Correspondence on church and religion Selected and arr by Lathbury . rborough. f Margaret. X Magnificat, Wesley ; Nunc Diinittis, 8th Greg, (second ending). § Ps. xlviii. II, 12. VOL. II. 29 450 PERSONAL [1847 May this record then of my Fathers work be a holy and a happy record. May the work be blessed, in the days and years to come, by the gathering up, and the building up of many souls to Christ, and may the gifts they shall receive by means of this Church ascend upwards in glory to God who prompted the work, and descend again in blessings on the venerable head of him who did it. May his vigorous old age be gladdened with the thoughts and with the fruits of it, and when he goes down to lay his head in the grave which he has there solemnly prepared for the wife of his bosom, and for all his flesh and blood, may his deeds done for Gods honour follow him ; as he passes into rest and felicity may they survive him and work after him and help to hasten the coming of the Lord Jesus. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. W. E. G. Fasque,August 31, VIII.—ST. DEINIOLS LIBRARY In 1903 the following report was presented to thetrustees of St, Deiniols Library by the Warden, CanonJoyce. I reprint it here as the best statement of theobjects and possibilities of the foundation. The purpose of the institution was defined by the founderto be the promotion of Divine learning. I desire to pointout what is being done at present, and what I hope may bedone in the future to further that object. Taking into account the conditions of Church life at thepresent day, I believe that the chief object of our efforts atSt. Deiniols should be the encouragement of theologicalstudy among the parochial clergy. Each year there is a con-siderable output of theological writing, and a high degree oflearning is maintained by the distinguished theologians of theChurch. But it is commonly admitted that there is room forimprovement in lifting the general level of intellectual attain-ment.
