The collection was very complete giving most of the events in our Lord's life from tho Angels' visit to tho Virgin to tho Ascension. Mr Hazelden gave a descriptive lecture connecting tho various scenes shown on tho sheet and was listened to with rapt attention. During the evening at appropriate intervals the following programmo was given by the members of St. John's choir, each item being very well rendered. Sacred songs: "Consider the lillies how they grow," Mrs Andrew ; " The Hetter Land," Mrs Burgess ; " He wipes the tear," Mrs (ireshaui ; " Rock of Ages," Miss Storey; "Jerusalem," Mrs Burgess and two hymns, " At even ero tho sun was set," and ; ' The Head that once was crowned with thorns."
