Légende

Exeter Cathedral - Anniversary of the Societies for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, 1850. 'The Anniversary of these venerable societies was celebrated at Exeter [in Devon] by the performance of divine worship...A striking and interesting feature in the congregation was the attendance of the children of the various schools in the city...who receive or use books from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge...Total school children present, 2159...the Hundredth Psalm...was sung by the children in very creditable time and tune; but here criticism would be out of place, as, independently of other drawbacks...the mere want of a rehearsal together beforehand would have been sufficient to have excused any amount of imperfection. But their hearts were in it, and He, in whose service they were then engaged, required no more'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
