O[rgan]. – Small and ordinary at the East end.  It was well played.

H[ymns]. – A. & M., a nice selection.

C[hoir]. – Two men and ten boys without cassocks, and dirty surpliced.  The singing was rather good.  It was, in fact, a treat of gregorian singing.

S[ermon]. – We didn't stop.

M[iscellaneous]. – The pew-opener (female) was the most enthusiastic of persons and found seats and the places for people.  She run in the street because of the boys outside, too.  And lent me a Plain-song Book.
