This is Christmass [sic] Eve. […] It was not Evening Prayer but a mission service with Hymns, Sermon, Acts of Faith etc. and a fine procession of choir and people etc. round. […] O[rgan]. – Small, good, well played. […] H[ymns]. – A. & M. and Carols provided for all. C[hoir]. – Large, good and capitally behaved. We couldn't stop for the carols at the end. [The congregation numbered] 250 – It was a grand collection of residents. The chairs were hardly enough. There were nearly as many men as women and all devout. Some were very poor including one man with bare feet and many actual working men! […] M[iscellaneous]. – I was much affected and impressed. I never saw such a sight before. I wonder if the permanent church will be as successful. |
