\VE enter upon a Xew Year, 1903. Year by year \l'e grow older, but we are always ready to welcome the years as we enter them as 11ew. Now, because we have hope in them, becanse they bring new opportunities, bee>mse they offer an occasion of new beginnings, new efforts, ne\" attainments. The older we grow, if we grow at the same tirrw IYiser, the more eagerly we sh"ll look to the time when all things shall be made new, the more earnestly we shall ask in the beautiful 1mrcb of the Christmas uolled, that we may be daily renewed by God's Holy Spirit. With this thought before us, as we begin a new Yolume of our ::Uagaziw,, 11 '' he>utily wish our readers A HAPPY NEW YEAH,

CnRISDIAS has passed, coming in a spell of mild and open weather. The substitution of an Evening Service for the Afternoon Service appears to be appreciated, as it was well attended. The Carols were nicely sung, a,nd the Church was prettily decorated as frtr as was possible with the Chancel still screened off during restoration.

THis month is well filled with Entertainments, it is to be hoped, not too full, that they may all meet with the success they deserve. A thea.trical performance, in aid of the funds of the Invalid Loan Society, is announced for January 6th, when two playa, entitled "Betsey Baker" and "lei on parle francais" (which we may translate for some of our readers, "French spoken here,") will be performed in the Temperance Hall, at 3 and 7 p.m., by. the following friend~ of Mrs. Beaumont:- Miss E. Bigg, Miss M. Bigg, Mrss F. E. Gates, Miss Heyoook, Mr. A. H. West, Mr. H. D. Hilton, Mr. C. C. Heycock. Tickets, 2/-, 1/-, and 6d.

THE Choral Society's Concert is to take place on Wednesday, J annu:y 14th, when Barnby's "Rebekah, a Scriptural Idyll'' will be performed together with other music and an excellent list of performers, including Mis~ Crisp, of Nottingham.

A Course of five weekly Lectures on Sick .Nursing will be given in the National School (instead of in the Temperance Hall, :as announced in the leaflets), by Mrs. Constantine, under the County Technica-l Education Committee. Each Lecture will be followed by practical instruction in bandaging, etc. Mrs. Constantine's Lectures were so well attended and liked last year, that we hope for a good audience for her again. The lectures will be on Mondays at 7 o'clock, commencing on January 12th.

THE Bishop of the Diocese will hold a Confirmation at Bingham on Tuesday, March 31st. The Rector will be glad to hear from those who wish to be presented for Confirmation, and from Parents and God-parents of children who are of suitable age.

THE Rector desires to thank those who have enabled a distribution of Coal to be made to members of the Coal Club, widows, and others, this Christmas. The balance of the Coronation Festivities Fund, amounting to £2 5s. lid., which was left in Mr. Turner's hands, has also been expended jn Coal for distribution.

The scaffolding has at last been cleared away from the Chancel externally so that we are able to see it in its new proportions. In the north wall a beautiful lancet window has been discovered beneath the plaster ani! opened out. It helps us to realize the ap.peara:nce of the CJ:lancel when it was entirely re-built just 70~ years ago, With wmdo":s hke thiS, thre.e on ea~h side, (of which traces strll remam), and a tnple lancet wmdow m the east end.

In lowering the soil, which had accumulated round the Nave to such an extent as to cause the walls always to be damp, a part of the foundations of transepts hne been discovered, These originally extended. on the North and South side of the Nave, 13 feet beyond the walls of the aisles.

The earliest Nave of the Church probably had no Aisles or Transepts, nntil about the first half of the 14th century when the present beautiful arches were formed and the aisles and transepts added. About the ye:u 1670 no doubt on the ground of economy, these transepts were pulled dow~ and the walls of the aisles were continued eastwards the whole length of the Nave. ~o that the Church is now sma.!ler than it was, a f~ct which Throsby in his " Thoroton's History" gr~atly lame.nts, and wh1~h has deprived us of much beauty as well as space m the edifice. It was m these tra.nsepts that the three tombs with recumbent stone figures on them were erected, of which the mutilated knight in armour, now within the Church is the sole survival.

A very unusual and remarkable ancient headstone has been found in th:e Uhurchyard, having in all probability been bu;ied ~n a grave to preaerv~ It from defac11ment. It is a stone about 2ft. 6m. high, the upper half bemg circular and the lower part somewhat point.ed for fixi~g. in t~e ground. On the two flat faces of the circular part a flonated cross IS mscn.bed o.f a p~tt~rn which seems to indicate the 13th century as its date. There IS no mscnptwn upon it. A burial in 1654 is noted in the entry in the registers as. prope erucem t'n cmmiteno, that is "near the Cross in the Churchyard." 'l'h1s may

indicate the existence at that time of a regular Churchyard Cross, such as is often found, or it may refer to this headstone, if as is not improbable, it was the only one of its kind in the Churchyard.

THE New Year's Tea on .Jan. 1st, is tm imtitution which is evidently highly apprec1atcd, and 1ndeed 1s an nccas1on of a pleasa11t and sncird gathering. \~hen we can .all feel young again for once in a way. Tea bbles were proVIded or presided over by :',Jrs. Barker, :\Irs. DuwuJuut, :\fisc; Fox, :\lrs. Hill, :\lrR. :\Iihrard, ;\j rs. \Veathcrell, an'1 Dr. llnff, and the tm.• relays \\·ere \Yell filled by wme :l50 puo11le. In the e11tertaimnent \Yhich follo~ved <lt 7 p.m., a Yarier1 pmgmHmle \\·as pruvidec1 by :\Ir. Cl-oldsto11e, \Yith the kind assistance of the :\lisses Fox and frien,b, :\fr. and :\lrs. Carter, \Jr. E. Coville, and the Hector's htmdbell party. The Hector gave a lantcm exhibition being \\ith a Christm,ts hyilln " Once in royal David'., city,·· followed by an interesting story of a rescnc> from Shipwrecl> entitled "1'\YO golden lilies." )Jr. Swanwick and :\lr .. Jesson attended to the tickets at the door, and many other helpe" contributed to !Jlake the e\·ening pttss pleasantly. The proceeds, after clecluctmg expenses, mnountecl to !:4 ck for the Church Restoration Fund.

