Content Summary: He praises 'The Bells' the previous night which he prefers to 'Eugene Aram'. He thinks Irving must find the undertone of music disturbing and that there are times when the voice alone should be heard. Haweis believes one should get near to one's audience. He invites Irving to come to his church, St James Marylebone, and ask for his pew. He mentions the different morning and evening congregations and invites Irving either to lunch or dinner afterwards.
