...Peabody, Rev. E. S. Hale, and Rev. Dr. Gordon officiated. The choir was supplemented by the Temple Quartet of Boston, consisting of Meser. Bateman, (first tenor); Webber, (second tenor); Cook, (first bass); and Ryder, (second bass). The service was opened by the singing of the anthem by the choir. Dr. Peabody in his short prayer then spoke of the fitness of such an hour of quiet retreat, in which our hard, intellectual life may be softened by an appeal to our emotional nature. The 39th psalm was then read. Following this was Buck's superb "Lead, Kindly Light," sung...

This was drunk in most approved fashion and a verse of the National Anthem sung. The manner of toasting is worthy of description. Everyone rises, the Commander calls, "One, two, three, drink." Then, "one, two, three," and the bottoms of the glasses are rattled upon the table producing a most peculiar effect. Again is called, "One, two, " and at "Three" down comes every glass upon...

Two of the boys have voices famed all over England, and it so happened that both of these boys took a solo in the anthem. Never have I heard such devotional music, so heavenly, so inspiring, as at this service...