FRmr 5 to 7 p.m. the Inetubert> of the G.F.S. arranged a sale of work, and a bran tub, in the \Veslepm Schoo] room adjoining the hall, for the use of which our best thanks are due to the managers who so kindly lent the room. It. was a very convenient arrangement, 11s it afforded occupation and shelter for many during the progress of the te•t and while the room \Yas being prepared for the entertainment. The sum of £5 was realized for G.F.S. fund fm the Church restoration.

Tm: Choral Society's Concert on Wednesday, Jan. 14th, in the Temperance Hall ;vas very enjoyable. The first part of the Cuu•:en consisted of Sir J. Barnby's "Hebekah" the subject of which is the scripture story of Elie?.er's journey to Haran tmd the bringing hack of Hehekah as " wife for Is.vtc. The principal parts were well taken by :\Iis,; Gertrude Crisp, soprano, :\lr. Gwilym Richards (of the Queen's Hall and St. James' Hall Conce1'ts, London) tenor, andl'.Ir. William Oaksford, baritone. \Ve much renTettecl that Mrs. J. ·wilkinson was unable to be at her post as accompani~t, hut :\Ir. Hooton, of Nottingham efficieutly took her place Mr. W. E. Clifton's accompaniment on the orgcm added greatly to the effect. 'rhe second part of the concert was as follows : Part song "There is music by the river" (Pinsuti), Choir; violin solo "Legende" (Wieniawski), ~Ir. Eric Coates ; song "Heroes and Gentlemen'' (Peskett), :IIr. W.

~IR. Herbert Oaksford, the conductor of the Society, must be congratulated upon the results of his work and his success in the arranging of the programme.

'rHE Rector also desiree to acknowledge thankfully a gift of £20 from a friend, given specially towards the cost of restoring the " Sedilia " or carved stone seats for the ministers, which originally formed an interesting feature on the south side of the chancel. Enough remains of the ancient stones to enable us to restore the ancient work, but it is proposed only to carry it out as far as any special funds contributed for this purpose shall permit, The relaying of the chancel floor is progressing, and the new steps which have been placed at the entrance to the chancel have necessitated the removal of the pulpit tempomrily, until the screen is taken down If anyone desires to make a special gift to the restoration, a suitable object is suggested in the cleansing and renovating of, and providing an oak base for the pulpit, which though plain, is good oak work of the time of George III.

A Ju)IBLE SALE 1vill be held in March for the Restoration Fund, to which contributions are requested.

\VE regret to record the death of Mr. Charles Hartley Bell, which occurred suddenly on Jan. 13th, as he was travelling to Nottingham.

Our neighbours at Kneeton will much regret the departure on February 2nd of the Rev. \V. Lush, who has been Vicar of Kneeton for three yec;rs, and who has now been appointed by the Bishop to the Rectory of Strettonen-le-field, in Derbyshire_

Tho course of fiye Lectures on Sick Nursing, arranged under the Notts Technica,l Instruction Committee, has been given by Mrs. Constantine on :V[om1ays, from .January 12th to February 9th, in the Nationttl School. 'rhe Lectures were very interesting, and opportunity was given for practical instmction in bandaging, bod-making, and other useful work in the sick room. They were attended by an average of thirty. Some of the bandages used have not yet been returned, and Mrs. Constantine would be glad if those who have them will kindly send them to the Rectory,

The annual visit of the Bev. J. Jervis, Organizing Secretary of the Additional Curates' Society, is much appreciated by some of us. He preached on Sunday evening, February lOth, and on the following Tuesday gave a Lecture on the Horne Mission Work of the Charter house Mission in London. Mr. W. F. Fox kindly assisted in the manipulation of the lantern. The Hector much regretted that he was obliged to be absent. The Collections on t:lunday were £2 12s. 4d., and at the Meeting 9/2, making a total of £3 1s. 6d. for the A. C. S, Home Missions.

The Rev. F. Downman, the Organizing Secretary of the Church of England Temperance Society, gave an Address on February 18th in the National School, to the members of the Mothers' Union and others,

On Februury 24th, the Social G;tthering of the G. F.S, was hold at the Bectory. 'rhe members and their friends spent a pleasant evening, and nmch muusement, combined with thdul lessot1s, 11as afiorded by two little phtys, ''The Lady !Joetor ., performed by elder me111bers, and "Tattle" by the younger members.

With apologies to the children, we hasten to add the following names to the list of those whose star-registers recorded over 100 attendances at the tiuml:ry School last year. Dy some mistake they were omitted last month. \Valter Upton, Edith lT pton, Eel ward :VIanchester, and Horace Claxton.

