Mr. Worsdell, B.A. a friend of Mr. Oddie’s who was in Egypt a year or two ago – gave a lecture in school room on “Egypt and the Egyptians” illustrated with dissolving views. Mr. Oddie manipulated the lanterns. There was a good audience and a proportion of the profits were given to Mr. Woolgrove for the Church warming apparatus.
