[E]xtreme Low Church.

O[rgan]. – Small and showy, only recently put in.  It was badly played.

H[ymns]. – formerly Kemble but now S.P.C.K.

C[hoir]. – A few screaming girls anywhere.  They and all behaved shockingly.

[The congregation numbered] 7 – These were grown up women.  There were no males except officials.  There were thirty children horribly behaved.  The whole thing was an awful burlesque.

[…]

M[iscellaneous]. – This is the most dismal failure I have ever seen of my 250 churches.  Of course, it is true, it is in a very bad neighbourhood; but thank God All Hallows, Union Street is very near.