In old days, much of the instruction of the people in Scripture stories was conveyeil by the meau" uf a kinil uf religious ilram<t r:alled " Miracle Plays," which were frequently performed on temporary stages erected in Churchyards or elsewhere at great l!'eBtivals. Some of our readers may have heard of the great " Passion Play' which is performed once every ten years by the inhabitants of Uber-Ammergan, in Bavaria, and which is a beautiful and reverent survival of the religious plays of media;val times. A lrtter form of these was the " Morality Play," an allegorical representation of the virtues and practice of the chriRtian life, not unlike Bunyan',; " Pilgrim's Progress " if it were acted on a stage. An interesting revival of one of these old "Moralities" is to ba given in the Albert Hall, Nottingham, on March 16th, 17th and 18th, in the !dternoons tLnd evenings (tickets 4/6, 2/G and 1/-) entitled "Everyman." It was origin~lly written in the 15th century by a Dutch Priest, a,nd translated into English perhaps as early as the time cf Edward IV. '!.'he following is taken from the argument of the Play:--

Seeing Everyman liveth after his own pleasure and in no manner of fear, God sendeth Death to summon him to account. Yet may Everyman have company by the way, and he doth petition Fellowship, Kindred and Riches to bear him company, but they will not. Then in despair, Everyman thinketh of his GMd Deeas. 'rhen cometh Knowledge and admonisheth Everyman to address himself to Confession. Then accompanied by Strength, Discretion, Beauty and Five Wits, he setteth out on his journey. Being come to the brink of the grave these all desert him, but Kuowledge abideth to the end, and Everyman's Good Deeds ascend to Heaven to speak in his

behalf.

'l'he Play is very reverently performed, and those who have seen it have felt that its serious lessons are conveyed in a very solemn manner.

HoLY \VEEK A;;n EAsTErr.-During Holy Week there will be Morning and Evening Service each day at 11 and 6, except on Tuesday and Good Friday, when the Evening Service will be at 7 .30. 'l'here will be a celebration of the Holy Communion on 'l'hursday, at B a.m.

On GOOD FRIDAY the Services will be at 8, 11, 2, and 7.30. The Service from 2 to 3 will consist of short Adclresses and Hymns, so that anyone can come for a part of the time only, if clesirous of so doing. There will thus be opportunities for everyone to attend a Service in Church at le;lst once on Good Friday, and so to have in mitJd the solemn and tremenclous event the day sets before us, the death of our Lorcl Jesus Christ upon the Cross for us men and for our Salvation.

On EASTEH D.\ Y, the greatest Festiv"l of the Christian year, the Holy Communion will be celebrated at 7 a.m., H a.m., and mid-day. Let us come to make our Easter Communion with full desire to worship in spi1·it and in truth, with full resolve to rise to newness of life in the strength of our Risen Lor<l, and with R faith full of t.luLilkfnltwss for God's gift to us therein

THE Easter vestry meeting will be held on Tuesday in Easter week, in theN ational School, at 7.30 p.m.

The· Chancel of East Bridgford Church. IN '· Domesday Book,'' a very valuable record of a survey of the greater part of England made by William the Conqueror in 1086, it is stated that in " Brugeford " there was then existing a Priest and al Church with 12 acres of meadow. Does anything remain of this Saxon building of some thousand years ago ? About two feet below the present Chancel floor we saw the foundations of the north W!tll of an ancient building, with a large stone which without doubt was the base of the northern pier of a narrow Chancel arch about eight feet wide. One corner of this stone is worn by the feet of our Saxon forefathers who passed through that arch. This Chancel was about two feet narrower and would be probably about half the length of the present Chancel. Some carved stones of very early character, discoloured as if by burning, have been dug up, together with a fused ln:np of brass, so that we may conjecture that this first stone Church was destroyed by fire.

To this building there probably succeeded a Chancel of Norman date, the north wall of which was erected outside the line of the older foundations,

·making a Chancel of the present width and some twenty-eight feet long. . A great rebuilding next took place about the year 1200. The Chancel ·was lengthened 10 feet, reaching its present dimensions. It is impossible to say if much of the earlier work was incorporated in the new, but it was in effect a new Chancel of the early English style of architecture, with a steeppitched roof and lancet windows on each side. The walls are substantially the same that still stand, but the whole of their history has been one of impending disaster from the fact that the foundations were not deep enough, and the clay soil, as in the case of hundreds of other Churches throughout the country, has proved treacherous. · . . · . In 1330-1350, the central part of the South Wall must have given way -and required a large buttress, two large two-light windows being inserted on either side of it in place of the lancets. William Deyncourt was a great benefactor of the Church at this time, endowing it with 300 acres of land " for three Chaplains to celebrate in the Church of East Bruggeford." The

Piscina and Sedilia 'ue of this date, as are abo the Chancel Arch and Arcades of the ~ave.

In the next century the East \Vall required some considerable rebuilding and a fine "traceried" window was inserted, of which a few fragments only remain to show what it must have been. A mtlwr useless little buttress was also added beneath the middle Lmcet on the north side, and a new roof was eredecl. Time 11ent on, anc1 the poor olcl mtlb, buttresses ;md all, went out\Yards still, until in the seventeenth century the Chaneel must have been nearly in ruins, and strong JIICHSllf€8 were requirecl to save it. But the fashion in architecture and dmrch decoro.tion had changed. Gothic Architecture is no longer admired, and everything must needs be of the " Henaissance" or class1cal style imported from Italy. Lancet winclows were blocked up, Decorated and Perpenclicular windows btken out, all the beautiful stained glass which filled them thrmm away, the Sedilia blocked up, ancient tile flooring discarded, and three plain windows with round arched heads insertetl in the East and South walh No doubt the movement of the walls had so dislocated the tracery of the windrnvs that the glass was falling out and they seemed so far past repa.ir as to justify to the restorers of that time what we should now consider an act of destruction. Externally the walls were strengthened, being thickened with excellent workmanship on the eastern part of the north side, and cased over on the sonth side so as to make the outer face vertical. Two dates, 1671 and 1686, with the initials of the Hector, the Hev. Henry Smith, indicating the period at which this was carried out, are cut on the north and south wall respectively, The roof was also re-constructed out of the old material, of a flatter pitch, at this time.

