After 1 the singing of a hymn, and prayer, he addressed the scholars and parents present. 1 He expressed his pleasure at seeing so many present, and then briefly referred to the ' history of the English Church, pointing out that there were churches and bishops of the English Church long before Augustine ! landed in England at the head of the ' Roman Mission.
