expressing to the Master of Marlborough their gratitude for coming to 8t. Ma1-y's. He huinorousJy "ch'a stised " Miss Matthews because he had not, for the first time for 20 years, been included amongst the donors of prizes, but the Headmistress ,promptly assured him th at that would be " remedied " next year. l:'roeleeding, the Archdeacon said he learned from the report t hat the pupils were what l:le always thought they were-very good people, althou!lh when h e had expressed that sentiment to the Headmistress she had not always been altei>gether in absolute and perfect agreement with him (laughter). Pupils did not always know what their masters and mistresses thought of them. Only the previous day h e wa:s looking through some old letters, and found one of his first headmaster's to his father in reporting on him. Could they imagine anything more interesting? ·· lt was a great surprise to me," said the Arcl1deacon, at which th e scholars laughed h eartily, but q'Uickly he retorted, "It was not what you think, it was the other way about " (renewed laughter). 'l'he letter, he add ed, read: " Mr, Dear Sir, I write to you about your son. ' Heaven only knew, continued the Archdeacon, what was coming next, but the letter proceeded: " But I can only say and say without any r eservation whatsoever, that he is a good little boy." "·well," added the Archdeacon, " I think I was; I must have been, but I did not think so at the time. I thought I was a naughty boy-but we never know (lal1ghter). H e kne:w the girls at St. J\foi·y's were good and clever, and he suggested that on another occasion prize winners should be invited to give a short performance of the subjects in which they had excelled. Humorously he told a story of one girl who was in a ;party that he took up the church tower, who asked him if she might climb up the flag staff. Thinkin~ she could not do it, .h e replied "Yes, rather,' and before h e could make any further remarks she was halfway up (laughter). Referring to the visit in the summer of form er girls, he said they were an uncommonly good lot. If they had managed to produce, in spite of everything, such a lot as that, they had done something after all. " They were a very good looking lot, such as made our hearts proud," he added, amid laughter. They showed in their talk what h e felt sure the present girls would show in their generation when they left-that there was a wise spirit prevailing at St. Mary's. They were a Christian school, thank God! and that was :what we wanted . W e wanted Christian schools; nothing_!ll o~ and nothing less t han scliOols imoued with the Christian spirit. H e was delighted that this school was imbued with the true Christian spirit, inclnding that of sincerity and common sense. What we wanted in this nation was to bring up our race as God fearing citizens-sober, wise, and sane Christians, and he hoped 1 that would always be the s,pirit pervading at St. Mary's. Many former scholars had gone out and done good work in the world and he could only thank God that the school was sa.Ved many years Ago, that it was in being, and that it was going on from strength to strength. The usual cheers were given, th·e National Anthem was sung, and those present afterwards had tea.

St. Mary's School has "11dopted ' "an· elementar·y s~hool in Aberdare. In this school, which numbers about 400, · about one-third are the children of unemployed, the others mainly of small tradesmen, ..wP.o. are frequently as badll' hit by. the pre·s ent ·crisis as the miners. During the holidays one of the St. :Mary's '. staff visited the Aberda're school and realised the urgent need for help. A further link is being "forged by corres pondence between the girls 'of 'f?oth schools. It is obvious that so small a commqnity · as St. Mary's cannot do 11rnch to alleviate the distress preva:lent in so 'l11rge a school. So far, however, the collections have amounted to over £20, and four ve.ry large \ bales of 1disused clothes, all in good co,nditjon: have -b een dispatched. On St. Paul's day a special "service of oJfering ,, was held in the' school chapel, when gifts of new· clothes, some · made by the girls during. the holidays. others bought by th em, wez:e offered. · As a r esult 178 article:i of • clothing, shirts, knickers, dresses, stockings, petticoats, jerseys, et c., ha\·e been dispatched. In addition to this all the drrssmaking and sewi ng classes are by.~y making additional clothes, and it .is hoped that by Easter another large consignment will be ready.

MUSICAL SOCIETY PERFORMS ' ELIJAH.' As wns to be Pxpecled, tht>i·e was a packed congregation at the Parish Church on Wednes· day evening, when the Musical Society performed Mendelssohn's "Elijah." Not all the congregation consisted of Calne r<'sidents; n good many ~ame from Chippenham, Devizes, Bromham1 and other places, and they w t>re well rewarued for their journey, because (locally) they hal'e never heard the 01·alorio rendered better. The baton was again wielded by Mr. W. R. Pullein, the organist of the Parish Church, who for may yea rs has conducted the Society. 'fhe .1rchrstm was under the leadership of Mr. Harold Bernard, that prince of violinists from Bristol, and there was a ch ange on the organ stool this ~ear. :For several performances Mr. Percy l! ry, of Salisbury has presided at th e orgau, but now Mr. H.J. Davis. of Christ Church, Bath, filled the role. The chorus number ed about 60 and the soloists were: soprano, Miss Stiles Alien (Loudon); contrullo, Miss Anne Wood (London); t enor, Mr. Ernest Wait (Westminster Abbey); and bass, Mr. Grahnm Clifford (Royal College of Musie). 'l'ho title role, ns is well known, falls to the bass, and little mun though he is, Mr. Clifford has a wonderful range, and gave a rcnditio11 which was exceptional, because, owing to singing in Mirn ch ester the previous evening, ho did not reach Calne until five o'clock, and had no opportunity of rehearsi1111 with the other principals and orchestrn. His opening recitative at once showed him ns a polished siuger, and no one could have been more relieved than Mr. Pullein, for (to use a cri.cket metaphor) it was like puttinK a batsman in first withou t However Mr. knowing his batting pow,~~·s. Clifford did right well, tLi.rewing true declamation into his work. His recitatives in answer to the rry of the prieHts of 'Baal 1w ere thoroughly expressiYe1 and the air .

Sl1e took her part with every succ~,;s, and those in the congregation who knew h er were rejoiced lo thin,k of the progress this young Judy is making.

Tho locnl performe1·s her e did well, their voices blending ni cely with th e principals. As to the chorus work , 11oth ing but praise can .be snicl of it; the> gemmil opi nion seemed to he that it was lhe fhwst choru s the Society l1 11R Iliad, at least for a good many years. Whether hi s is conrrt or not, we will not enter into. ut thPt'e is no dPnying f·hc !'net f hat the memers of tl1e Society <'onld h nrdly luwo done ilter. The parts were ,pretty eve11ly lmlr111ced, and the whole r h oruq wo,.k was exrPpHona ll r good. From first t:o last th ere was not a perc•Pntible .fau lt. f'X<'rpt thnt on onc occasion in "But the Lo1·d" th(l ladies <lid not quite

respon'd- tO""thebeat one part. Beyond that, everything was rendered with complete success, and it is really marvellous what .Mr. Pullein gets out of what is a comparatively small l:iooiety. The " Baal " chorus was exceptional, and the finale wa~ well susttnned and effectivtJ, as were the other items. Th e soprauos were Lhe best line the SoGiety bas had for some years; the contraltos (the tew attacked with vigour; the tenors were stronger (aud good) than before; a nd the bassos made a fir st-rate foundation. 'ro one and all, every credit must go for a splendid rendering, due in the main to keenness on the part of the performers. How easy it is to spo t whether a performer is kceu or not; they all had their h earts and minds m their work ,and that is why Caine gave as good. a rendering of "Elij ah " as any small town h as ever done. Much as credit 'is due to the singcrs 1 more is perhaps due to Mr. Pullein, who h elu the baton with such ability that attack aucl precision were assured, not forgetting the light and s hade, which were a splendid feature of th(' work: To him, many thanks for his excellent Society. The organ wa s controlled with taste by Mr. Davis, and neither he nor the orchestra overdid the thing. Prev.ious to the performance A rchcleacon J . W. Coulter offered prayer, and at the end of the first part the hymn "Angel voices ever singing" was sung, a collection being taken for the , expenses, amounti ng to £27 10s. The general · arrangements for thP evening were made by Mr. Charles 0. Goug h (hon. secretary to the Society for many years), who was also one oJ the chorus.