The late Rector, the Rev. A. A. Barker, feeling the lack of dignity and ecclesiastical character in the windows of the Chancel, inserted the present East and South windows. But the fatal flaw of the foundations has still been :tt work, the south wall having moved outwards several inches since the last plastering, so that the roof timbers, now much decayed, were most insecurely supported, and the East wall had separated from the side walls for some distance of their height. The repair of these ravages of time on our interesting and venerable Chancel has now, thank God, been completed.

In a future number we propose to give a historical account of the Nave of the Church as it is to be read in records of the stones themselves.

IT is arranged that the Chancel, which has been closed for just a year, is to be re-opened on Thursday, April 30th, by the Lord Bishop of Southwell. There will be a celebration of the Holy Communion in the morning, and a Service at 3.30 p.m., of which full notice will be given in due course. We shall still be without our Organ, and we still have before us the restoration of the Nave. Let· ns pray earnestly that we may have the perseverance, courage and large-heart~d.ness ~o a.cco~plish the wor~ th~t remains to be done, and that the spmt whw.h. msp1red the Israehtes m the Wilderness may be amongst us too, as we ;ead in _Exodus xxxv. 21-22-"And they came, every one whose heart st~rred h1m up, and every one whose spirit made him willing, and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of the Tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his Service, and

. for the Holy Garments. ·And they came, both men and women, a smany as were willing hearted."

A Drawing-room Meeting was held a,t the Hall by the invitation of Miss Fox on Thursday, March 26th, on behalf of the 'Nomen's Mission Association of the S.P.G. the Rector being ip the chair. Deaconess ::\Iaria Burton, from Basutoland interested her audience exceedingly by her earnest and vivid yet very simple account of her work. The collection made at the close resulted in the sum of 30/-, half of which will be specially devoted to the building of a new Church at Maseru in Basutolancl, and the other half to the General Fund.

THE CHORAL SociETY gave their Second Concert of the season in the Temperance Hall on Thursday, April 16th, before a very poor audience. The violin solos rendered by Mrs C. S. Hill were thoroughly enjoyed as were alqo the trios by Miss Fox, cello, :\irs. Hill, violin, anc:i Mr. Oaksford piano Miss Wright gave a very pleasant rendering of ''A Summer Night" with cello obligato by Miss Fox; ''The Merry Monk" by Mr. H. :\'Icirley was enthusiastically received. The Choir gave " Break, break," "~weet and Low," "The Fairies," and the Concert· concluded with "A Choral Fantasia." Mr. Herbert Oaksforcl conducted in a very efficient manner, and the concert on the whole was worthy of a better house.

THE CHANCEL of our Church has been closed for just twelve months, but we have at last reached the day fixed for the re-opening, Thursday, April 30th. The church bells were ringing and the flag flying, and a good congregation assembled in spite of the threatening weather. At 3.30 the choir entered at the \Vest end, and pwceeded to their new se;rts in the Chancel singing as a prot•essional hymn "Runnel the Sacred City,'' )[o. 1503. The Bishop rJf the Dio·:ese was unfortunately prevented by indisposition from coming as hrJ h<td [ll''•l!Jisc•c1 to d<J, but Eish<1p Hamilton Baynes, Vicar of St. ::\lary\ Xottiw'ham, kindly to<>k his place. Standing at the altar and turning to the pe0ple he began the opening sen icc by saying : {' Dtarly btlcJved in the Lunl, \V6

are gathered together to-day to render humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God for Hrs goodness m prospermg the work of the restoration of this l'hmch, :wd to implore the continuance of His favour anJ blessi11g upon it. ',Yherefore I biil you secretly in your prayers to ask God's blessing upou this Church, for which prayer there shall be silence kept for a space." After this the hymn" Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire" was sung, all kneelina. 'rhen followed seven prayers, this being one : "

"Blessed ior. ever be l'hy ~ame, 0 Lord God, for that it hath pleased Thee to have l'by habJtatwn among the sons of men, and to dwell in the midst of the assembly cf the saints upon earth : Accept, we beseech Thee, our offerings this day ; and grant that in this place, set apart from. old, and. now restored to 'rhy glory and serv1ce, Thy Holy ~arne may be worsh1pped m truth and purity to ~11 generations; through .Jesus Christ our Lord., Amen."

'rhen followed evensong, the lessons being read by Rev. P. H. Droosten Rector of Bingham, <md Rev. \V. E. Bury, Rector of Screveton, and Rurai Dean. The other Clergy of our Deanery who were present were: The Rev . H. Seymour, late Rural Dean (Holmepierrepont), Rev. J. Standish (ScarTington), Rev. F. C. Cursham (Fiintham), and Rev. G. \V. Oxenham (Whatton), who attended the Bishop as his Chaplain; the Rev. A. W . Dewick and Rev. W. R. Sparks (Xottinghmn), Rev. F. C. Finch (Sneinton) and Rev. C. A. Hoc1g,;on (Burton) were also present. \Ve think the choi; acquitted themselves creditably, considering the great disadvantage of our being still without the organ.

