S. JAMES SICK AND BURIAL CLUB.
The anniversary of this club was observed on the Monday in Whitsun week, June 5th. There was a good attendance of members at School in the afternoon, and the walk down to Church showed that the club keeps up its numbers. The Service consisted of part of the of Evening Prayers; Hymns 297, 85, and a Sermon by the Vicar, from I C. xii. 4. After service, the division of the surplus funds, which comes round every third year, took place, and full members received their several shares. 103 members carried away division money, which varied in sums from £3 3s. to 3s. 6d. There are 123 members on the books.

THE CHORAL FESTIVAL
The festival day. Thursday, June 15, opened with clear signs of untoward weather, which were verified by a plentiful fall of rain during morning and afternoon. If the drive over was moist, it was at least not dusty and those who braved the weather (and there were few not in this number) were rewarded with a beautiful evening by the time practice was over. The usual arrangements were observed. After practice, down to tea, which was laid out—thanks to Mrs. Palmer’s kindness in the beautiful grounds of Newland House. The Church very tastefully decorated with an abundance of choice flowers. The service was rendered with heartiness and reverence, and a marked improvement showed itself in precision and softness of singing. An excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. E. Machen, of Eastbach Court from 2 Samuel iv 24, on the duty of offering to God that which costs us something. The prayers were intoned by the Rev. H. Hoitt, and the Lessons read by the Rev. H. L. Parry and the Rev. J. J. Trollope. Mr. Johnson, Organist of Clearwell, played the organ; and the singers were led by the choirmaster, Mr. Brind. The choirs numbered 140 members. The collection amounted to £6 6s. Great regret absence of the Rev W. Smith, Vicar of Newland, who was away by the sudden death of a brother.

HOME MISSIONS.
The Rev. J. J. Coles, Deputation of the Additional Curate’s Society, will preach a sermon in aid of Home Missions, on Wednesday evening July 19th, in S. James Church, Bream. Those who hold box society are requested to bring them to the Vicarage before that to wait, after the service on the 19th, to receive them back Coles, who will also give other boxes to those who may require them. This society takes under its wing the neglected masses of large cities and out-of-the-way districts in country places, and tries to provide clergy for them. It is well worthy of support. There will be a Collection at the service.
