line of successful Templites who have gone on to higher things. We wish them well in their respective circles. We also lost to J. F. Bilsborough, who has, it seems, taken the first step to becoming 008. We wish him more luck than usual!

The Easter Term began, as so often in the past, with the Epiphany Procession in the Minster. Familiarity with this wonderful service seems only to increase the impact of the dramatic way in which it illustrates the theme of Christ's light coming into the lives of men who have not known Him.

Lent had some points of special interest this year. As always in the past the most important event was the Confirmation. The Bishop of Selby most kindly came to take the service for us on Thursday, 18th March. This time the preparation classes were taken by age groups instead of by houses and this method seems to have been appreciated by the candidates.

The readings at the daily services in Lent were taken not from the Bible but from a modern Christian writing, C. S. Lewis'What Christians believe." The Compline Services on Wednesday evenings were attended by an average of between 40 and 50 boys each time, and we were most grateful to Mr. Pemberton, Mr. Craven and Mr. Mair who gave the talks and to Mr. Waine, who gave the address at Evensong on Ash Wednesday. We are grateful, too, to the Head of School, the Chapel Monitor and the Head of The Manor, who conducted the services so well.

The performance of Part II of Handel's "Messiah" is mentioned elsewhere. There could hardly have been a more suitable choice for Lent than this Part, for it speaks of the whole tragedy of man's sin and of God's action to bring us into a right relationship with Him.

It is difficult to realise that Mr. Jones will no longer be with us. We in St. Peter's have greatly valued his help with our services and the continued interest he has taken in the Olavites who have moved on to the Senior School. We thank him and Mrs. Jones most warmly for all they have done and wish them great happiness at Kelly College.
