The work of restoration has begun in earnest. The services are being held in the National School, which has been also licensed for marriages. Two have taken place this week. Mr. PAGETT has been licensed by the Bishop as a lay reader in this parish, and was admitted to that office by the vicar on May 28th, his duties being to preach, conduct religious services in mission and schoolrooms at the direction and under the direction of the vicar.
The fine garden at the vicarge is open to parishioners on Sundays, and the Vicar and Mrs. MILLARD hope whenever it is fine to see a good many come of their own accord without further invitation at any time during the afternoon and evening. It is hoped that those who find Brayton Park too far will take the opportunity now offered to them.
Mr. PAGETT has formed the young men attending his Bible class into an association, the object of which is thus stated on the card of membership, "To band together all young men connected with the Parish Church, and to assist them in living a goodly, righteous, and sober life."
