    The Choir Practice is continued during the darker half of the year, and, being conducted very often by the Superintendent is a most valuable aid to the efficiency of our Services. Special Chapel Services have been held on Good Friday and Christmas Day with Sermons, on one Sunday as a Harvest Festival; and the appointed one to commemorate Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. These Services, besides the usual Great Days and bi-monthly Litany Services, are all intoned as a change from the ordinary. I take particular care to prepare lists of the Communicants and submit them to the Superintendent, so that in the result the Celebrations are marked by decorum and devotion. Finally I have a strong hope, built now on long experience, that the varied means which fall to my share aid largely in the great w7ork in which we are all engaged,—the cure of as many as it shall please God so to bless, and the comfort, edification, and well-being, spiritual and temporal, of all our patients. I am, my Lord and Gentlemen, Faithfully your obedient Servant, ALFEED BOND, Chaplain. Powick, December 31st, 1897.