In his sermon on 1 Cor. xiv. 26. "Let all things be clone unto edifying" Bishop Baynes referred to the frequency with which the word Church w~s used in the New Testament, and how the symbolism of the outer building was used to describe the inner building up of God's people. The word edifying in the text should be understood in its simple meaning of building a house. All the work in Church and out of it, sacrifice and sacrament was part of the builder's ar~; all contributed to the gradual building up, 'with many a. hmdrance, perwcls of decay and restoration, chaos and confusion in the buililing operations, of the great and fair spiritual house, the kingdom of the holy and true, in which man was once more to be united with God. It was important to remember this great aim which the Apostle set before them, let all things be clone for the building of the house, because. other aspects of Christian work were sometimes exaggerated out of proportion. One condition of Christian life \Vas described as conversion. Before we could hope to build there must be a conversion of the materials for their new purpose, and so it is with the spiritual life. Out of the cleacl materials the stone and wood a~ it were, there should begin to emerge the fair forms ~hich

should find place and meaning in the great building, Another very essential part of Christian life was philanthropy, but that too was apt to be exaggerated, so as to obscure the recollection of the central work from which philanthropy should spring as a natural consequence, The great central work is the building up of that spiritual life of closer communion with Go<l, the life that made its joy and glory known to the world outside through the new spirit of gentlenl"ss, love, and self-forgetfulness, which were the characteristics of that great edifying, the perfecting of the Saints. In the building up of these holy lives there were many backward steps, and failure and decay, needing restoration just as in the actual history of this Church. In all the work of building a good deal of scaffolding was required, and a good deal of thought and labour, money and time, was given np to that work of scaffolding. In building, however, we must ever remember the right proportion of the outward to the inward, so that when the scaffolding is removed-a sign that the work is done-we shall be able to face the approach of death with courage, and in the knowledge that there stood forth in strength and beauty, a house of God's building, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

On the following morning, St. Philip and St. Ja•nes' Day, the Holy Communion was celebrated for the first time in the 'restored Chancel, and our Thanksgiving to Almighty God was continued on the following Sunday evening. 'l'he Collections on 'l'hursday and the folluwing Sunday amounted to £12 Ss. 6d. for the Restoration Fund.

AT the Ascension Day servioes, our alms were asked for the Southwell Diocese Missionary Studentship Association. Some of you may like to know what this is, and an extract from its report is therefore here given.

" One necessary part of Foreign Missionary Work is to provide men to carry it on. The best source of all is our Home Clergy, who may be called to volunteer for Foreign Work, wholly or for a time. But this source is altogether insufficient. We need more men for home work than offer themselves. And every year a larger number of men are needed for foreign work ao fsallh opanings arise. Men must be found whose hearts God has touched.

-They are to be found~through prayer-from the parishes all over the country where Christ's call is effectively preached. To help a man who funs receives Christ's call, some one ought to be at hand in every parish, ready to show him how to proceed, and money for training should be forthcoming. It is for this purpose that Missionary Studentship Associations are formed. Our Association, which commenced work in 1888, has assisted 13 Students, 12 of whom are at work. abroad, and one is invalided. We have never refused to assist a suitable candidate from the Diocese. We have collected £97 lls. 4d. in 1902, over £56 from Derby and over £41 from Notts., and £5 from the Bishop, who is President. We generally assist three or four students with grants of £25 to £30, about half the cost of training at a Missionary College. Last February, the Rev. S. Baggaley went out to Brisbane. In August, James Bell, a native of Newark, went b Newfoundland, and is ordained and appointed curate of Bay Roberts, where the Bishop

. thinks his Church Army experience will be useful. "The Rev. Albert Lee, from S. Catharine's, Notting'lam,, is starting for

Swaziland , the Rev. J. Hutchby, from Eckington, and Mr. Leonard Oscroft, from S. Catharine's, Nottingham, to the Diocese of Pretoria, a.nd all three are probably sailing in the same ship. It is remarkable that in one year fir~e men have been added to the ranks of our Foreign Missionaries, who have received assistance from our Association. Mr. J, S. W. Dennis, from S. Michael'syDerby, is now our only remaining Student, and his. course at S. Augustine's will be completed at the end of the year, when he. hope~ to ioin Bishop Blyth's Mission in Palestine,

Candidates for Studentships may a.pply to the Secretaries-The Rev. W. Helm, Hallam Fields, Ilkeston, or the Rev. HenryL. Williams, Bleasby, Nottingham, and money may be sent to them, or to the Treasurer, the Rev. H. R. Rolfe, S. Michael's Viea.ra.ge, Derby."

AN account of some of the inscriptions on the tombstones will be of I , ! t • , - • --,

interest. The' oldest inscription is upon a flat stone in the pavement oh the r ,: - r ' ' - · . . ,

south side of the Altar, in memory of John de Stanford, who was Rector ' - ' - '

about tho yeat 137 5. The stone bears an incised floriated cross, but about six F t o • , • - •

inches of the head end of the stone has been cut off at some former period. 'The inscription ~ound the border is . . . Jojpmnrs . Dr . ~tanfor~ . quondam . I ' " ,

rrdar . wlie ·. De . hrigeforD . ruiu~ . ai~ . propicietur . ds . et ... oim . tristiaunru . ani . . ( . . John de Stanford, formerly Rector of the Church of Brigeford, on whose soul and the souls of all Christian men may God have mercy). On the face of this stone, nearly three centuries after it was laid, was cut "H.S. 1628," probably the initials of Henry Spur, Rector, who was buried N ovem her 23rd, 1628.

' Thifl stone is not so old as the very remarkable headstone which was

found buried in the Churchyard near the south-west buttress, and has now been placed within the Church. This is about 2ft. 6in. in height and probably stood about eighteen inches out of the ground. It has a flat round head with an ornamental cross cut in outline on both faces, but no inscription. It is considered to be of the 12th century, when headstones were very unusual.