"iEAG-ui~ OF NATIONS UNION.-The annual meet. ing of the local branch was held In St. Mary's school hall on Tuesday evening. Mr. C.. 0. Oou~h pres ided, in the unavoidable absence of the Presi· <lent, over a good · attendance. The secretary (the Rev. W. G. Addison) presented a report of the hranch actl'V'ities for the year and of th e three pub· lie meetings .organised in the town by the brnnch . The treasurer, Mr. It. S. Heath, preS<lnted a financial statement showing a balance in hand of over £10. The Mayor ·(M:r. A. G. Angell) was unanimously elected president for the ensuin g year. Thero fol· lowed an address by the regional representative, L!.eut.·Colonel G. N. Wyatt, D.S.O., on "Public Oplnion and the League of Nations." The speaker sbowed vividly that the issue before the world to· day Is the cho1ce of on;i of two alternatives-blank despair !n t'he face · of the rapid exploitation of sclf'lntfftc discoveries to warlike purposes, or • a world organised for peace on the line s of the Kel· logg Pact. Less than SO tons, he said, of gas bombs would, 1f effectively dropned, wipe out every par· ticle of li!e over an al'ea equivalent to . that of Greater London. The only hope for the continu· llnce of civlllz-ed 11fe upon this planet lay in the creation of an internatlonal machlnerv whfch would be an eft'ective ba,r again&t those 'malignant forces of hate and fear •which sweep nations off their feet into the 11byss of chf'mlcal and mechanfcal war .~Miss Matthews is the vice·president; th e Rev W. G . .Addison secretary; Mr. R. s. Heath treasurer; and three new members of the committee are the Rev. W. W. Perrls, Mr. W. G. Gunning, and Mr. A. M. Davis (wh.o for isome years was sMretary of thA .branch). Mrs. Stanler has resigned .

The Lord, ye know, is God indeed; Without our aid he did us make; \Ve are his flock, he doth us feed, And for his sheep he doth us take. 0 enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why? the Lord our God is good; His mercy is for ever sure ; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom heav'n and earth adore, From men and from the Angel-host Be praise and glory evermore. Amen. Then shall the Minister say , the people standing : GOD SAVE THE KING. GOD SAVE THIS REALM . GOD GIVE US THANKFUL HEARTS . And all the people shall make reply with heart and voice: OD save our gracious King, Long live our noble King, God save the King ! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us ; God save the King 1

These our thanksgivings and prayers we offer and present unto thee through Jes us Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Spirit be all honour and glory, world •Nithout end. Amen. 5

Amen. Let us pray for the British Empire. i\ LMIGHTY God, who rulest in the kingdom of

n men, and hast given to our Sovereign Lord, King GEORGE, a great dominion in all parts of the earth : Draw together, we pray thee, in true fellowship the men of divers races, languages, and customs, who dwell therein, that, bearing one another's burdens, and working together in brotherly concord, they may fulfil the purpose of thy providence, and set forward thy everlasting kingdom; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be all glory and dominion, world without end .

And, we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy 6

m ercies, That our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, And that we shew forth thy praise, Not only with our lips, but in our lives; By giving up ourselves to thy service, And by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen .

\ Vhen thou had st overcome the sharpness of death: thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers. Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the Glory of the Father. \ Ve believe that thou shalt come : to be our Judge. We therefore pray thee, help thy servants : whom thou hast redeemed with t hy precious blood. Make them to be numbered with thy Saints : in glory everlasting.

Praise him ! Praise him ! Praise the everlasting King. Praise him for his grace and favour To our fathers in distress; Praise him still the same for ever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless. Praise him! Praise him ! Glorious in his faithfulness . Father-like, he tends and spares us ; Well our feeble frame he knows ; In his hands he gently bears us, R escues us from all our foes. Praise him ! Praise bim ! Widely as his mercy flo ws. Angels, help us to adore him; Ye behold him face to face ; S un and moon, bow down before him ; Dwellers all in time and space. Praise him! Praise him! Praise with us the God of grace.

The diocese of Salisbury has suffered a great loss in the death at Salisbury on Friday of the Venerable Eric James Bodington, Archdeacon of Dorset_ Only a fortnight ago the Archdeacon spoke at the diocesan .conference on the problem of providing for the increasing need s of East Dorset, to which of late he had devoted much of his time. From 191 2 to 1927 be was Archdeacon of Wilts, and then succeeded Archdeacon Dundas as Archdeacon of Dorset, a t the same time becoming Residentiary Canon of Salisbury Cathedral. As chairman of East Dorset Church Extension Committee he threw himself with characteristic vigour into the work of arousing Church people I to a sense. of responsibility for the new population which has established itself in the area around Bournemouth and Poole. A keen he had been a member of the 1, educationist, Wilts Education Committee since 1909 and had done much for religious education in elemen· tary schools. Archdeacon Bodington was born at Harborne Park, Staffordshire, in December, 1862, the son of Thomas and Mary Bodington, and was educated at Brasenose College. Oxford, , where he took a second in Lit. Hum. in 1885. Next year he was ordained, and after serving his first curacy at West Fordington, went out to South Africa as rector of Christ Church Burghersdorp, Cape Colony. His next appointment was as warden of St. Peter's Home, Grahamstown, and then, in 1894, h e returned to England as vicar of Osmington, Dorset. After Osttrington h e h eld successively the livings of Potterne and Calne, until he · was appointed Archdeacon of Dorset. He married in 1890 K a tharine Elizabeth, daughter of the R ev . H. Theodore Cavel!, vicar of Staveron, I a nd leaves one son and one daughter, who is ' the wife of the Rev. Basil Aston , vicar of l\Ielksham, Wilts . A m emorial service will be.h eld in Salisbury Cathedral to-mori;-ow at 12 noon, &.'.ld will be followed by the funeral at Oa lne Parish Church a t 3 p.m.

