243 LESSON. St. Matthew II, 1-12. CAROLS. Old English Choir—" Good King Wenceslas " Full—" Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning " P H S (Collection in aid of the Lord Mayor's Christmas Cheer Fund for the Unemployed.) Doxology—" 0 come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant " 18th Century " An Evening Prayer of Alcuin." The Blessing. Old Yorkshire Recessional—" "Wassail Song " This year an effort had been made to give the congregation a still greater share in the singing, and, by the omission of redundant verses, to include a few more carols than on previous occasions. The most welcome feature of the service itself was the presence of so many Old Peterites and friends of the School. The large congregation made the most of its opportunities, and, apart from a couple of instances of false intonation, the choir sang with a good tone and responded well to the beat when singing unaccompanied. F. Buckler sang Vaughan Williams' little cradle song with the simplicity it requires, and a special word of praise is due to M. P. L. Wall, who was in sole charge of the organ : he handled it with skill and good judgment throughout. We must also congratulate Mr. Sykes on the choice and arrangement of such a pleasing selection of carols, and the work he put in with the choir. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL CHAPEL. SUNDAY, MARCH 3rd, 1935.