A tombstone in the Churchyard has an inscription which has often been ·copied .for collections of quaint epitaphs, but which may here be for once correctly transcribed, before time has rendered it quite illegible.

"Sacred to the memory of IaHN WALKER (the only son of Benjamin and ·Ann WALKER), Engineer, Iron Gate, and Palisade-maker, who died Sept. 22nd, 1832, aged 36 years.

Far~well, my Wife and Father dear, No Engine Power now do I fear; My glass is run, my work is done, And now my head lays quiet here. Tho' many an Engine I've set Up, From man I got great praise; I made them work on British Ground And on the roaring seas; But my engine stoped, my valves were bad, And lay so deep within, No ·Engineer could tbere be found To put me new- ohes in. But Jesus Christ converted me And-took me up above; I hope to meet you all again T0 praise redeeming Jove."

John de Stanford, formerly Rector of the Church of Brigeford, on whose soul and the souls of all Christian men may God have mercy). On the face of this stone, nearly three centuries after it was laid, was cut" H.S. 1628," probably the initials of Henry Spur, Rector, who was buried November 23rd, 1628.

THE Bridgford-Hill Lodge uf the .:\uttinghaJ/1 All(:ient Imperial United Order of Oddfellows, held their annual meeting'"' WhiL\Ionday.

Cor,, xii, 7, speilking of thre<· gifb given tu all by Gm1\ Holy Sririt, but nut always remembered or used as they should be, the power of will, the power of self-mastery, and the pmver of influence. .U 1.:30 the members S>tt <lawn to dinner >Lt the Royfll Oak, presided over by the Redor, and :\Ir. C. Beaumont as ViceChairman. :\Ir. \V. :\Iason, Secretary, produced a satisfactmy Balance Sheet, showing a gain in the year of t':lO :3s. nd. The number of mem hers is now 97.

'l'HE :\Iembers of the Primitive ::\Iethodist Friendly i:'ociety h€ld their Annual Festival on the same day. The outgoing Stewards, :\lessrs. S. Cmtis and G. Ellis, presented a satisfactory balance sheet.

THESE Festiv>Lls serve a good purpose in keeping before the minds of young men the great advantages to be gained by joining a Friendly Society early, and while they have health an<l strength.

THE Band of Hope Festival was held on Thursday, J nne 4th, when a procession, headed by the South N otts Prize Band, paraded the village, and afterwards met at tea at the Temperance Hall. At the Concert in the Hall during the evening, the boys and girls of the Band of Hope, assisted by several friends, gave a selection of songs, part songs and choruses, They had a beautiful day and we hope made a satisfactory addition to their funds.

THE Girls' Friendly Society's annual festival will be held on Thursday, July 93rd at Whatton ::\Ianor, by the kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Montagu Hall. Service at Whatton Church at 3 p.m.

The new Education Act· comes into force in Nottinghamshire on .July 1st.

WE have been experiencing " remarkably cold and wet season lately, and the prospect for our Flower Show is not very hopeful. Everything has been much retaTded. \Ve have, in this county, escaped the disastrous floods which have occurred in some parts; and in East Bridgford we have fortunately not suffered from the unusual fact of a sharp frost on the longest day, which is si!id to have occurred for the first time for half a century, and which in some places has had a disastrous effect on the potato crop.

THE Hm ticultural Society held itt> 40th Annual Flower Show in a field kindly lent by :\Ir. Joseph Tmner, on Tuesday, June 00th, The weather was gloriously tine, and a good crowd from all the surrounding villages gathered in the Show Ground, when the Bingham Bmd gave an open air eoncert in the afternoon and played for dancing, which was freely indulged in, in the evening. On the whole the show '"as a goocl one, considering the cold winds and sharp frosts of early spring. 'fhc number of entries (excepting in Class A.) was up to the average. An additional attraction was provided in the shape of a Bee Tent with a Lec:ture on Beekeeping by Mr. Scattergood, of Ftapleford, and also an Exhibition of Honey and Bees.

YV~ are able to pre'<'nt om readers ihis rnonth with an interesting picture of East Bridgford Chnrch as it :tppcarC'! ''ome 40 years ago. It is a sketch nmde by the Rector froll1 an old photugmph kindly lent to him by Miss E. J\Iillington. The mnst noticeable fefltnu, is the round-headed window which was inserted in tho East end about the year 1671 by the Rev. Henry Smith. Two similar windows can just be discerned on the South side of the Chancel. When these were taken out and replaced with the present windows, by the Rev. A. A. Barker, some of the stones were seen to have anvient carving :tt the back, and were placed in a rockery in the Rectory garden. These have now proved to be portions of the sedilia which was destroyed in 1671 and have been replaced in the restored otrncture. A stove chimney is to be seen in the picture at the North-east corner. and the lines of the jambs of a larger window can just be traced in the East wall. It will be noticed that the trees which now add so 1r uch to the picturesque appearance of the Church had not then grown, and that a large yew tree was standing to the South of the Chancel.

'rHE Report of His Majesty's Insp3ctor, Mr. T. Morgan Owen, has been received and is as follows:-

" Wixed School.-This is a Yery good school. I am glad the playground is to be separated for the use of the boys and girls respectively.

In.fant Schoo!.-This is a praiseworthy Infant School.

The Grant from the Education Department for the year past is £122 9s. which is the highest attainable on the number of children in avera.ge attendance, namely, boys and girls, 75; infants, 46; total, 121.

