"What happened at the Albert Hall on July 27th is known to all who were present (a very large number), all who listened to the music by wireless, who obtained a copy of the Service Book or read the description of its contents in the last number of the NEWS SHEET. It is not necessary therefore to describe the occasson but only to record a success which exceeded all expectation. The fine musical result was due to the well-disciplined co-operation of all concerned."