ARCHDEACON BODINGTON. It is long since so wide a n area has been moved to feel su ch person a l sorrow as a 111rgep ar t of ' Yil tshir e a nd Dorset h as been sm ce Sa turday by the n ews of t h e d eath of Archdea con Bodington. It ca m e so suddenl y and unexpectedly. A fortnigh t ago to-day he wa s ta lk ing with his brother clergy and m an y of his frie nd s among the l;iity at the Salisbury Diocesan Confer en ce, at which assembly he had given an account of his steward ship, to date, of the impor tant work of Church Extension in his Archdeaconry. Sh ortly after that h e became unwell, and on the Sunday his condition cau sed his family and friends som e uneasin ess. He seem ed to improve, but then became rapidly worse, a nd died on Friday night from pneumonia, the immediate cau se of death being heart failure. 'Ihe n ews becam e fairly well-known on unday, a nd there were many allusions to it in the ser vices at church es wher e, a s Archde11 con, fir st of 'Wilts a nd t hen of Dorset, he was so well-known. It is a. grievous loss to the Church in the diocese, where it will be difficult to fill h is place; it is a grievous personal lo ss to many Church m en and Church women. Eric James Bodington was a Staffordshire man by birth, being the son of Thomas and Mary Bodington, of Harborne Park. His University training was at Brasenose College, Oxford, he being Somerset sch olar a nd P hi lpott exhibitioner. H e took a second in L it. H u m. in 1885, the M.A. degree being taken i n 1889. In 1886 h ~ was ordn,Jned deacon in Sa lisbury Cathedral by Bishop John ' .Vordsworth, his priesthood follo11 ing in 1887. The whole of his ministerial ser vice in England was given in t h e diocese of his ordin ation, and it i s probable he would h ave ser ved in i t without a bre<ik but fo r reasons of h ealth, which m ade it advisable th at he should try the effect of the climate of South Africa . !{is fir st curacy \vas at 路west Fordington , which is practically a part of Dorchester, and h ere h e r em ained for three years. C;rnon Phipps, the present Vicar of D ev izes St. Peter, held a r ectory n ear, and so began a fri endship which '"as close ly renewed later in D or set, and when they simultaneously held incumbencies in Devizes or neighbourhood. In 1890 Bishop Wordsworth made hlr. Bodington his domestic c h a pl ain, but in a short time came the ,J )reak just alluded to. The young priest went out to South Africa as Rector of Chri st Church, Burghersdorp, with St. Cuthbert, Molteno, Cape Colony. In 1892 he becam e Priest V icar of Grahamstown ca thed r a l and Warden of St. P eter 's Home, Grahamstown. Thr ee or four years in the Sou t h African dimate effected t he cu re which was hoped fo r , and in 1894 }fr. Bodington returned to England and resumed work under Bishop \.Vordsworth as Vicar of Osmington, n ot far from the parish where he ha d worked as curate. At Osmington h e r em a ined for fi ve year s. Then, in 1899, on Canon Inman r etiring from the V icarage of P otterne, n ear D ev izes, the Bishop, in whose gift the livi ng is (and the pr e b~ndal s tall of Potterne is that in which

tfielJiShop has a place in the Chapter ); -presented to it Mr. Bodington . A little later he succeeded Canon Inma n as Rural Dean of Potterne. His two pa rish es of Osmington and Potterne are rural wit h urban associations, a nd in population they a r e about the same, so that when, in 1907, the Bishop found another of the livings in his gift, the Vicarage of Calne, vacant by the death of Canon Duncan, a nd ca lled on }lr . Bodington to fill i t, he was not calling to an urban parish one whose experience of rural wo rk h ad been in remote and sparsely populated districts. At Caine he took over again the duties of rural dean (of Avebury), so that h e had received a good tra ining for t he further responsi bilities that the Bishop (this t ime Bishop F r ederic Ridgeway) placed upon him by appointing him to succeed Can on Buch a nan as Archdeacon of Wilts. This wa s in 1912, and the fo llowing year h e !~ ca m e Canon, wi th the prebe nda l stall of Chardstock. Yet a n oth er change came in 1927, when Archdeacon D u ndas r ~s ig ned the wo rk he had so vigor ously carried on in Dorset. The gr eat task of Church Extension ~路equired a younger man. Bishop Donaldson tiad th e same confidence in Ca non Bodington that his two predecessors in the see had, and ca ll ed him from Wiltshire to Dorse tshir e, at the sam e time making him a resid entiary Canon. He went to live in the Cathedral Close, and en ter ed on the work of h is new Archdeaconry with a ll the energy of his nature. Then, at the end of last week, almost sudd enly, the ca 11 came to him it l'ay it dov路n. In a ll his spheres of wm a, as a parish prie t or in admin istrative offices, Archdeacon Bodington was mor e t han diligent-he wa s enthusiastic. Although not an eloq uent preacher , his delivery being halting, his Visitation Charges, his sermons at speci al services, a nd his add resses on public occasions, showed originality of thought a nd wer e always cast in good literary form . To his ministerial work he added other duties. His schola r ship qualified him as an examiner and a coach, and he wa s on the list of Extension L ectu r ers of his Un iversity . Bu t this work, of course, was in ea rlier days, when his ministerial duty a llowed him leisure. Another cogn ate task he undertook was i n co nnection with the proposed Victor ia Cou n ty History of Wilts, his pa rt, we believe, being the ind us trial hist or y . But lack of fund s caused the suspension of the sch eme for th ese Histories so fa r as Wiltshire was concerned. His zeal for education led him to accept membership of the Wiltshire Education Committee in 1907, which he con tinued even though his inter ests h ad to be centr ed in Dorset in stead of W ilts, and his work in connection with St. Mary's School for Girls at Ca lne is enl arged upon below. Amon g others who r em ember him with affection are the old members of the 2nd Vol unteer Battalion of the Wi ltshire Regiment, to whi ch for m a ny years he was Ch aplain and accompanied them in their camps. His interests in soldiers was stimulated, if it d id not begin, in his Dorsetshire days. D or ch ester is a Regimental Depot town, like D e viz~s, and Mr. B odington was as much liked by the recruits

of the Dorsetshire Regiment as h e was later by the Wil tshire Volunteers. It may be added tha t the present Cha plain to the 4th B a t ta lion Wiltshire Regiment, the. T errit orials (o r " Volunteer s " of to-day), is Ar chdeacon Bodin gton's son-in-law , t he R ev. B . Aston, Vicar of Melksh am. The Archdea con was the author of a " Short History and Exposition of. the Apostles' Creed and the first 8 of the 39 Articles," which was publish ed in 1897 with an Introduction. by the Bishop of Salisbury. In 1903 h e publis hed a sma ll pamphlet on the His ~ory of Devizes, and in 1905 a "Guide to Dev1zes and Ten Miles Round with a n extra chapter on Stonehenge." Archdea con B odington m a rried, in 1890, Katha rine E lizabeth, daughter of the Rev. H . Theodore Cavell, Vicar of t; ta verton, and leaves one son a nd one daugh ter, the lattei· the wi fe of the R ev. Basil Aston, Vicar of Melk sh a.m . who was a curate of Ca ine when the Archdeacon was Vica r there. ·we do n ot attempt an estima tion of the Archdea con's personal cha racteristics. 'l 'h at is so ably done .by several corresponden ts whose " a ppr eciations " appear below. It is worth m entioning that they a re al! sponta neou s, which in itself sh ows how the deceased h ad woven himself into the affections of those with whom his work brought him in close a ssocia t ion. We append, a lso, a more deta iled r ecord of his work •a s Vi car in his two Wiltshire parishes. · POTTERNE. Our Potterne correspondent writes : - The n e ws of the dea th of Ar chdea con B odin gton was not gen erally known in the villa ge unti l Sunday morning, when it cau sed quit e a gloom. During his eigh t years in th e p arish as Vicar , h e was much loved. Hi s kindness of heart is still spo ken of in t erms of deep affection. As a sick visitor h e was wit hout riv a l, and this withou t distinction of class or cr eed. It h as been r eca lled this week that i n 1902 a pa rishioner died suddenly , who wos a prominent Dissenter, and the Archdeacon, who was away on holiday, ha sten ed back to conduct the fun er a l cer em ony. Another m emory of his "human" sympathy is his treatment of one who wa s a notorious ne'er-do-well in the village, fr equently before the magistr a tes on the cnarge of drunkenness. Sever al t im es t he police were saved th e trouble of ar r est because th e Vicar, h earing of the man's condition , went ou t , t ook him hom e, a nd put h im to bed . Cot tage m eetings in di stant par ts of the parish wer e a fe ature of his m in istry. All his old friends join in symp athy with Mrs . Bodington a nd fa mily in their ber eavem ent. At the church services on Sunday, mo r ning and evening, the congregation stood while the Vica r (Canon W. H. K ewley) r eferred to the sa d event. In a voice tinged wit h emo t ion, h e spok e of the decea sed's good work in t h e parish, and later in the wider spher es a s Ar chdeacon and Canon Residentiary of Salisbury Cat hedral.

