have got accustomed to the change the new arrangement will be found greatly superior to the old. Cleanliness is, at any rate, assured : the new kneelers can be washed. Special Lent Services were held each Thursday afternoon in the Chapel at 6-0 p.m. Possibly the time was not the most convenient : but the attendance, though justifying the holding of these services, was never as big as might reasonably have been expected.

THE CHOIR Once again the Choir led the procession of Everyman at the Service of Epiphany Processions and Carols in York Minster, at 6-30 p.m., on Sunday, 29th January. The service, remarkable in its simplicity, followed the now traditional form, with the procession representing the Wise Men, headed by the Minster Choir, advancing westwards down the south aisle and the procession of Everyman down the north aisle, the two meeting and uniting at the great West Door before turning eastwards up the Nave. The following anthems were sung for the first time in Chapel during the term :O Lord the maker of all thing—Mundy. Thou knowest, Lord—Purcell. The king of love—Bairstow. Jesu, grant me this I pray—Gibbons-Bairstow. And the following, which have been heard previously :Lord for thy tender mercies' sake—Farrant. Insanae et vanae curae—Haydn. ["O Lord the maker of all thing", now generally considered to be by Mundy, was forme* ascribed by such eminent scholars as Aldrich

and Boyce, to none other than King Henry VIII.] 17
