    and many expressions of their gratitude for the kindness and treatment accorded to them during their stay in this admir¬ able institution were received. THE CHAPLAIN. The Board of Management deeply regret the resignation of the Rev. A. H. Browne, D.D., from the office of Chaplain, which he had held since 1915, but at the same time congratulate him upon his appointment to the Bishopric of Bermuda. Dr. Browne rendered invaluable service to the Hospital, and as a small token of their appreciation a cheque, subscribed by members of the Board, was presented to him on his retire¬ ment. The Board are happy to report that they have obtained the services of the Rev. Prebendary E. N. Sharpe, M.A., Vicar and Rural Dean of Paddington, to fill the vacancy caused by Dr. Browne’s resignation. Prebendary Sharpe took up his duties on All Saints’ Day, 1925. Besides his staff at St. James’s, the Rev. H. L. Bothamley and the Rev. S. W. Howe, the following Clergy have kindly rendered help in the visitation of the wards and in the conduct of the Ward Services :— The Revs. Canon Burton, R. W. Odell, J. Evans, E. Chapman, W. Stanley and A. d’Albertanson. The Chapel Services on Sunday mornings at 10 o’clock have been well attended, and the Sunday evening Services are much appreciated. On Christmas Day there were over 120 communicants, 74 of whom were ministered to in the wards. On the Sunday evening after Christmas the Choir of St. James’s Church, Paddington, sang carols in the wards, and their visit gave much pleasure to the patients. The Chaplain is very grateful to the Lady Visitors and to the band of friends who come and sing on Sunday evenings in the various wards.