It W l\S in la rge measure due to him that the many additions and improvem en ts of past year s h av e been accomplished, a nd by his death St . Mary's h as sustained a sever e loss.

The fl ag on the tower wa s at half mast, and on Sunday the servi ces at the parish church were of a spec ial character, particularly that in the morning, which was taken by the Rev. T. Lunt. Appropriate hymns were sung, and at the close · Mr. Arl ett, organist, played 1.,hopin's .Funeral March, tile congregat10n sta nding while it was being played . ln th e co urse of an el oquent sermon from the text, "A man shall be as an hiding place from th e wind and a covert from the tempest," Mr. Lunt made fitting allusious to the deceased. APPRECIATIONS .

\Ve have received the following app.reciations :FROM ST. MARY'S SCHOOL. A corr esp ondent writes :-Nowhere will the deat h of Archdeacon Bodington be felt m o r e deeply than at St. Mary' s School, Caine. Founded, as the school was, in 1873, by Canon Duncan, the Archde.;i.con may i ndeed be called its second Founder. The minute book bears witness to that, and to the continual struggle h e had to fan in to life the ieeble flam e that was so often a ll t h at served to show that the school was still alive. Time after time the pr ecarious condition of the school was ai sc ussecl, time after time he r esolved to carry it on. Finally, in September , 1913, the Governors voted for the closing of the school. But the Archdeacon r efused to acquiesce in what h e felt would be an act of betrayal to tLe cause of true education in Caine, and with the gen· erous help of Mr. Dunne, and a small band of gua.r antors, h e faced t h e future afresh. And his optimism was abundantly. justified . ·with t h e coming of the \Var, the tide turned; inland schools. wher e the children would be safe from air raids, were in demand; ~t. Mary's bega n to grow, and has n ever looked back. The close connection wit h su ch a mind as the Archdeacon's could not fail to bring to the school he loved, somethin g very preciou s, vei·y What he . did for the generations ''4angibk or 1vonfirmat10n ca ndidates-so many ot th em now scattered throughout the 11 odd-will never be known; what his teaching (a nd he r arely missed a Thursday morning at t h e sc hoo~) meant to the elder and to the more thoughtful girls cannot .be m easur ed in word s. Sin ce his death letters h ave come pouring in from his "old gi rls," and their parents, aml all show the sa me affection. "I cannot te' ~ yo u h ow sad I am," writes one, " I do feel that his belief that we were all that was good an d true sha med,many of us into trying to li ve up to his s tandard. He was always so gentle and courteou s." His vital spirit left an ind elible mark on the yo ung minds "ith whom he came in contact; t hey could not fail to be influ en ced by bis sensitive lov e of beauly-the be..auty of liter a ture and of the written word (there was a certain distinction in eve ry letter h e wrote), the beauty of fair buildings (d id a nyone ever love Caine church as he loved it, or do mor e to in pire others to l ove i.t?), t h e beauty of music, the beauty of nat•· re, the beauty of holiness. All this he conv&sed to the children with whom h e wa s in cons tant con tact. And wit h t hem around him h e wa s ir r esistibly gay. H e understood youth, sympathi sed w.th 1t, was

never - " shocked "; tlia t h 11s been the secret of his influence. " Next week," he wrote, "I sha ll be wi t h you-in the ideal school." 'fhese wer e hi s la st words to u s, and what a ch a llenge they contain! It was to be other wise; wlwn the dav we had looked to see him came he h ad already passed into Lit e. liis vital sensitive spirit had been set free, as we believe for further service. It i s in that thought alone that -we can find cou rage to face the crushing blow that has befallen the school he so loved and served.-Mors Jann a Vitae. A CLER.ICAL COLLEAGUE. A North Wilts Vicar writes :-By t h e death of Archdea_;0n Boding ton th e Diocese of Salisbury and the County of Wilts loses a man who for many years has occupied a position and done a wor k that was peculiarly his own . The most ,a\uable por tion of that work was not that which falls nat ura lly to the share of the parish priest or the Archdeacon, and for that r eason it is · the more likely, perhaps, to be forgotten rir overlooked. He wa s n ot cast in the ordin ,uy ecclesiastical mould, as he often said himself, he belonged to no party in the Chur ch , and there will, therefore, be no party lamentation over his loss. But for all that th e loss is a very real one. Nowadays more than ever before, su ch men a s he are wanted to bridge the rift, "hich we are often told is widening, between the Church as a body a nd t he thinking laity who stand more or l ess apart from it. Th e zeal with whi ch he threw himself into the ca use of edu cation, secular as well as r eligions, gave r eal influence to his long membership of t he Educ;ition Committee of the Wiltshire Coun ty Counci l. It wa s felt that he was out, not merely to maintain Chu r ch schools, but to do eve r ything that was possi ble fo_r the genera l advance of education in the county as a whole. A sch olar and a thinker himself, what he said, eith er in his ser mon s, or speeches, was always good to r ea d, though as a speak er h e had n o eloqu ence, and sometimes did less than justice himself to wh a t he said ; yet secondary and elementary t eachers were willing to listen to hi s lectures and to take from him hints as to their teaching which they certainly would not have taken froin any ordinary clergym a n . St. Mary's School, at Calne, owes the position that it now holds amongst the girls' schools of England to the energy wi t h which he practicall y refoun<led it, and t h e unceasing and loving care that he lavished upon it, and many gener ations of "old girls" will bear wit n ess to their indebtedness to the sympathetic teaching of Canon Bodington. Probably nothing was n earer his heart than work of this kind . With school teach ers, indeed, the Workers' Educational Association, and ot her bodies connected with education, h is n a me counted and his advice was valued. lt may be said , perhaps, that a ll th is is no t primarily the work of a parish priest, and it is ce rtainly true that the great majority of the paroc hial clergy are not capable of such work. Yet if the Church is to retain its influen ce on the gen eral l ife of the country such work can hardly be too highly valued, and it is right t h a t i t should not be forgotten. Of his work as Vicar of Cai n e and Archdeacon of Dorset oth ers will no doubt write. Of his per sonal ch aracter it is probably true of him as of others who do n ot exadly fit in wit h any accepted standard, that those who have known him longest and most intimately find most to value in his l ife and work.

