THE S.V. Cc. CHURCH PARADE

A Strong Muster: Bishop Molony's Sermon The annual Church Parade, marking the beginning of the S.V.C.'s inspection week, took place last Sunday under' most favourable conditions. All units were well represented at the preliminary pari on the Bund, close upon 500 of all ranks being present, with Colone] R. Marr Johnson in command, and the turn out was exceptionally smart. The inspecting officer, Major-General Kirkpatrick, and Sir Everard Fraser, K.c.M.¢., were among those in attendance at Holy Trinity Cathedral where a very large congregation assembled to participate in the service, Every available seat was taken and even standing room was occupied up to the open doors of the Cathedral. The service, conducted by the Sub-Dean, the Rev. C. E. Spencer, wes notable for its congregational character, There was no special choir music, hymns and a chant only being sung, and the whole service was heartily joined in by all present.
