This is easily explained when it is remembered that so far this year, there have been few preachers to attract unusually large audiences. As regards morning chapel, on the other hand, the outlook is distinctly encouraging. I think that the final figures for the year will show an average attendance of 120 or more, compared with 105 last year.

All will have proofs sent to them from which they must choose the best and return it to Notman's Studio, indicating that it is to go in the Album. Otherwise the Photograph Committee will choose the one they think is the best. As the photographs of the first division from Abbe to Hyde will go to the engraver next Thursday, haste is necessary for those who have not had their sittings. The next division from Ingraham to Swift should make appointments at Notman's for their pictures before February...