The annual Prize Distribution to scholars for Regular Attendance, took place on Friday, August 14th, when the prizes were distributed by Mrs. Milward. The following children who had not missed once during the year were deservedly complimented :-George Bateman (3rd year in succession), Charles Allwood, Eva Bateman, Robert Moss, and Edward Ellis.

The School re-opens on Monday, September 21st.

Tm; Hacker Monument, on the north wall of East Bridgford Church, \Ya s doubtless moved to its present po:,;ition from the North Tr:msept, pulled down in l77fl. On it are represented ,John Hacker and his wife kneeling at a fald-stool. \Yith their six children kneeling in a row bene:>th.

The inseription is :-

HEHE LIE rH BUHIED YE BODIES OF JO f-IN HACKER OF BRIDGFORD ESQR & MARGARET HIS WIFE, WHO LEFr ISSVE 4 SONNES & 2 DAVGHTER, HF-E DE.PTED TS LIFE

YE 2-STH OF JIARCH A0 DNI 1620 & SHEE DEPTED TS LIFE YE 5TH OF JANVA.kY, 1G27, 1N \VHOSE ~IE::\10HY THEIR SJ.ID CHILDREN HAVE EJtEOTED TS l\IONVMENT.

Francis, the eldest of the children represented on the monument, held the East Hridgford property until hiH death in 1646. He had five sons, who t"ok 'liffPrent si<les in the civil war which causeil divisions and sorrow to so many families in the troublesome times in which they lived. His eldest son, •mother Francis, was n Colonel in the Parliamentary army, and as the officer in (·ommand at the execution of King Charles I., forfeited his own life :>nd estates as a traitor and regicide at the Restoration in 1660. His wife, thinking to save her husband by supporting his plea that he was acting under orders of others, came in haste to fetch the actual warrant for the King's execution from their home at East Bridgford, and thereby produced the very evidence which not only condemned her husband, but implicated many others by revealing their names. Of the next two brothers, Richard, of Fliutharo, and .John, of Trowell, nothing is recorded; but Rowland, a loyal Cavalier Colonel, who had lost an arm in the King's service, and maintained a long defence of the fort at Trent Bridge against the troops of his brother Francis, was allowed to buy back the forfeited family estate at a moderate price. He died at East Bridgford in 1674. Thomas, the youngest of the five, was killed in his brqther Rowland's company in a skirmish near Colston Bassett, and was buried at East Bridgford on May 12th, 1643. Little did that quiet family group represented on the monument in our Chnrch as kneeling in prayer, think of the troubles that were to fall on the next generation. As we look at them we may be thankful that we live in times of perrce and good government, and we shall ,remember the promise attached to the fifth Commandment, that horne-love and loyal obedience are the foundations of all peaceful and respected lives, and bring God's blessing on om land.

THJc fine weather which has prevailed during the latter part of September has raised our hopes of a succ~ssfnl ingathering of the H>tnest, which though late, and much interfered >vith by min, prmnisec; to he better than at one time seemed likely.

Our Han·est Thanksgiving Services will be held on Thnrsday, October 15th, and the following SutH1ay. The service on Thursday ewning will be at 7 o'clock and the Sermon will be preached by the Hev. J. E. H. Binney, :\LA., Vicar of Holy 'l'rinity, Ilkeston. The thank-oiierings at these services will be as in preYious years divided between the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution r,nd our own Sunday School Fund. The help of all willing to assist in decorating the Church on Thursdfty, will be welcomed.

An Evening School \vill be opened for young me11 and lads on Tuesday, October 5th, in the N ntional School, and will be held on Tuesdays and Fridays during the winter, at half-past six. A fee of 1d. per week will be charged, which will be returned to all who make three-qunrters of the full number of attendances. The subjects will be arranged to suit those who attend when the school opens, but it is hoped that older pupils as well as those who have just left School will take advantage of this opportunity of gainirig instruction.

'l'he Clothing Club members should complete their payments by Oct. 5th and the cards will be made up and ready for distribution on Oct. 19th.

In the Class List of the examination of Pupil 'l'eachers in Religious Knowledge, held throughout the Diocese of Southwell on June 27th last, we are. pleased to record that among the third and fourth year pupil teachers. Christine Goldston is in the first-class, and Chal'les Edwin Jones in the .third-class; and among the first year pupil teachers, Rose Gower is in the . first-class. C. Goldston, who stands 2nd out of 371 names, gained special . distinction in both Old and New Testament, and H. Gower special distinction in Catechism.

C. E. Jones, having satisfactorily concluded his engagement as Pupil Teacher in our School, has been appointed assistant in Sneinton Boys' School. We wish him every success in his career,

Miss Minnie Garrett has been appointed as teacher in the N a tiona} School, and will take up her duties on Get. 5th,· · · ·

'l'he annual ~issiomtry Sermons on behalf of the S.P.G. will be preached un Sunday, XoY. 1st, and the usual meeting ancl tPa \Yill take place on tho follo\Ying Tuesday. It mu; not \Vel! attended last yE·ar, but \I'E' hope ,]] \\ill make ftn effort this year to maintain the interest that has generally been taken in :\[ission \York, for the need grmYs greater as the British Empire widens, and it is God's petpetnal charge tn his penpl•· t0 extend the Kingc1em ut Christ our J~md. This meaus that enry single member of His Church <lllght to feel that it is part of the obligations of his religion to do >Yhat he can to help the great work forward.

