St. Aldwin's district is formed partly out of St. Saviour's and partly out of Christ Church parish--the latter ceded the Colestown Estate, the former handed over Latchmere Street and Road, and the cluster of streets which is surrounded by the triangle of railways.

"Both young men and maidens, old men and children; let them praise the name of the Lord."--Psalm cxlviii. 12-13. "Blessed is the people who know the joyful sound: they shall walk O Lord, in the light of thy countenance."--Psalm lxxxix. 15. "Thy power to save!" thrice happy they Who taught of Thee delight to pray, Rejoicing in Thy love: Now clothed in righteousness divine, The heirs of glory,--soon to shine In realms of joy above. A pastor's warning voice!--"Take heed, Whilst by the sunny banks you feed Of England's good old Church! Live close to Jesus;--not on forms, Lest, unprepared for coming storms, You founder in the lurch! Heed well the Word--the joyful sound, The Gospel of our God--still found To point straight up to heaven: Beware of sounds of 'yea and nay,' For God's own 'yea' is man's sure stay, Not Pharisaic leaven." The presence of the Lord is found Where love, and joy, and peace abound, Fruits of the Spirit's Word; Where Christian hearts unite in prayer In Jesus' Name--the Lord is there, Jehovah, Jesus, God.
