    I believe I am the means of consoling much distress of mind and supporting weakness by suitable advice and encouragement, accompanied with a show of personal cheerfulness, though one has to wait sometimes a con¬ siderable time for any responsive demonstration. From the Library I have issued 290 volumes, which, being chiefly large periodicals and being passed (as I know) from one to another, betoken a satisfactory amount of reading. Besides these there are the weekly papers, with which I have nothing to do. Within the month of December I have overhauled all the Ward Stock of Bibles, Hymn and Prayer Books, and supplied deficiencies. The total number in use is 994. I am, my Lord and Gentlemen, Faithfully your obedient Servant, ALFBED BOND, POWICK, January 1st, 1896. Chaplain.