THE Rnnual festival of the Bingham branch of the G.P.S. was held at Wh>ttton ::11anor by the kind invitation of ::11r. ani! :\Irs. :\Iontagn Hall, on Thursday, July 23rc1. The parties from variott" puishes mot for sen-iee in \Vhatton Church at 3.15 p.m., and after tea at the Inn, walked to \Yhatton :\lanor, where they >Yere welcomed in the beautiful gardens by their kind hustess. :Yiiss Ellis gave an excellent address on the duty of the memben; to be lih soldiers proud of their regiment, and making it their aim to be a <:redit to the Society. In spite of the heavy rain on the homeward joumey out party of thirty from East Bridgford enjoyed themselves heartily.

l'ilns. HILL hopes to begin her sewing meetings for ~1others at the Rectory dming this month.

THE <(Uarterly meeting· of the Mothers' Union is dne in October. \Vhcn the day is fixed notice will be given.

KING EDWARD's Club was re-opened for the wintet' on Tuesday, :.icptember 1st. We hope the number of members will be maintained and the Club continue to flourish.

THE tha,nks of the Church Choir are due to those friends who enabled them to enjoy an outing, the men at Cleethorpes and the boys at Skegness. The cost of the trips was £3 17s. 9d., towards which the Hector desires to acknowledge subscriptions amounting to £3 12s.

THE seao;on of Advent begins on Sunday, November 29th, with its solemn lessons of the great day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to judgment, with its anticipations of the glad Festival of the Christmas Birth, with its winter's call to thoughts of care for those aronndns in need of food and warmth.

There will be an Evening Service at 7.30 on the Thursdays in Advent. On Monday, November 30th (St .. \ndrew's Day), the Evening Service

at 6 p.m. will be one of Intercession for Missions, which we are annually asked to make at this season.

THE Total Abstinence Society held an Opening Meeting in the Temperance Hall on \Vednesday, October 21st, when Mr. V. Randall, of Bingham

' gave an Address.

::\IRs. HrLL's Sewing Meetings for Mothers will be held at the Rectory this winter, beginning on Thursday, November 5th.

:\'£a meeting held by invitation of :\-Ir. IV. F. Fox at The Hall, East Bridgford, on Oct. 6th, it was resolved that a Nursing Association should be formed for the District including the parishes of East Bridgford, Car Colston, Screveton, and Knceton, and a committee was appointed to develope the scheme. We shall hope in clue time to be able to giY'e further information about so useful a \York. Some may ask, \Vhat is the use of a District Nurse? The cn1swern1ay be given iu the stirring \Yorc1s of Jiiss Florence ~ightingale, the (levoted lady who, amidst the llliseries of the Crimean \Yar, was the first to see the necessity or training in the nurse's profession. ''To raise the homes of your patients, so that they never fall back ctgain to dirt and dismder, such is your nurse's influence. To pull through life and death cases, cases which it would be an hononr to pull through with all the appurtenances of hospitqls, •Jr of the richest of the land, and this without ~tny appurtenances at >til. To keep whole families out of pauperism by preventing the horne from being brokel' up, and by nursing the bread-winner back to health. 'l'o drag the noble art of nursing out of the sink of relief doles. To carry out pmctically the principles of preventing disease by stopping its causes or infections which spread disease."

THE Annual :\Ieeting of the Bible Society took place on Tuesday, Oct. 20th. :llr. vV. F. Fox who was to have taken the chair, was unfortunately unable to be present ; his place was taken by the Rector who introduced the Rev. ·w. R. Bowman as a Deputation from the Society; and afterwards by the Rev. J os, Barker, who concluded the }Jeeting with an Address on Mission WOl'k, to which the Society is a valuable hand-maid. The Report of the Hon. Secretary, ~[iss C. L. Beaumont, showed the total subscriptions to the present date to be £17 17s. lld., including £1 3s. 3d. collected at the Meeting.

G.F.S.-The Meetings for the elder members will be held on Tuesdays at 6.30 at the Rectory, and £01' younger members at the 'l'emperance Hall at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays. The Candidates' Class will be held on the same day at 5 p.m.

Rev. C. IV. Bamn, who had preached on behalf of the Society for the

Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts un the previous Sunday :\Iorning, g·ave ns a Ycry YiYid and intcl'P~ting accnuut of his \Yorl~ in (Jut•(•n:::;lanU~

Australia, whPre he ha~ been working mnong.,t sc•ttlt>rs and natjyes for nine

years. It is interesting to hear of the Church's 'York in the Australian Colonies, which began to be snppliec1 11·ith Missionaries by the S P.G. in 183G, ancl now

have 1G Bishops and nearly DOO Clergy, and form a self-supporting branch of the Church except for new and special efforts which are still assisted by the

old Society. After :\Jr. Baron's addres.s a series of tableaux rPpreoenting scenes of \V mnen's .\Iissionary \\'ork in India \\'ere shO\Yll. These \Yere

performed by )fembem of the G.F.S., and were very earnestly and clearly described by Miss T. Fox, \dJOse personal experience of the \York enabled us to understand and realize not only the pidmesque aspect of the scenes before

us, but also the value and the difficulties of the devoted lives of 'vomen

missionaries among Indian women and c:hildren. The scenes represented

the gathering of women by n well side, fL childt·en's school, and a lady

doc-tor's surgery; and 'Yere very highly appreciated by a large audience.

The amounts collected for the S.P.G. up to the present date arfl as follows :-

forward to its an·ival every month. It is not alll'ays easy to get it 1'eady

<Jnite at the beginning of the nJOnth, as its preparation often means a ::Jnsiderable amount of time ;md labour, and events haYe a way of s<nuetiaws dela,ying the publication. The Rector is always g-lad to receiYe iniorm,Lti.m