EDU-GATIONAL ASSOCIATION . Mr. Reuben George writes :-How often the words are used " To know him was to love him." Yet how truly this could be said of A1· chdea con Bodington. There are many you can admire, whose utterances you can appreciate. Some, whose line of thought is inspiring, some peculiar qud1ty marked by ce rtain influ en ces, something added to the individual, But here, it was the man! Strip him of all the association s ; take away all that was external, and then the man sta nds out in all his splen dour. \Vhen I say the word "splendour," I do so beca u se I want to convey that id ea l to the readers of the Wiltshire Gazette. I first made his acquaintan ce many years ago on the County Education Committee. I found in him S-O much that I admired. In a n endeaYour a t explanAion I shou ld say it was soul affinity. Don't mistake me; the opinions on theology of the Arc.hdeacon and myself would be as di..-erse as possibl e, and yet in aim I felt that h e lived the ide3. l that I wanted to. His appea l a lways touched a hi"h standard and love was the dominating note~ I found n'.iyself in so many ways in entire unison with him. His words wer e always so fr ee from personal feeling, and if true culture is to speak without rancour or animosity, then no life could have been more clear than his. I was always anxious to see him at th e county m eetings. One unconsciously felt that the atmosphere was bette r for the man being there. He h eld, as we all kn ow, orthodox views, yet how charitable h'e was to others. He knew that I cou ld not see the light as he saw it, but I never met with anything but true tolerance. There was no cant about this man, and h e was as fr ee from humbug as one co uld possibly be. I once h ea rd an unkind word said to him by on e who did not understand him, and I well r emember the way it was m et, an d whether the other gentl eman was fully aware or not, he soon r ealised that th e Archd eacon was a gentleman. It wa s many years ago that h e first cam e and addressed the Swindon branch of the \Yorkers' Educational Association, and from the time he t ook the platform till now, when we h eard of hi s death , we could truly say " Re was one of us ." I mean in t his way , a nd h e wou ld like it to be so: that our worke r s wou ld n e1·e r ask about his theology, hi s pos ition in t h e Church, his social or educational place. Kot a bit of it. Archdeacon Bodington was truly "one of u s," and all felt they wer e in full association with him. On another occasion h e _cam e h er e _and went with us to Dra ycot Fohat. a few mil es from Swindon. This Yillage once had a church. The people for centur ies vi ited and worshipped in tha t littl e edi fi ce. Marriages were celebrated; christenings took pla ce ; they knelt at Communion ; th e la st rite;, were_ h eld as, with feelings of sorrow, they ea rned the old parishioner s from th e churcll to the litt le graveyard n ea rby. 'Vlrnn the Ar chdeacon came not a vestio-e of the old chur ch 0 r ema ined, not a stone stood n ear to t ell of the de!?a rted , not a mound was raised to say that t his ground was hallowed with th e dust of on e who had ]iYed in the a n cient village a nd h ad passed on. All was gone. But the Ar chd eacon sta nding on the spot 11·here once stood the a ltar, poured out a m essage that will n eve r be forgotten , a m essa ge calling from the past to the future. Draycot Foliat church , that had Jon" been forgot~en, liv~d :::gain to t ell its story and to pass on its aspirations to other days. This man lound a way to the h earts of all. t>everal times we came to Caine and we n ever came too often. On one or two occa sions he told us of the wonderful _biography of the old

borough, of tbe men who-ruurll"OOt here, of the politicians who h ad bee n elected for tha t bit of old England, of the great scholars and s,ta tesmen , and the achievements that came from there, of the scientists, and poets, of Wordsworth and Coleridge, and so much that belonged to th e Caine of the past. How our people a lw ays fini shed up in the church, how they liked to h ear the great thoughts and the teachings. One said to me once, that whateYer else the Ar chdeacon mi ssed, h e n ever mi ssed prayer, and th e opinion of mv friend was that the fin est prayers that he had heard came from the Ar chd eacon . Don' t think this ful some flatte r y. This was true. Hi s audience wa s m ad e up of m en and women, m ost of them. from the Swind on Railway vVorks, m en and wom en who lo1·ed si mple truth , and it wa s thi tha t stirred the Archdeacon to an eloquence in praye r that we did n ot fi nd elsewher e. On a nother occasion we visited Bowood ; he was our guide, and th e time he put in and the address he gave and then the esco rt back to Caine wi t h another service in the chu rch, made a m em or y t ha t none can eve r forget. He wa s, indeed, splendid , and whoeYer the man or woman might be, they fe lt that in the presence of the Ar chd eacon h er e 11·as Oil'e who, wh en h e talk ed of hea ven , h e certa inl y led the way . On one occasion I went with some scho olchildren t o Salisbury after he had r emoved there. He deep ly r egretted h e could not be at the Cathedral to be their guide; that another m eetin" which h e was attending, would not r el ease hi~ till later. But wh en h e was r eleased, after t ea and before the m otor s return ed, h e mad e his a ppeara n ce a nd ever y ch ild and t ea cher felt the gra sp of hi~ hands and heard words of love and kindness Good Ar chdeacon ! Can one then wvnder that, when the timt. came to . leave Caine, he had found such a

warm place in the h earts of his fellow s · that I wa s a uthori sed to arrange motors · t~ take the ,V.E.A. on the Sunda y to hi s far ewell services? Men and women, of all churches and none, they bow ed wi t h their dear o ld fri en d in prayer. _H e is gone, h e bas passed on, but never can his name a nd hi s life close. It wa s for love that he liv ed, and though my theology ca n ne.-er be as hi s, I feel that if ever a m"n foll owed truth it was h e. Farewell, old comr ade! Your life wa s 11 ..111 lived, and we fo llow on, be hind it m ay be, but the better m en and women for kno1Ying you. CALNE SCHOOL TEACHERS. Doubtless many tributes will be p aid to the work of the late Archdeacon B od in"ton in larger and , it may be, more impor taant ~pheres, but in none can it be paid with gr eater love and gratitude tha n by those 11·ho worked wi th him in the Churc h schools of Caine. He spoke sometimes of th e tea ching office of t he Chur ch , but i t was by his deeds that h e tau ght us what the office m ea nt to him .

From his thousand and one du ties a nd scanty rest and leisure he dragged the time to give lessons to senior classes in three elementary sc:;;h:..:o:..:o:..:il::. s..;e::..v:.;e::..r:,_,,_·-'--- - --

"eek. He was regu ar and punctual, and it was a hard ca use which prevented his coming. Many boys and gir ls will r emember his Old 'l'estament lessons, "hen mu ch of their schooling is forgotte n.

He ga ,-e lectures on literary an d hi storica l su bjects in other bui ldings. T hose who hea rd him will not soo n fo rget his r eading of passages a nd the gift of humour which he broug ht to some of his interpretations. His enthus iasm wa s a m azing.

'l'he following editoria l reference appeared in the County Notes of the Gazette: The ways of " Provid en ce " are indeed inscrutable . Hum anly speaking, the death of Ar chdeacon Bodington is a disaster for the work of the Church in the diocese of Salisbury, and one cannot but wond er that h e should be so suddenly removed. To him was committed a special task-that of Church Extension in south-east Dorset, into which the population from the ever-gro1i-ing Bournemouth area has come, and is still coming, like a flood. At no time is Church Extension easy. It means the r aising o.f large fund s , which in this case is exceptionally difficult. In "\Yilts and Dorset there a r e no wealthy merchants like those who come forward in industria l dioceses and put down their thousands. But Archd eacon Bodington accepted t.he office when the Bishop selected him as the man for it, with a ll its worrying respon sibilities, e xchanging for it the comparatively non-anxious duties of Archdeacon of Wilts. Only a fortnight ago he was telling the Diocesan Conferen ce how far the scheme had progressed, its encouragements and its special di fficulties, and it seems tragic that in less than a fortnight afterw~rds his body is la id in the grave. I t is a trite refl ection-How little did anyone who heard and conversed with him then think of even the possibility of that which has happened . To the writer of this Note he talked with enthusiasm of the address that \YaS given by B ishop Palmer on the Unity of Christendom. It 'ms natural that, a cholar of hi s own College (B.N .C.) , he should recall that the Bishop. was a scholar or Balliol, and speak of his fine scholarship. But it " 路as Dr. Palmer 's eloquent plea for Unity that appea le d to him , for. of the most loyal of Churchmen, his sympathies were broad and generous. With this journ al Archdeacon Bodington was on cordial terms from the time he came to P otterne, all through his stay in Caine, and s ince he had been living in Salisbury . No manuscript was more familiar to the printers than his, of hi s Visitation Charges and, in many cases, of 4is sermons. It may be men tioned, now , that the last to appear, the smmon he preached in Salisbutry cathediral on the occasion of the Th anksgiving for the King' s restoration to hea lth, was published in the Gazette because he wished to once more get, if on ly indirectly, in touch with h is old fri.ec_nds in this part of Wiltshire. To repeat, the ways of " Providence " are inscrutable ; it seems as if the work of Church Extension may have had a serious check in its critical initial stages . But the \Yays of " Providence" are a lso wi se. It may be that the d eath of him who was charged with it will stim ulate the Church people of the diocese-including those of his old Archdeaconry, to whom he had appealed in a le tter in our columns-to efforts and to liberality to a degree that his living voice would not have don e. May it be so . It would be his fitting memorial.

