kindly got up Mr. W. Per, for the delectation of those
who are too poor to enjoy Ruch a feast at their own
expense, was given on Wednesday at the Working Men's
Club room, High-street. Tho subscriptions were, as
het year, oolleoted by Mr. Page, from charitable friends.
Mr. Tigwell kindly presented the bread consumed,
and Messrs. Devenish, brewers, sent an ample supply
of excellent beer, to accompany the solid', of which an
kles may be formed from the fact that the beef and
mutton provided weighed 121 lb., while no leas than
one cwt, of solid pudding "smoked upon the board."

mightily to enjoy the good thinp provided. After dinner
Mr. Eliot turned the °cession to amount by an address
on the importance of preparation for the grave, and en.
pressing a hope that they might all meet in heavers.
He reminded them of the gratitude due to their
Heavenly Father, in whose sight all men are equal, end
to whom the soul of the pauper is equal in value to
that of the Queen upon her throne. They also owed
gratitute to those who bad provided the feast, and they
would not excuse him Il he omitted to mention the
name of their good friend, Mr. Page, by whose efforts
the dinner had been got up—(applaue). Continuing
his address Mr. Eliot retninded them that though they
bed by their appearance enjoyed a happy day, that
ba2pineee was of short duration, and he exhorted them
to seek a happiness that would last for ever; and let
them not look back to the post With regret, for that
would be useless and unwise, lie hoped they might
meet again next year, and enjoy a dinner equally as
good as they had had that day, and in conoluaion he
wished them • "happy new year"—(appletue).—Mr.
Robertson proposed • rota of thanks to Mr. Page, who
had truly earned the title of a friend to the ioor.—Mr.
Page, in responding to the warmth with which hie name
was received, said he should be aiwaye happy to superin•
tend the getting up of the dinner; but Its occupations
would not allow of his canvassing for subscriptions.
Ho proposed a vote of thooka to those friends who bad
so liberally subscribed towards the dinner. Each of
the elderly people were presented with aispenoe on

green.,
Talions had been issued to parenta, and the number
of friends who joined them swelled the party to about
400. A number of ladies most kindly ministered at the
tea tablea, and the guesta appeared to enjoy themselves
most thoroughly. The speeches In the evening were
pleasantly varied by some hymns very nicely sung: the
accompaniments being taken on the piano by Master
Harry Drew, who also performed the following pie... :
" Feast," by Parverger ; "Mary Ann," Rube; "Le
Zephyr,* Mar:introit ; Putourelle, Durand do Oran.
Rev. A. Davidson spoke of the feasting usual at this
mama, and told how the old Puritans used to fast very
often until somo one suggested that they bed manias to
be joyful for, and then they considered it better to feast
than fast, and their feasta became more frequent. H.
if. Eliot, &sq., superintendent of the school, spoke of
the responsibility of parents, and said that • very little
circumstance might deeide the coarse of • child's life,
one little act of imonsiateney might mar its whole
course, while one text of Scripture might be the means
of turning it into alright channel. Tel there was no
more encouraging sphere of labour in the Christian
church than the education of the young, and he urged
them to begin a new year in faith, hope, and love, that

" Behold I and the children whom thou hest given me.
The Bev. T. Cremes said the managers of the !school
did not wish to take the education, least of ell the

hands, for he would be the last to recommend the

worship was much wonted, and there ought to be a

they had, by the kind help of friends, and par-
ticularly of one of the members for the borough
H. Edwards, Ilm„ been able to clear of the debt to
their trimmer, which bad seemed like an immovable
mosatain Sil months ago. (Vs understand that Mr.
Edwards, on hawing of this debt, which has been a
pooureD of some gulioty to the friends of the 61111/11), at
once enquired how much remained unpaid, and mod
generously drew a cheque of about f 9), which he sent,
we believe, through H. N. Howard, Esq., his solicitor,
to clear off the remaining debt.] From this cheering fast

after speaking of the enomingement given to a minister
by perceiving his aongregation looking interested and
smilingly at him, congratulated Mr. Lewis end his
people on being out of debt. Alluding to the
politico-
religions *lunges that have taken plam in 1908, he
warned them against impacting too great and too
sudden improvements from what bad been done. We
nre taught a lesson of patience in the world of nature
by the slow advance of the tide, by the gradual uprising
of the coral island, and the aimed Impereeptible
growth of vegetation. We should work on
steadily, trusting in God, and not being dispirited
If there are no apparent remits. and In the
end the world will be the better for our
efforts. If we do not seem to have time be urged, we
must endeavour to make time for whet:ever is a date,
and we shall find that the more we have to do, the
more we shall be able to do. Let as then go on doing
God's work, in His strength, and trying to serve our
generation in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ —The
choir then sang the "Gloria in exoeLie," whisk Was
rendered with due spirit and vivacity. —The Rev. I.
Hirt, minister of Bank Buildings ahem!, first of all
000gratalated the meeting upon the fine leather, and
upon the anticipation of its continuance daring the next
month. He spoke with great satisfaction of the advent
of 11r. Gladstone to power, end said we ought no more
to fad fault with a statesman for not having completed
his education than with the sun when ho ;preaches
nearer and nearer to his meridian. A hopeful nof the
times was that the works of darkness ore getting more
and more noted for their visible ugliness, and we may
hope that they will soon be done away with. One of
Mom ugly works of darkness had been the practice of
torturing people to make them say what they were not
willing to, and this bad boos pat on end to ; but he
believed that in Weymouth certain means had been
used to torture MOM men's minds, to make them SAY
and appear otherwise than they Dodd wish, and be
hoped that with advancing light this kind of influence
also would cease to be used— (hear, bear).—Tbe Rev.
W. Lewis expressed a belief that, as religious people are
willed by Christ to he le the world, they mast take care
to let the enemy harem little power as possible, but
andeavowt that those principles which are in the
ascendant in the church shall spread through the
nations till the world itself becomes leavened by the
kingdom which is, like the grain of mustard seed, to
grow until it becomes • great tree,—Mr. T. Balling
reminded the meeting that though the congregation
were out of debt as regarded their annual expenditure,
with respect to which ,they had unfortunately got
behind, there was still £4O remaining unpaid oat of the

of scats were free to any parson without charge, and
people were quite welcome, without payment, to At
there. Mr. Bailing coneltided his addrem in • cheerful
strain, hoping that the debt might be removed by the
next annual meeting, speaking of the sunny memories
he bad in counectioo with the Sunday sehool, and the
vitality manifested Uwe, and mentioned that although
they had lost some Umbers yet others had been found
able and willing to carry on the work.—" Thou didst
not leave Ilis *mil in hell," was then performed, Mies
Norris being particularly admired in the lower notes of
the mimic, which were beautifully sweet. The chorus
" Lift up your heads." also elicited great applause.--The
Rev. A. Perkins, next gave an address., agreeing with
the Ipolitical remarks before uttered, and urging the
nequisitiou of ieformation for others good and our own.
He did not believe that interest in politics interfered
with spirituality of mind. —The Christmas carol, "Oh,
lovely voices of the sky," was next sung. It was very
sweet and pleasing. Votes of thanks were peeped to the
choir, to Herr Emil Behnke, who was mentioned as
having aodeavoured to elevate musical Mate in con-
gregational singing, to the ministers and members of
other congregations present, to the ladies who had
furnished tables, be., and the party separated, the
