“…the musical prelude was a voluntary played on the organ by Mr. Howe, the skilled organist, which was followed by a ‘jubilate’ by choir, with solos by Mrs. Ficker and Miss Rushby and trio by the same singers and Mr. Whiting, each of whom sang most exquisitely, and then the anthem, ‘Almighty God,’ by Byrnes, sung by the whole choir. An organ solo by the organist, played with cunningly artistic fingers, and a congregational hymn wound up the musical prelude.”