G ._.: c.-f.__;, ~ J ~o._{) ;VCh/ . (. CATHEDRAL REFERENCES. During his sermon a.t the mornh~g service a.t the Cathedral, on . Sunday, Ca.n.,on FLETCHER m~de sympathetic refer ence to the late ;\Pcqdea.con Bodington, who, he said, only completed his term of residence for the year a.t the end of the la.st month. T4e cha.rm of his manner ha d endeared him to many. From the days of his boyhood Archdea.ci:m Bodington had been accustomed to Cathedral serviollS, for he was educated at the choir school at Hereford, although he was not a. chorister. He (Canon Fletcher) had more than once heard him say how much he owed to the school, &nd he knew how prDud the school was of the Archdeacon. At Oxford he was a pupil-he was not sure he W&!I not a favourite pupil--0f Bishop Wordsworth, who at that time was one of the tutors at Brasenose College. With the exception of a.bout three years which he spent in South Afric&-a. part of the time be~ng spent as priest-vicar of Graha.mstown Cathedral, under Bishop Webb, afterwards the much loved and much honoured Dean of Salisbury-the whole of his ministerial life was spent in the. Salisbury diocese, first as .fil lVJ!!~ fQL~stQqz s.~urb _2f Do:ch_e ster, I ~m"!'~~ theii as vlc&l' ol ()sminglOn on his return h'om Africa, and later, before coming to Salisbury two years a.go, in the Wiltshire parishes of Potterne and Caine. It was not to be wondered a.t that a. man of his learning and literary bent should be a. keen educa.tionist, ~nd his work as one of the Ox.ford University Extension lecturers, and his position on the Wilts County _Education Committee bore ' their t estimony to this. He (Canon Fletcher) wa.s told, too, by thos? who o?'ght t6 know, that it wa.s in no sma.11 degree owing to his '111'.ork and influence tha t St. Mary's School a.t Ca.lne was raised to its present position. The Cathedral music was v~ry dear to him. Frequently they must have seen _h~, before the service commenced, ready robed, within the choir listening to the prelude played upon the orga n; or, again, remaining b ehind at the cl~se, so that he might catch the strains of the concluding voluntary. Yet he was not sure that the Archd~con's heart was not more in his archdeaconry than m the Cathedral. Perhaps, as it was the county where his first curacy and his first incumbency had been, Dorset was especially d ear to him. And so it was his delight to go from one parish to another in Dorset, both as the Oculus Episcopi, and that he might be able to len<_l a helping hand to some parish priest who ~ working alone in a.n isolated district. He was keenly mterested, too in the work of the Ea.st Dorset Church Extension Co~mittee, of which he was chairman, and on behalf of which he spoke at the Diocesan Conferenee some ten or eleven da.ys ago. But to his (Ca.non Fletcher's) mind some of the Archdeacon's best work was t~t of his pen, of which, alas, all too little had seen the light ; he was not speaking so much of his brochures and articles on Wiltshire local history, or of his "Short History of the Apostles' Creed," whicb latter work indeed he (the preacher) had not seen: Perha.p~ the most charming bits in the biography of . BIShop Wordsworth were written by Archdeacon Bodington l

'掳.

whil8t his "G with us,' a iimes of devotioJial Ml· dresses to educated young ladies, deserved much praise, and had been described as being " almOllt inspired." A volume which he had in hand, and of which portions had been given in sermons from the Cathedral pulpit, was not llllfficiently advanced to be published. Now his work on earth was over, an.d he was at rest from his labours. They commended him to the loving keeping of the Saviour, and their sympathy and prayers were with those who were so dear to him, and to whom he wa.s so dear. Might the souls of the faithful, by the m ercy of God, rest in peace. TRIBUTE BY SUB·DEAN FARRER.

At the nave ser v ice a.t the Cathedral, in the evening, Sub-Dean FARRER said h e could not begin his sermon without paying a very sympathetic and sincere tribute to the m emory of their dear brother and friend, Eric .Ta.mes Bodington, Archdeacon of Dorset, and Ca.non Residentia.ry of the Cathedra l, who passed a.way on Friday evening after a very brief illness, and whose r emoval had filled them all with a sense of real BOi;TOW and loss. Only a fortnight ago at the a~ernoon service he preached a. v ery thoughtful sermon to them on " Self·restraint " when h e s eemed in excellent spirits, and particularly well in bodily health. Indeed one b elieved and hoped that h e ha.d many yea.rs of useful life and work before him. Personally, they were intimate friends of very long standing, hav ing known ea.ch other from their curate day s, more than 40 yea.rs ago. In the year 1890 Eric Bodington went out to South Africa, wher e h : did really good work for the church in the dioceses of Cape Colony and Grahamstown. On his return , in 1894, Bishop Wordsworth, who had a. v ery high opinion of his ability and worth, presented him to the living of Osmington: in Dorset, mov ing him shortly aft erwards to the parish ol Potterne, and in 1907 p resenting him to the v icarage of Caine, one of the m ost important centres of Church life in the diocese. Ther e h e was absolutely happy. H e loved the place, h e loved the grand old church, and h e lov ed the p eople , and it s eemed absolutely prop er and right that his body should r est for the !;\st night b efore it was committed to t h e grave in that church that he lov ed with such a real and t ender love. In 1912 h e was made Archdeacon of Wilts. F or 15 years the clergy of his archdeaconry ev er felt they had in Eric Bodington a truly kind and sympath et\c friend as well as a strong man whose adv ice they could follow. T wo and a half years a.go the present Bishop mov ed him to the Cathedral to b e one of the four R esidentiary Canons, appointing h im a t the same time Archdeacon of Dorset . None ex cept his closest fri ends know how great the wrench was at h a ving to leave Caine , wher e h e had spent 20 int ensely happy y ea.rs, and to say farewell to his Wilts archdeaconry. However, he threw himself with energy and zeal into his n ew work , a.nd no doubt the v ery strenuous effort to g et into touch with his n ew archdeaconry must have lower ed h is vitality , for only a few, d ays of illness m a.d e it apparen t to those who were wa t ching round his b ed tha t the end wa.s com ing. During those days of illness h e wa s wonderfully conscious. Indeed h e was conscious right on to a. few minu t es b efor e h e passed in to t h e unseen. He h :i.d no fe:;.rs for himself. All wa.s p eace, perfect peace, for he leaned by faith upon the strong arm of the Saviour Whom he had loved a.nd Whom h e had tried to serve for many yea.rs. His one anxiety blended with a very real sorrow, wa.s to leave h er who had b een so dear to him for so many yea.rs in life. But he assured her almost to the v ery end that it would not be for v ery long, a.nd that he would be waiting and watching for h er . • Thus h e went fl."om a home of love on earth to one of peace and joy above. They saw Eric Bodington at his very best in ~is home where on many occasions in the past he (the preacher) was a welcome guest. He was so bright, so light·

hauted, with a real 981188 of humour tW 9D8 -..ed back with the happiest of memories to ~ .......... Now he was gone, but they could thank God b .Iida life, his work and the witness that he was allowell f.4t give for God. So they might think of him that night safe home, · " Life's journey run, Life's work well done, Life' s v,ictory won, Safe home at last."

