“Rodborough, Parish Church. - A fortnight ago, we had our first tea in connection with our Band of Hope, which is conducted by our C.A. Scripture Reader, Mr. Old. Over forty members sat down to a good tea and were afterwards entertained by our Rector, Rev. E. Lockyer, with a magic lantern followed by various games.
