Burnham: Church of England Temperance Society: The usual monthly meeting of the Church of England Temperance Society was held on Tuesday evening. There was a large attendance, and a capital entertainment provided for them in the shape of vocal and instrumental music, readings, recitations, etc. Among those who contributed to the programme were Mrs. Deuchar, Miss Pinsent, Mr. Hamby, Messrs Henry Cleare, Frederick Lane, and Stephen Lund. Mrs. Deuchar’s performances on the pianoforte displayed great skill, whilst Mr. Barnaby’s readings proved excellent diversion, and caused much merriment. At the conclusion, the thanks of the meeting to the performer were presented by the Vicar, who invited the company to remain and join in a few Temperance songs.
