The Rector would also add, that the Working Society have continued their praiseworthy exertions, much to the advantage of the Church. They have contributed a considerable sum to painting and repairing the Church. He would also add, that the Church has received from a young lady, Miss P. J. D. Skinner, the present of an elegant Chandelier and very beautiful and appropriate Lamps for the pulpit, Reading Desk, and other parts of the Church.
