Caption in album or on mount

No caption came with this photograph of the interior of the British Episcopal Church Foochow (Fuzhou), with fans. The church is decorated with Union Jacks and a banner ‘GOD SAVE THE KING’. Above the altar is a banner that reads: ‘From among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee.’ Perhaps taken at the time of the coronation service for Edward VII, which was in August 1902.