路 The following minute was passed at the Governor~$ meeting on October 26th, 1929. The Venerable Archgeacon E.J.Bodington. The Governors have at this meeting heard with very deep sorrow of the death at Salisbury last night of their old friend and Colleague Archdeacon Bodington. Nowhere will he be more sincerely mourned or missed than in St. Mary's School, which for close 路upon 25 year& has formed one ~f the chief interests of his work and of his life, and to which he has devoted his constant care路 and affection. During the first few years of his Ministry in Calne, 'the prospects of the School remained a constant s:ource of uncertainty, and the possibility of its surviving the lean years, when it could not pay its way, caused much anxiety as to its future to those interested in the School. But to Archdeacon Bodington the problem never involved a doubt. The School was a part of his Ministry - and the School must succeed. He loved the young, and he loved the ideal of the upbringing of the young in the peaceful surroundings which he had been instrumental in obtaining for the School, and in the faith of the Church of which he was a Minister. And succeed it did - His confidence, and love, and prayer have received their full reward in the School as it is to-day. As it grew in size and importance, the personal responsibility of the Archdeacon increased correspondingly, and he had often felt that it was necessary for its future well being that its constitution should be based on some more permanent and extended basis, and that the duties which he had for so long carried out on his sole responsibility should be shared by others. His desire has now been effectuated in the present Scheme and Constitution of the School, of which of oourse the .Archdeacon remained one of the Governors. In this year, and in this month all the preliminary and necessary arrangements have been completed, by which the care and government of the School have been transferred by him to the present Body of Governors, and to-day, at this meeting bhe

final faot was to be announced and recorded that the transfer was now complete in all its details. His long rest has come to him just as he had passed on to others the oare and advancement of the wonderful work which he had loved , and done so well himself. It is to the Governors a source of intense sorrow that they can no longer count upon the wisdom and advice and help of so valued a colleague. But the personal loss transcends all others. The School and the Governors will long mourn a much loved friend, and a most endearing and attractive personality. The uovernors desire that their deepest sympathy be conveyed to Mrs Bodington and her children in the grievous sorrow which has befallen them.

AiteHDEACON BODINGTON.

El'ic Jame~ Bodington was tbe most lovable of men. The secret of his attract,iveness is no t easy to describe, even for those who, like tbc present writer, have known bim al I, or nearl y all, their Ii ves. He had an abundance of natu ra l a ffection, an ever-ready flow of sympathy and a deligh tful sense of humour. Never very robust, "there was always" abo ut him "a sort; of wistful anxiousness which was just not a nxiecy." Yet; be had to the full qualities which go to make up real strength of character, unsparing devotion to duty, keen intellectual interests and a widt,h of view that drew to him men of the most different types and ages. H e was gifted with a genius for friendship. Though no t literally a son of our Diocese, fo r he was born at Harborne, Birmingham, he was bred among us ; his early home, of the influences of which he loved to talk, was in Dorset and his school was Milton Ab bey. I t was as a scholar of Brasenose College, Oxford, t hat be came in touch with the personal ity which was destined, more than any other, to shape both his mind and his future, t hat of the late Bishop Wordsworth. Through the Bishop's influence, after taking his Degree with high honours in "Greats," he sought Holy Orders at Salisbury and accepted a title at West Fording. ton under Canon Sanct,uary. Soon after his Ordination he had a serious illness, but the prompt action of his doctor and the kindness of Bishop Webb, then of Grahamstown and afterwards our Dean, averted the danger and he returned to us, after four years in South Afr ica, completely restored. â&#x20AC;˘

Before he left England he made an ideally haopy marriage with Miss K atharine Cavell and with her he returned to fi ve years of delightful From 189 9 to 1927 Wilt1rnrk at Osmington. shire claimed him, as Vi car first at Potterne and then of Calne, during which time he was also Chaplain to Lord Lansdowne. He knew and loved t he Wil tshire people and they loved him in retarn . Honours came to him in due course. He was R ural De<tn of P otterne and later of Avebury. In 1912 he was rnade Archdeacon of Wilts and in 1913 Prebendary of t he Cathedral ; but, as those who knew him were well aware, no rank or distinction could weigh with him in comparison with the love of hi s people ; for he was, above all things,_ a true hear ted Pastor of the Flock of Chri st. As Vicar of Calne and Archdeacon, he welded , with char acteristic modesty, a really strong influence over all sections of the comm unity. T he Parish of Calne wi th its historic memories of his great predecessor, S. Edmu ndÂˇ, fo r whom he always felt a personal devotion, t he life of the countryside which he genuinely lov~d, th e friendshi ps which he made with men and women of all classes were ever to him most precious. Two years ago, at the bidding of the Bishop, he undertook to succeed Canon Dundas as Archdeacon of Dorset, becomi ng also Residentiary Canon of t he Cathedral. At once he th rew himself with the utmost enthusiasm into the immense task of provi<ling for the spirit?al needs of the' huo-e population which is floodrng the south-easte~n corner of the Diocese, but never for a momeut did he forget the needs of â&#x20AC;˘ the rural part of his charge. The amount of work which he crowded into the last two years was truly amazing, yet he nev~r allowed_ his devotion to his Archdeacomy to mterfere e1th er with his service to t he Cathedral or with t he intellectual side of his life ; his interest in the classics was still keen ; he found time to keep in touch with his College, where bi s visits strencrthened old friendships arid started new ones'." his educational work was still maintained , not least that which be did at t he request of the Educational Commit.tee of the Wilts County Council - he was always at his best among teachers' and children. In earlier life he had written " A short history of the Apostles' Creed and Articles 1-8," and more recently a devotional study entitled "Go~ with us.''. He had another book in preparation at the t11ne of his death. Bnt, alas, the strain of it all proved too great. A singularly happy holiday was followed ~ week's suffering patiently borne and . at I Aa p.m. on Friday, October 25th, m perfect calm

and unshaken faith, his Spiri t passed, "looking for the mercy of God unto Eternal Life." The Memorial Service held in tb e Cathedral at noon to-day was trnly inspiring and elo.q uent of t he affect.ion felt for him in Salisburv and in Dorset. This afternoon his body was l;tid to rest at Caine amid the love and homage of his Wilts hire people. The heartfelt sympathy of the whole Diocese and of innumerable friends beyond it goes out to those nearest and dearest to him in their sore bereavement. " He rests fro m his labours and his works do follow him.'' October 29 th, 1929.

