The decoration of the church , which presented a beautiful and tasteful appearance , was carried out by a band of ladies , who had received generous gifts from the usual worshippers and friends of the church . The preacher on the Friday was the Rev. A. H. Horlick , of Coleford , who took for his text Psalm 65 , v . 11 , " Thou crownest the year with Thy good- ness , " and in the course of his homily , show- ed that the growth of the year was the rich bountiful harvest , which God had provided . The anthem on that occasion was , " I will feed my flock , " which was effectively render- ed by a full choir . The services on Sunday were conducted by the Pastor , the Rev. J. W. Kettle , the text in the morning being . " My God shall supply all your need . " ete ..