An old custom which had almost become exti nct was r evived on Thursday evening at ~t. : Mary's School, when tbe Principal (Miss Matthews), the staff and members of the school entertained a number of llessr s . Blackford and · son's ( buildei·s) employees to a ·concert and dinner. Hecently, further additions and impro,'ements have been made to the school, and it was in apprecia tion of tbe excellent manner in which the work was cai;riea out that Mis s Maltthews decided to entertain those responsible for it. Mr. \\r. Rudman, M.C., .A.R.I.B.A . (architect). Mr. H . Blackford (builder), and Messr s . W. Butler, J. Carter (foreman ), and about thirty employees who had been engaged on the work, were present. ' The member s of the school ·f ir st ga".e an excellent entertainment, including exhibitions of physica l drill, gymnastics, a nd dancing. At the close of the enterta inment Miss Matthews made a speech tbanking Mr. Rudman foi:- the way in which the building was planned, a 11ll Messr s. Bla ckford and .13on and their employees for t h e manner in which the work wa~ executed, which reflect ed . the . greatest credit upon all concerned. )Iiss Matthews then gave some interesting det a ils of the scholars' work, and pa rticularly impressed upon her gues t s the value of the phys ical training t h ey h a'. d witnessed to the young scholar s. ~h e thought i t ought t o be m a de compulsory for every school in the country to undertake this training, a s its good efiect could not be over es~i mated. At the conclu sion of Miss Matthew's speech, the m embers. of the school gave three hearty cheers for then· gu~s ts. Mr. Rudman r esponded. thanking Miss Matthews for h er complimenta ry rema rks abou t the building. llr. tilackfoi;cl a cknowledged h er· kin d r ema1·k s on behalf of his firm and of the employees who wer e being so splendidiv ·entertained .

A photogra ph of pai·t of the work wa s presented to ea ch man, awl t he inenu cards , which h ad be en nicely prepared, wer e t a ken a way as m em en t os of t h e occa sion. After dinner, th e p a rty joined tlte scholars in t h eir ch apel for the ·u sua l short evening service.

THE SHAKESPEARE COM.PETITION.

It has been more difficult tpan ever to judge this year, for though the standard has risen throughout, the better ones are not so good as they have been, and there has be en no outstanding performance. VB .win the Sir John Hindley cup for a very intelligent, dignified interpretation. They gain the first place partly because of their power to hold the audience - the interest was sustained throughout. Though there was little opportunity of by-play, what there was was excellent. D.Duder as King Richard, played a very difficult part with great restraint. There were three words mispronounced. Other deserving commendation are N.Chase as Aum.erle, E.Mansergh as Northumberland, P.Clarence as the Queen and S.E.Lawrence as the Gardener. A Westaway as Bolingbroke was rather disappointing, as she was not so clear as the others, and rather too fast. H. Ward as the Bishop of Carlisle was inclined to be too woodden. Remove win the Junior cup for throwing themselves so wholeheartedly into their scene. There was not a dull moment,all the by-play was so good - M.Fry as Snout deserves high commendation. Not a detail had been neglected, especially in preparing to face the Duke. They were word perfect. A Wood as Hottom was very good, as was also D.Leveson as Quince . \

Vl chose a very difficult scene, and,largely because of the lack of opportunity for action, . failed to grip their audience. The scene felt rather lifeless, though stately and intelli gent. There were no outstanding performances, except for M.Goodden as King Philip, who is commended for her enunciation, and H. Moilliet as P~, who gave a subtle interpretation of a very difficult part ... . . . ~~Shipley, as King John, did not lose herself sufficiently, and u.F.Jones, as Blancht,was rather inaudible. lVA & lVB are bracketed together for a very good performance. lVA. are commended for their grouping, for their restraint, and for their very clear enunciation, all were good in this, with the exception of l:t'. Moilliet. W. Hef:!th, as Bot tom, was very clear. 'l'he details were well thought out, even to the music, while the prologue was especially well written. There were two prompts.

c..e

lVB P. Reade, as Hottom, was outstanding. M.Long is commended for her good by-play. B.Aldrick, as Quince, was very good. P. McCormick, as ·J.·itania, was rather lacking in life, as was A. ~ettelfield as Puck. There were two prompts. Upper V Their prologue was not up to standard, and though there were some outstanding performances - D.~hamp a in as Valentine, and J.ttughes as Launce, - the level was rather low throughout. \ ~ -,.,_

)

•

Arts & Crafts chose far too difficult a scene in the Church Scene; the gestures were forced, and the interpretation poor. ~he Dogberry scene was rather better.

DaVIs, of Christ church, Bath, the very ca pable org:anist, were all heard to great aclval!tage in Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise," which made up the fi;st half of the programme, and also most of the miscellaneous items, which formed the second pnrt of the programme. 'l'aking. the latter part firs t: Mr. Davis played w_1th great tas_te and perfection, two organ solos, the first the Sonata, Op. 28 (Elgar), and the ~econd Fugue in G by Gounod. The co ntnbuhons. of Mr. D. Morgan J"ones, the tenor soloist, m this part, were "Be thou faithj",ul unto cleat]~" (Mendelssohn's St. Paul) .and How many hu:ecl se1·vants" (Sulli"rnn), whilst the soprano, Miss P1fine de la Cote sang "0 Divin~ ~ecleemer" (Gounod) and "Ave Maria" bv Lmg1 Jjnzz1. )fr. E_. Bonner, of Trowbridge, played a cello solo with grea.t expression an "Ancl'.lnte," '?Y Goltermann, besides 'contributing a dehghtful obligato to the tenor solo "Be · thou faithful unto death." Mr. Maurice Alexander, of Bristol, is well known in the West. as an exponent of the violin, and he conti:1buted two gems, played with the most exqms1te taste and refinement "Air on G String" (l:lach) and the beautif{.l -b ut difficult "Preghiera" of Bazzini. His performan ce throughout the evening, in solo and orch estra, was mdeed masterly. The "Hymn cf Praise,'' or "Song of Praise," was first perfo»med1 at th e historic church of ::;t. Th_omas,_ JJeipzig, in Jun e, 1840, and a little later m this country at Birmingham. It is not oratorio, b_ut_ a symphony for chorus and orchestra,_ consi-sbng of three symphonic movements. w h1ch follow each ot h er without pause, to winch are added 12 choral and solo numbers. The text is from the P salms and the whole of it, vocal and instrumental is founded on the words "Let.. everytliin"' that hath breath praise _the Lord." Pirst the instruments praise m their ·way and then the chorus and solo voices fol~ow suit. 'l'he orchestration is rapid and requires ta_ste an~ skill, and the Society were fortunate m havmg such ca pable instrumentalists, including Mr. Maurice Alexander and ~frs, Dan C?llen, of Chippenham, not to mention Mr. Davis_ at the very beautiful organ. who performed with great skill the difficult rol'! of !'ll~plying missing parts in the necessarily hnuted orchestra. Prom the opening Sinfonia, which was very well played, to the concludmg chorus, the note of exultation was dominant anq progressively so as the Cantata proceeded to its close. The chorus gave -a good account . of the~selves .. although weight was necessarily lackmg a l1ttlc, especiall y in the great ¥inale. 'J'.he men ~·s Y?ices came· through splendidly and it was gratifying to hear such a strong tenor part. The altos were weak but even tl1ey in the less vigorous choruses inade themselves h~ard effectively. All the choruses were sung with taste and spirit. whfrh r eflPcts great credit on the oonductor, Mr. "\V. R. Pnllein, ~ho ~as been cc_mn~te<l with the Society erer smce its ~ormahon 1_n 1886. Incidentally. it may be mentioned that it was a well desen ·ed compliment to him to close the miscellaneous part _of the p_rogramme ~.-ith an original composthon of his own, nameh, the popular and well-known XYT. Century Pra~•e1-, sung kneel inir and without accompaniment.

Moreo,;t>r, her voice blen~ed perft>ctl~· with th" voice of the tenor ,~ol o1st, Mr. D. Morgan Jones, in the dnet, :lly song i;hall he always of Thy mercy." Mr•. Addison, a member of the chorus, sang with great taste and power the Aecond soprano part in " I waited for the Lord." Mr. D. Morgan Jones, from the Roval College of Music, is a new comer to Caine and everyone was delighte~ _with his singing'. He l1As not a soft and 111s1_p1d tenor voice . .but one of nat~ual power and excellent quality.
